I wasn't making a point about the government I was making a point that its easy for multi millionaires to throw their hat in the ring and support worthy causes, but true generosity comes from providing that support directly and I came up with a way of supporting that cause with a little tax relief.

Surely it's not the governments job to do everything for the parents? A schools primary duty is to educate children. Maybe just leave them to focus on that.
Quite right. We should certainly go back to how it was in 1905. Namby pamby modern families claiming they need help. Let them eat cake.

10 years of Tory rule and we've finally reached a point where we're debating whether or not we should feed poor children. It was only a matter of time!
If punk ever happened I'd be preaching the law, instead of listenin to Lydon lecture BBC4 |

Whether through poverty or feckless parenting there are little kids not getting a square meal on a daily basis.

So we can get the footballers to pay for hungry kids, maybe pop stars can pay for victims of domestic abuse, cricketers can pay for housing the homeless and the government can spend the savings on giving billionaires another tax break? No, cricketers don’t get paid enough but I’d go for pop stars chipping in. Everyone needs to help and the wealthy need to get involved. They never will of course on this sort of scale as the majority are all way too selfish with their money even though they could never spenc it in 10 generations. You get me wrong if you think I agree with the government voting down the suggestion because I don’t. We also need a plan in place to start repaying the money we constantly borrow and that needs to start at the top of the tree and not midway down which I fear will be what actually happens.

With Labour in power obviously we would not be having this debate.

The debate is who should feed the children in the school holidays. Something that's unprecedented. We've not had 10 years of Tory rule. We've had less than a year of a Tory government. The previous one was 10 years are made up of about 3 years worth of Tory rule and 7 of coalitions. The Labour leadership has been completely inept over most of the last decade. 10 years ago the Tories couldn't even win an election even though Labour had made a complete balls up of the economy. Perhaps be angry at the people who voted for Ed instead of David, then wouldn't chuck Corbyn out of the party despite being told time and time again that the electorate hated him.... but it's easier to blame the Tory Government than to take accountability.

Yes - had DM and not EM been voted in politics may look very different today.

Labour brought social justice and prosperity and senile tory voters can never forgive it.
