This Free School Meals debate 18:53 - Oct 21 with 20410 viewstractordownsouth

I've just seen the clips from Twitter as I don't have a licence to watch on Iplayer but bloody hell, these heartless individuals... They're all preaching personal responsibility, while voting for a policy that will ensure whether or not kids eat is determined by their parents income, which they have no control over.

First we have Brendan Clarke Smith accusing those wanting to feed kids of "virtue signalling." He's the same bloke who was caught denying the scale of food banks during his election hustings.



And Kieran Mullen, claiming that it's not the state's job to feed kids.

I'm on the left, am in absolute 100% support of Marcus Rashford and would have voted against the government on the commons vote if i had one.

But I don't need to call every opinion i disagree with "trolling" and abuse my opponents. Perhaps the wokists should take a leaf out of Rashford's book - he has not made any references to politics, nor any mention of race in relation to the children. He just purely wants children fed and i feel absolute, shiver down the spine, pride in that man.


You'd be right if it were simple disagreements.

But this is every day of the week on every subject going where the contrary view is aired regardless of context pretty much for the sake of it.

It is trolling, not a mere difference of opinion.

No reference to politics? You what?!

Are we just supposed to ignore reality then, because it's pretty obvious which party, and which party's supporters are against this.

And 'wokists'? Good God. I eye rolled so hard I saw Narnia. You should drop from your vocabulary pronto.

You didn't see the reply that was deleted.


Maybe not.

But the principle is that Paz doesn’t think it is possible for certain groups to define things that they find abusive.

Not entirely sure why he thinks he can define what he finds abusive.

Seems a somewhat hypocritical and/or privileged position to hold.

Maybe he is just a victim of group-think, and the poor guy just can’t understand the context.

Being able to be openly racist and discriminatory without any pushback?

Yes i've read his tweets and he takes each opinion as it comes. In fact when the vote showed nearly all the Conservative party voted against his proposals, and Labour in favour it must have been quite tempting to get dragged in, but he didn't.

I think by doing that he has probably had more effect on public opinion going against the Conservatives, than if he'd have started tweeting about Tory scum or suchlike.

You're right. The real issue here is making sure the Conservatives don't get the blame. Let's not call it what it is incase we upset Conservatives and make them possibly, just for one second, feel bad about it and still not help hungry kids anyway. Got it. Thanks for that balanced contribution.

You have, but in a sneaky snide way.

I don't need to make myself look good. I am good. What people like you forget is that for most people it's easier to actually be decent than it is to role play at it.

Mate, you’re playing a losing game. Some seem to have free reign on here. That’s just the way it is. I get f’d at pretty much as standard, I get called ‘scum’, ‘piece of sh1t’ almost every day. That’s how it goes.

Fairly confident that most people would agree with that description of racist homophobes.

If you feel differently, well, that's on you. I don't really care what you think mind you, as I've never seen you on the right side of any argument on here.

There are no restrictions on what the vouchers can be used for - fact


Who cares? You've given one example. Even if we give you the benefit of the doubt and believe the story the fact is 136 kids could potentially have been saved last year. Does it really matter if 1% abuse the system if the wider goal is achieved?

Also you don't have to die to suffer through a lack of food for a prolonged period of time. How many kids will be hungry that week? How many parents will be hungry to make sure their kids can eat? We're talking less than £3 of income tax per taxpayer to make sure kids don't go hungry for three weeks. There is no argument against this.

Perhaps you should make a donation to a food bank. Then you could control precisely what gets given out.

Truly impaired.

So, you're a Trump supporting, racist and homophobic joke enjoying working class lad, dragged himself out of poverty by his own brilliance, only to now stomp on the kids who haven't yet had a chance to do the same, for no reason whatsoever than pettiness and spite, and you think you're scum?

Seems like you're the one who is out of touch.

"...unfortunately now sees us 2 Trillion in debt which will now be a massive burden on our children for decades to come.."

I see people keep making this intertemporal argument but never seem to be able to back it up with any accounting, Can you please explain what you mean by a burden?

You use the word "us" - so who owns the asset side?

Given the BoE's Q.E. policy, is the debt really £2tn?


Perhaps we can save 136 kids (or more in the current climate) who can then grow up and help reduce that burden if people need to get something out of this transaction.

If stopping kids starving isn't enough for people...

(not aimed at you Rob)
