Kopfkino Posted 22 October 2020 Share Posted 22 October 2020 (edited) It's such bad politics to oppose this topic when you previously supported it and handed out an MBE to the person campaigning about it. Wrong battle to pick even if you feel there is reason not to support the move long-term. There's better battles to pick if you want to preserve individual responsibility instead of redistributive statism for every problem.

Nalis Posted 23 October 2020 Share Posted 23 October 2020 I see Nicola's gone for a five tier system in Scotland as opposed to 3 currently in place in England. What next?

DennisNedry Posted 23 October 2020 Share Posted 23 October 2020 (edited) I'm usually quite critical of the benefits system and think first and foremast a parent should not rely on the state to feed their child, and the majority who can't do so fail because they're reckless and irresponsible with money. It's a stereotype because it's sadly often true. (Yes I know children can't help being born to feckless parents). However in this case, in the middle of a pandemic with huge amounts of no-fault economic hardship, and given the relatively small sum of money required, I honestly can't see the reasoning behind not extending the free meals. It's an odd one. Edited 23 October 2020 by DennisNedry 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuna Posted 24 October 2020 Share Posted 24 October 2020 I'm absolutely astounded, in what circumstances would you ever vote down free school meals for needy kids? Beggars belief. How incompetent would you have to be to not see the optics of this? Who is advising this lot? They'll have to back down anyway and perform another u turn, just like they did the first time Rashford started his campaign and just like they did with the exam results. Madness.
