Lt. Aldo Raine Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 The sensible move would've just been to stick with the vouchers, but then Ben Bradley wouldn't have able to fan the flames of the culture war, would he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowflake fuckers. Get them out lamping - save the government money and put the lazy sods to work on the land. That'll teach 'em the benefit of a hard day's labour. PlayStation fuckers.

Whitestar Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 1 hour ago, Not in Crawley said: Its not their fault, its the fag smoking, wide-screen watching tossers who expect the state to feed their kids. The kids'll have a tin of beans and be grateful. In my day, we had sugar butties and lumps of coal and everyone was fed, and everyone was friendly and there was no crime and everyone worked hard, everyday for their food. Damm right Sir. None of my kids ever got free meals. In the 70s there was maybe 3-4 fat kids in a whole school of maybe 1500 kids, now every group of schoolkids i see has an obese one amongst them. If you had free school dinners it was like having nits or something, you sat at a separate table and were bullied, now its likely to be as normal as having gay parents or your own behavioural therapist. A spam butty and an orange club biscuit was plenty for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peoople don't know how lucky they are Somebody on the radio said that within this package, they're "costed" at £1.08 a tin - I couldn't tell you how much a tin of Heinz beans should be, but I'm guessing that's on the high side, especially as you would imagine they're buying them in bulk and not just nipping down the corner shop for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazBob Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 How the actual fuck do they expect to get away with that? Even with additional costs such as transport, storage, etc, there's at least £15-£20 of food missing. It's absolutely outrageous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter barryk32 Posted January 12, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted January 12, 2021 Right. My eldest buys her school dinners. If she spent 30 quid on them she'd be taking butties. This isn't meant to feed your kid for a month its meant to make them a weeks worth of dinners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Spider Posted January 12, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted January 12, 2021 The company at the centre of this is Chartwells Chartwells is part of the food service giant Compass Group. The group's chairman, Paul Walsh, was a former member of David Cameron's business advisory group. He's also one of those lads that loves to bravely shoot lions and tigers from behind from half a mile away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beans & spud, beans on toast, cheese butties, Pasta (should be some sauce to be fair). You can make 5 dinners out of this for a child. Its not meant to feed a family of 4 for a fortnight. I reckon folk just got used to getting 30 quid a week to spend on what the bollocks they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're missing the point They haven't been given £30 worth They've been given a fivers worth So that's 50p per day, per child for lunch. And what they have got is mainly shite. I'm not saying this is 100% on the government to literally spoon feed folk, but give the cunts a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted January 12, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted January 12, 2021 Huge over reaction. At 9.00am this morning it wasn't even verified. However, taking it at face value, the company concerned acknowledged it wasn’t what should be sent out, and was investigating. Government also confirmed its not what it should be. Meanwhile other folk saying how good their boxes were, but got a cursory end of piece mention on the bulletin. Perfectly possible that a couple of fuck ups have happened and the company will sort it. If anything bigger, they risk losing their contract. Strange though, that one of the comments complained about no mayo, as it would be required to make a pasta salad. Another said they could get better value with the money. Now putting aside the few examples of inadequacy, are recipients really expecting to decide what should be in so they can make a particular dish?
