MPs rejected the plea for free school meals to be given during holidays.

Should be very good news for all the Answerbanks who think poor families spend too much on smoking, gambling, etc, so should get NO more handouts!

Let them eat cake! Or nothing.

Charles Dickens would not believe it.

Tora your ignorance and your lack of understanding knows no bounds.

Children across the world are getting free school meals if they need them over Christmas, Scottish children are.

Why are you so happy for poor working class English children to go hungry? Why are you so anti-English kids?
Allen as a socialist why not volunteer to pay for school meals at one of your local schools, that would underline your commitment to the local community.
"Why are you so happy for poor working class English children to go hungry? " - I'm not, as I said above that's up to their parents.
You are anti-English parents then and happy for English children to suffer the consequence and go hungry?
A couple of weeks ago, alan, you were having a right rant against poor people who P'd all their money up the wall. You, on the other hand, were so virtuous, you could afford private medicine and dared anyone to have a problem with that. (nobody did)

Oh, and Dickens liked to talk the talk but he didn't much like walking the walk. (like a lot of you Lefties, I'll warrant)
English kids have to go hungry so they can afford to feed Scottish children.
Allen, did you read my answer, I don't advocate free school meals I want a solution far more extensive, if one child in a family is hungry chances are the whole family need help, free school meals do stigmatize children. Why not put the help into the families who can use the help responsibly and for the few that can't take those children right out of the situation to safe places where they can spend the day having fun and being children.

While at the same time our esteemed decision-makers can wine and dine on subsidised rib-eye steak and claret.

I would need more than that plus the £180,000 annual salary to keep THE UK electorate happy.
However.....throw in a couple of the 16 Vestal Virgins and I might......just might....change my mind.
I.m 100% with Sqad and Aunt Polly on this, so have nothing to add.
^^ Handful of Viagra too?^^
Ibuprofen on stand by for Sqad.
A double dose

Sorry Rown, no offence intended.

But what do you do? Ignore all suffering (the norm for some round here) and huff “Not my business”, or just give what you can and hope for the best?

I don’t know. But if NOT walking past a hungry child makes me foolish, I’ll be a fool.

Sometimes politics comes second, and rightly so but long term solutions are needed because some people will not cope whatever help you give them and as a society we deal with the collateral damage.
ive said it before and i'll say it again what's so good about virgins? you need an experienced woman in her 30s/40s to teach you all you she knows
