My take on the £30 school dinner parcels.
£30, so £6 a day should provide a decent lunch for a kid, especially if you factor in the fact that the company/ies supplying this can buy items in bulk. Whilst I'm sure there has been some exaggeration/posturing gone on for personal >

political reasons on SM, I believe that most claims are genuine.
Yes, companies may have been unprepared, esp after Xmas break, to provide this service, but most of what we've seen has been scandalous, from a monetary and a food hygiene perspective. They should have been able >

to supply a far better offering.
This only leads to accusations of profiteering, which given it's off the back of kids having a decent lunch, is disgusting. The issue of contracts etc is hard to prove, but unfortunately the Tories have shown themselves to be guilty of doing >

favours for party donors, or even worse, friends/family. Anything like this, if proven, should be dealt with hard.
Then there is the debate on parents. I probably come from a generation where our parents had to struggle to bring up their kids in the main, so I think a lot of us >

are used to the idea that they would give up anything to make sure their kids were clothed & fed. Our parents didn't have the breadth of other items that exist now to draw your paypacket towards, back then it was probably just booze/fags etc so it may have been easier.

with the "want it now" generations shaming each other over their clothes/phone/trainers & the fact SM makes it easy to be shamed, you can see why some parents have other "luxury" items, whilst also being eligible for free school lunches. Don't get me wrong, any parent spending >
cash on beer, fags & lottery tickets, rather than their kids, can fuck right off, but it's too easy to just accuse them all of that because you may have seen one or heard about it on here. Most parents are doing their best, which must be especially hard after the last 10 months.>
The fact a pro footballer has done more to publicise and advance this issue, over the government or the opposition is a shameful indictment of both. The fact that once again battle lines have been drawn on SM is not really a surprise anymore, as it seems every subject has to be >
divided in to sides & you better pick which one you're on mate!
It really is quite tiresome to see us slagging each other off, over whether a kid from a not so well off family deserves a proper school lunch during a pandemic.
Shame on us all.
