This Free School Meals debate 18:53 - Oct 21 with 22426 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 don’t believe he is any of those things. Except perhaps anti science which I think is a good thing right now. Looking at corona from a purely scientific point of view gives a very different response to considering economics ...

Did you see that they can't trace the parents of over 500 kids in America who Trump separated just to make a point?

Imagine being a child and not knowing if you'll ever see your parents again while being held in a foreign country.

Utterly horrific.


Perhaps those parents shouldn’t have put those kids at risk by breaking immigration law, just a thought

This is another one of your 'beliefs' that simply doesn't stack up with reality. Have a day off, Paz. When you're trolling people who care about vulnerable children being fed you should realise your life has hit the kind of low that warrants remedial action. The absolute state of you.

"I don’t believe he ((ie Trump)) is any of those things. Except perhaps anti science which I think is a good thing right now. Looking at corona from a purely scientific point of view gives a very different response to considering economics ..."

"The purely scientific point of view" could mean that without intervention, including the intervention of medical science that humans have developed, millions of humans could die from the exponential growth of Covid_19.

Being "anti science" means Trump is a climate change denier, with all that implies for the future of humankind.

If you're not a troll, the alternatives are that you're either exceptionally stupid or exceptionally lacking in empathy & compassion for other humans.

It’s not a competition but for the record I am just as working class as you are. Admittedly, since I moved out of Ipswich I’m not doing terribly and I’m a single man in my early 30s with a slightly above average salary. I know there are people bringing up families on less than what I earn just for myself. As I said, I am working class, I know real working Britain, I know what conditions are like and I know that paying a couple of quid for a kids lunch during the holidays is not going to bankrupt anyone

Working class this, working class that.

You don't know poverty, nor do you have any understanding of it, yet you keep making comments anyway and claiming it's an opinion.

You do not have an informed opinion. You are just saying things. That is not the same as an informed opinion.

There are working class people earning a grand a week so to keep banging this same repetitive drum as though you know what you're talking about is rude and downright pig-ignorant.

Yes, there are people for whom that 'couple of quid' per day is out of reach.

Then you wonder why people call you names. Vile.

To me, this decision about school meals is worse than Brexit.

You see, with Brexit, there is a chance of course, however small it may seem, that it may turn out a rip roaring success. Personally, I don't think so, but yes, I could be wrong.

Nobody can say with 100% certainty that Brexit will work, or it will not. We will have to wait and see. People voted for it in the belief that it will work, and as yet, we cannot say that they were wrong.

The school meals issue however, is only going to result in one outcome. Hungry children. For someone to vote, or indeed support that shows such wickedness, and lack of compassion for their fellow human being that their moral compass is not only askew, but thoroughly broken.

Search and Rescue by NewcyBlue 30 Sep 2020 11:11
I’m likely to be delayed getting home.

Coming up the coast of Africa as we near the Canary Islands, approximately 100 nautical miles south, we receive a radio call telling us to proceed to a position 10nm from us.

Two migrant boats have been spotted by SAR aircraft.

We arrive on scene approximately 40 minutes later to find two boats heading on a northerly course at just of 4 knots. Sea state isn’t brilliant for such small boats.

We reported to the nearest Marine Rescue Coordination Centre that we have two small boats in sight. A few minutes later they tell us that they have dispatched a SAR vessel, and we are to escort the migrants to the safety of said vessel.

For over 6 hours we escort what ended up being 4 migrant boats, with at least 30 odd people on each.

At 2135GMT we are released from SAR duties. Having escorted a minimum of 120 people to safety.

Delayed home? Likely. Worth it? Definitely. I have the rest of my life to see my twins, those migrants were taking huge risks in the Atlantic Ocean just so they can see the sun rise over a better future.

I wonder where they will end up. I wish them luck.



That’s what I call a good day.

Have you ever heard of the maxim "I Disapprove of What You Say, But I Will Defend to the Death Your Right to Say It"? I realise that the wokists have trampled that into dirt. Well note the word "disapprove". It means you can be on the left by disapproving of the right.


Do you even realise how pathetic you sound parroting things like wokists?

We hardly ever agree but I find you quite interesting usually, don’t become another useful idiot for those wanting to create a culture war for their own narrow ends.

Just as an interesting aside to the debate.

https://checkyourfact.com/2019/09/17/fact-check-voltaire-disapprove-defend-death

Would you defend a person, using anti-Semitic language as defined by the IHRA.

Would you defend a person that denies the holocaust.

Would you defend a person that tells gay people they should be treated for their condition

If any of those are defensible under the “Voltaire Gambit”, why doesn’t that apply to say Spruce expressing himself on say, Paz.

The trouble with the radical left Paz is they dont think anyone has a right to a different point of view...there is absolutely no need for any child to starve in this country - Me and my wife receive £160 a month for our 2 children, there are also unemployment benefits, Universal Tax Credits and as a last resort food banks....Marcus Rashford seems to be a very humble caring young man and I have complete admiration for him, but ultimately it has to be the parents responsibilty to look after their children, as a nation we seem to be getting more and more reliant on hand outs and freebies from the government which unfortunately now sees us 2 Trillion in debt which will now be a massive burden on our children for decades to come...


Why should a child suffer because of their parents' negligence? And why should all poor kids suffer due to that small minority? That seems a question that nobody is able to answer

We're not "getting more and more reliant on hand outs" - those have been cut massively throughout the last 10 years yet the national debt has still gone up. It's almost as if cutting peoples' support actually makes them less likely to make a decent wage for themselves.

"getting more and more reliant on hand outs"

It's just another of those things some people assume is happening, and have no idea what the actual score is at all.

It sounds good in their heads, it doesn't have to be true to be repeated.

To suggest the country is in debt because of 'handouts' is absurd. Notably these people don't comment on the billions wasted by government on white elephants or even appear to notice it happening.

I don’t have children.

But my taxes have to subsidise people that do.

Unless someone that has children, exclusively uses a private school that doesn’t have charity status, and uses private health care and never the NHS, then I am supporting their children.

I think this is sometimes missed, by some people that have children, and look down on other children, and think they shouldn’t be helped.

But guess what, your children are subsidised by the state.

Seems to me any rationale that Tories and other parents apply to spending money on less fortunate children, I can apply to their children.

I wonder, if more of my taxes are spent on supporting children not in poverty vs additional support for children in poverty.

In which case, surely, I should be able to demonise parents using state schools, and the NHS, for not properly looking after their own children, and they need my hard earned to support them?

Of course that is not how I think, but doesn’t seem any different to the attitude of some adults to some children.
