The 75p per head is what they spend on food, the wages etc. are accounted for elsewhere.

So says your mate. 🙄 “A man down the pub told me” has more credibility that what you’re spouting.

Hey sunshine, your father figure issues are shining through here. It's quite apparent that you've never been loved, it's ok though, not everyone is out to get you. Reach out. You might surprise yourself:

I really don’t understand why people are against the free school meals……

I appreciate that some of the parents and their benefit claims are “questionable” but that does not mean their child should suffer? At the end of the day it means a hungry child gets fed. Take any politics, “parents should know better” out of the equation, it is literally that simple. And punishing a child because their parents don’t/can’t provide for them is very cruel. 

Perhaps it’s because these worthless parents are already being handed money to pay for the dragging up of their spawn including all their meals? If even then they refuse to feed their children and their only decent meal a day is a free school lunch then in my eyes that’s child abuse and these children should be taken into care. 
 

There is no accountability at all. Neglect and child abuse is rewarded not reprimanded resulting in another generation of feckless idiots who will repeat the process.

Their declared inability to feed their children during the school hols is a rather larger giveaway in respect of their abysmal parenting capabilities..

However I strongly feel every child should be entitled to free school meals, regardless of income or benefits.

So no "markers" for those on benefits, and better economies of scale in the catering.

But only during term-time.

I would argue the care system does more harm than good. Surely the best way to break the cycle is to educate and offer opportunities to those effected, not punish their children who only know the lifestyle they’ve been raised in? 
 

Look at our prison system-punishment often does nothing to deter people from poor actions, education & rehabilitation however does

As far as I’m aware there is no free school meals for anyone in the the Norwegian Education System, certainly not in primary school. Every single kid takes in a simple packed lunch. There is also almost Stazi-like health personnel patrolling the school (I can’t remember their official title) looking out for even the most remote form of abuse, physical evidence or an overheard comment.  And the Norwegian System will without a doubt remove the children from the parents care if there is the slightest of evidence the parents are not looking after their children. 
 

What we have here is the exact opposite. Each successive generation is pandered to a little more. And it’s the children who suffer the abuse. The Band-Aid needs ripped off swiftly. Perhaps there will be a generation of affected children but each successive generation will be better cared for and will actually have a chance at life, like I see in Norway. 
 

It works in Norway, it can work here. The very people in the UK who say “think of the children” are in fact suggesting the opposite in allowing this abuse and downward spiral to continue and escalate. 
 

And since it’s so well established in Norway no one who suggests or agrees with their line of reasoning can be accused of being right-wing since we are repeatedly told how left-wing and socialist Norway is.
