This Free School Meals debate 18:53 - Oct 21 with 20343 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 suspect there are many contributing factors and much more is needed above and beyond handouts to tackle the problem sustainably. The kids shouldn't suffer for either the sins or the misfortune of the parents though. Even if the parents are feckless. We're social animals that are supposed to look after our young ffs. Anyone saying differently lacks humanity.


This is the logic that seems to me to be obviously flawed. But right wing types seem to miss.

When ever people talk about spending more money on benefits, the characteristics of deserving/un-deserving poor, in some way pops up.
And of course we get people talking about feckless parents, single mothers just having babies to get houses etc.

Well that’s easy to solve, target benefits at children. This extends to children that are in care.

Children can have free schools, free school books, proper computer equipment, food, social workers with a low ration of children to social worker. The development, education, feeding, housing, protection of children becomes a function of society.

Now certain types, like Paz, will think things like, why should I pay for other peoples children.

Well, why should a person that looks after their health, keeps their BMI down, doesn’t get drunk, isn’t a criminal, pay for NHS care for fat b@stards that get into punch ups on a Friday night.

Why should citizens subsidise an adult being irresponsible, but not a subsidise a child just growing up.

Paz’s taxes currently subsidise some feckless adult humans, but Paz seems reluctant to have his tax targeted at children.

As you should, I just didn't want to give Paz the opportunity to deflect by crying about politeness again.

The Conservatives who voted against this got dogs abuse earlier in the thread. I don't know why upon reading that anyone supporting the Conservatives on this wouldn't expect similar treatment.


I just can't believe he's on here arguing about kids getting free meals, yet is happy about the money wasted on brexit. Just shows his mentality.

I’m not sure how the two are related. I’ve always been a brexit supporter, it shouldn’t be news to anybody on here that I’m happy we are preparing properly for it.
As I’ve said, I don’t want to see children go hungry. I just feel like this whole school meals thing is a bit of a gimmick and provisions for disadvantaged children is already made.

Reading your posts it is easy to see why you are a Brexiteer - not the slightest idea about anything.

You bleat "provisions for disadvantaged children is already made."

Yes, by free school meals, so if they need free meals in term time, then what happens to them in holiday time ?

Do they stop being disadvantaged, for those weeks ?

The most truthful answer, and the one he won't actually say, is that he doesn't care.

Except some of the absurd sums quoted on this thread weren't even making provision for Brexit.

Literally tens of millions to a firm that didn't even exist, and then tens of millions in compensation to EuroTunnel as a result.

Some members of this government (Grayling, Johnson...) should be fecking asset stripped with their own money going to make up for the careless/carefree losses they're responsible for.

So child poverty is down to feckless parents and/or absent fathers - not caring parents who may have lost their jobs, or been put on furlough.

Perhaps this MP and others of his ilk should have a word with a notable feckless father of numerous kids by various women, who is currently shacked up with some single mum in London, with another illegitimate kid - who complains how a measly £150,000 annual income makes it hard to get by.

And for those complaining who voted Tory, what the fck did they think they were voting for ?


Well said that man.

The very fact we need a charity such as Feeding Britain shows that we really are Broken Britain, and we are not on a road to recovery. We are currently going downhill and have found out that our brakes have been fixed by somebody who doesn’t know their arse from their elbow.

Exhibit A. The cost of extending free school meals in England through half term and Christmas to ensure the most vulnerable kids don't have to go to bed hungry, AND supporting Mancunians unable to work due to the government's imposed lockdown, are less combined than they gave to a private contractor to deliver PPE masks that were not up to a high enough standard to be used by the NHS. £120 million to make a difference to hundreds of thousands of lives versus £150 m to an offshore tax haven-based entity to deliver nothing.



Some backgorund on Ayanda Capital here - https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2020/07/banana-republic-corruption/comme Needless to say, a currency trading organisation specialising in "financial engineering", including tax avoidance is not the the obvious place to buy PPE. Although one of Ayanda's senior board advisors does also happen to be an adviser to Liz Truss. What a coincidence, eh?


£20m is less than £1 per taxpayer, per week.

If these various benefits are enough to feed the children during the holidays as you claim

then why are they getting free school meals in term time

Exactly. There's no sound financial basis for objecting to this. The only basis that people are against this is because they want to punch down on the poor.

It's really exposing these 'British People First!' Brexit gammons for the hypocrites they are. Clearly not all British people matter to them. Scum.

Everything he's ever posted on here, from loving Trump to Brexit to not taking Covid seriously to laughing at racism and homophobia to this awful take on making deprived kids even more deprived suggests that if he isn't on the wind up then he's the very worst type of person out there.
