How, how, can anyone argue for children to starve at any time, let alone during a pandemic when many parents have no wage or have been living on partial wages for 7 months? Surely their usual argument of it being solely the responsibility of the parents won't wash even with people who would normally agree with them at a time like this? I absolute dread to think what January onwards will be like. Who the f*** voted for these barstewards? Also, the celebrity has just been given an MBE for his 'virtue signalling'. What is this guy's plan for tackling the 'real issues' in time for kids to eat next week? I should be celebrating that we are 2-1 up but this has made me so angry and upset.
I usually agree with it that it should be the parents responsibility but not during extreme circumstances like this.
The sad thing is many of those starving kids will have parents that voted these two hats in because, you know, brexit. The whole country is absolutely fcked.
That's what I mean. I have the opposite stance in that it's the kids who ultimately suffer and I have seen it firsthand working in some of the schools I have - skeleton or pot bellied kids crying in hunger and unable to concentrate. Yes, sometimes their parents were undoubtedly to blame and some of the children were eventually removed from their parents but until that could happen they still needed to eat. Even though we have differing opinions on this usually though, we both agree these are exceptional circumstances and no time to be refusing support and blaming it all on 'absent parents and I feel sure that that sentiment must be almost unanimous.
Wow a tory MP being a complete lovely person who would have guessed I hope the Muppets that voted for em are really proud that that's the type of utter **** they voted in.
Penistone and Stocksbridge MP one of those that voted against free school meals for children during school holidays, well done red wall Tories at least your getting the blue passport
I love the Tories. Their humanity and concern for fellow Britons is truly humbling. I am constantly surprised how often they show their kindness, compassion and empathy for others. I think this must also be the reason why so many people vote for them. It's nice when you aren't starving I must say. Good job those communist Labour types didn't get in eh?
Please dont tell me your surprised at how low tories can go? They have a history of it. Look up the milk snatcher. All piss in the same pot
Absolutely disgusting behaviour from a government voted in by a "Get Brexit Done" slogan. Kids without meals - I'm speechless
Q What a hypocrite . Quite happy to sell children short but has completely failed to realize that those children when adults will be paying his pension / healthcare expenses via taxes . They always talk about " self responsibility " until its about them then it's 100% " I've paid my taxes so I'm entitled to X Y and Z " .
I hope the people from the red wall that voted for this cess pit of a Government are very Proud of themselves . We taking back control by making our less well off kids hungry. what great Morals we have let’s fly the Union Jack!!
Well Mr Clarke Smith. I don't believe in enjoying freedom of movement to live and work in Romania, marrying a Romanian woman, bringing her - an immigrant - to live in the UK and then campaigning to end freedom of movement. You hypocritical scumbag. Note: scumbag is used in place of a much stronger expletive
