Free school meals outrage.

First topic message reminder :

After Marcus Rashford campaigned long and hard for the government to provide free school meals for needy kids in the holidays, and to also extend this whilst the schools are shut due to the pandemic,  the government eventually agreed.

Firstly parents who needed help were given vouchers worth £15 pw to buy food to supply their child with a proper lunchtime meal. Vouchers have now been changed to prepared lunch boxes suitable to feed a child a substantial lunch 5 days a week.

Companies are being paid by the government to make up boxes costing on average £15 pw., this is one of the boxes provided.
Companies are filling their own coffers  instead of providing hungry kids with food.
Shameful.

Taking the lion's share of the £30 is plain THEFT. Pay it back, greedy bastards!!!

It is a classic example of the capitalist elbowing in, and taking the lion's share for himself.

It is plain theft motivated by greed.
And the reason I gave Jules the 'like' is because she said exactly what I have said throughout....she just said it in far fewer words.
