“Sparks fury” amongst which part of the community exactly? The pizza munching, inept ****************whits that can’t budget or cook food from scratch perhaps🙄

I disagree, you (I) couldn't cook a single meal from scratch for 30 pence, a bog standard cheese omelette costs more than 30 pence before you've fired up the hob to cook it.

 

He sparked fury from both sides of the house. 

 

He's talking complete and utter bollox.

Disgraceful post.

Absolutely true of course

Lidl Eggs are 7.9p each. Two of them, a sprinkling of cheese and a slice of toast will be near enough 30p, might even factor in the heating costs. Beggars can’t be choosers and there is plenty of self imposed beggars in the UK. Roosters are finally coming home to roost.

Better yet squire some chickens. Rescue hens are as little as a quid each and often free. Feed them scraps and you have endless free eggs. I’ve about 8 a day just now and we eat maybe 2. Cost me virtually nothing.

We seriously need to stop apologising for the lazy, inept and feckless that we have bred in the UK. They need to die out, one way or the other.

What it was on the Daily Mirrors part was once again selective inflammatory reporting. Most of what he said was possibly right.
I would hazard a guess (based on my own observations) that a significant chunk of the population cannot make a decent meal from scratch using fresh produce.
As we’ve discussed many times in here over the years and is now (given the global crisis) compounded, people lack the ability to prioritise or budget…. That’s a fact! And as long as the woke libtards continue to stick their heads in the sand and not address the issue… we will remain fooked!

Feed them scraps from a 30 pence meal, get real.

I had Cheesy Chips the other night as I just fancied it. £1 for a bag of pre-cut chips, cheap grated cheddar was £2 and bread for those that wanted a butty. Cheap cheerful food. £3.40 for 5. 68p each. I imagine it would have been half that had I bought potato’s and peeled and chipped them myself and felt the urge to grate my own cheese. Back to near on 30p a meal. 
 

Pasta and tomato sauce? I bet that comes in at under 25p a head.

The Mirror was selective in its reporting. Do yourself a favour and watch exactly what he said and the response it got from both sides of the house.

 

We will never do away with the feral, feckless and long time useless, which I care not a jot about, but when working people are struggling to make ends meet it's time for change.

And how long would you like to live on a shit diet like that?

But a 30p meal is easily achievable. 
 

Why can’t these bums grow their own veg? Plenty scraps to be had here. 
 

Personally I buy veg and salads at 5p and under from tescos at the end of the day and throw them to the ducks and chickens. 
 

And yes, scraps from a 30p meal is also achievable, my kids eat about half what we put out for them. Nothing ever goes to waste. 
 

Well maybe today we wasted a bit. 🤣 I ate half my dinner here in Kos.

Chickens are pretty cheap to feed - a bag of pellets, little bit of corn supplemented with veg peelings, dandelion leaves, chickweed, grazing open grass, snails, spiders, insects and general foraging. 
But aside from that, whilst 30p for a meal isn’t easily achievable, with proper preparation and budgeting, people can eat well for a lot less than many do. The proliferation of home delivery of every item or takeaway under the sun, convenience foods, ready made this and that means a lot of people have never learned how to prep food from scratch.
