She goes in every day to hand out packed lunches to kids who need them. Seems it's down to individual schools That's how it was portrayed earlier. Catering companies in schools doing the provisions. A few seem to be making a pig's ear of it sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royal white Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Schools have been in over a week now, they’ve probably fished out 10s of thousands of meals but people are making assumptions off a handful of pics. There’s probably more to the story Edited January 12, 2021 by royal white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s probably more to the story I agree, and no doubt, some are making shit up as well and posting all sorts of pictures. I highly doubt the picture with half a carrot and some food in money bags is real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fuckers split a can of tuna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If some tit has indeed done this as part of the process they need twatting with a big stick. If it is someone shit stirring on the Internet, they need twatting with a big stick.

Site Supporter Winchester White Posted January 12, 2021 Author Site Supporter Share Posted January 12, 2021 They are likely isolated incidents but shouldn't be happening. Those with half a carrot whatever can't be genuine surely? If so then whoever provided it shouldn't be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m out I've said before and agreed on this thread that kids going without is down to a variety of factors. The severity of the situation we are in now is mainly because of this virus. I still stand by my argument that public services have been decimated in the past 10 years and left us vulnerable. And that handing out contracts should be for those who are most suited for the job; not those who donate the most to your party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escobarp Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I’m not aware there is one contract for this and what research has been done into who they are and what skill set they have for this/these contract(s) Kids meals are subsidized more now than ever. So that’s not been but back? as an aside I spoke to my mate earlier who lives in this world. Asked her what she would do if given money or a voucher. Would it all go to the kids. She’s an Excellent mother btw. her answer was as much of it would go to feeding them as possible. But some months it would go to putting credit on the gas electricity etc. whatever fire needed put out was how she explained it. I don’t think there is a solution to this that’s easy as everyone seems to make out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accountability goes from the government to the people supplying the goods/fulfilling the contract. it also goes to people believing everything they see on Twitter as being true. Perfect point in question right with this matter. you can’t hold someone accountable til you know the true position. Sadly in modern times it’s trial by social media and facts don’t matter.

Escobarp Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 For balance I can see why folk don’t trust this government to deliver this correctly and ensure its being done right without it being another jobs for the boys pilfering of public funds I have little trust in them either currently north or south of the border with what’s gone on.

There's all too often a link between who gets the contract & their relationship to the party or politician. we've seen it throughout the pandemic. I think people are right to criticise that way of running a country. My rant earlier wasn't really about this case. All I know is that the contract was given to a party funder. I'll await more information before jumping to any conclusions. As you're right about social media. 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 I’ve tweeted Rashford a picture of my daughter looking a bit glum and dipping a piece of dry pasta into a glass of tap water.

Youri McAnespie Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 @Escobarp Who do you think Marcus Rashford MBE is, the disgraced Donald Trump? Posting shite from Britain First etc. without a 2nd thought. I'm sure he has advisors and researchers to hand - he seems a fairly smart bloke, I'm sure he'd be aware of the damage retweeting bullshit would do to his cause. I avoid Twitter like the plague, but some of the links to it posted on here by the alty-reety lot, dear oh dear; Tommeh's bumchum Damo, David Vance, conservativewoman, GuidoFawkes et al. All bastions of fair-mindedness and truth. You paint the Tories as being pilloried for every miniscule act. I see folk defending them to the hilt on almost every issue. Anyhow, I've made a conscious effort to avoid anything political on here for months now and I'm not being drawn back in. It's tiresome and I think it's far more revealing to give the soapbox entirely over to the 10-12 members of the 'Ooh! We're SO right-wing!' club and let them have a free-run Lemon party over the issues of the day... What's that 'law' concerning internet discussions over time?
