Kinder aus Milton Keynes „tun so, als würden sie aus leeren Lunchboxen essen“

Years of austerity and everyone trying hard to do more with less, while our public services and safety nets were taken away. And this is all we have to show for it.

All while the rich got richer and richer and richer.

Yet, we’re told to blame each other…

Milton Keynes must be pushing Brighton close for where people want a council home after London

In work poverty is a particularly Tory hangover.

We’re going to let employers pay you so poorly that you will rely on benefits to exist, that way we can pass a massive tax payer funded bonus to the private sector.

That children are going hungry in Britain is a disgrace but without widespread reform across society of everything from taxation to employment, to the welfare state we are not going to change.

Single most depressing thing I’ve read today, possibly all week. If only there was some way to redistribute money that rich people have , like a tax on their assets when they die , I know it’s a bit far fetched ,

It’s not just hunger. It will be the shame they feel if someone finds out, the anger they feel when they see school friends eating, and the lack of concentration they then have in classrooms.

Everything in society starts with the children and unfortunately, we’re still stuck with a Victorian mindset.

Im in my 50’s.
I grew up poor. Like second hand clothes and I can remember the first time I got shoes that were brand new.

But no-one went hungry in school time. No-one.

We should hang our heads in shame

Cost of living and its impacts are real, but this is a surprisingly baity headline from the BBC. There is no story here, it’s a body campaigning for underprivileged kids doing their job and throwing out some juicy quotes without substance.

This country is developing an incredibly weird food culture.

Outside of schools you get fast food – burgers, chicken, kebabs, and more chicken. Meal deals if you find a small supermarket – sandwich or wrap, crisps and fizzy drink.

Go to a hospital and what do you find? In patients get decent food, but visitors and staff? Fast food, sandwiches and wraps.

Go on any high street and between the vape shops and betting shops you get fast food – pizza, chicken, burgers, chicken, pasta, maybe fish and chips, and more chicken. Meal deals in supermarkets – sandwiches and wraps, crisps and fizzy drinks.

Railway station or coach station? Same thing, fast food and meal deals.

And yet we cannot feed all our schoolchildren? Probably because it costs money and doesn’t make that much of a profit, not like fast food or meal deals. We have austerity, can’t be giving away stuff or investing money in people.

Yet we can shove fast food, meal deals, vape shops and betting shops in people’s faces at every available opportunity.

This country has lost its soul….. and its mind.

Just how sick and twisted do you have to be as a society to let school children starve because they don’t have money and shove fast food and meal deals in their faces outside school?

“Der…. make money, economic growth, make money, record profits, make money, cut costs, make money, slash funding, make money…” This is our national mindset.

That’s right keep giving Ukraine more money and spend more money on illegal immigrants

cut the child benefit and give school meals for free to every kid as standard,
Problem sorted and less money spent on booze/tattoos, new nails, etc.

You can buy 2 gary neville loafs of bread for 45p each on tescos, + a cheap pack of butter and some cheap ham trimmings and make 20 ham sandwiches for a whole month for about £3-4

This is laziness.

On the plus side, the billionaires have never been richer. Plus, have you seen all those woke people and trans people? Disgusting.

Shit like this is exactly why I’m wondering why the globe seems to think the UK is a rich place with money. When over a third of children’s families can’t afford to feed their child at school. This sounds like a statistic you’d hear in a 3rd world country. Absolutely ridiculous.

Remind me again why we shouldn’t means test the winter fuel allowance or make farmers’kids pay inheritance tax ?
