[Math Lesson] Free School Meals in the UK.

[Danny Boy]

In families such as Zack's circumstances I do agree with it and would never want to see food stamps/free meals be taken away.

However what I will say is in the U.K you get a lot of stories of "Single Mum uses free meals benefit to save money for cigarettes and alcohol"

It is true some people genuinely need it but you hear that some people take it just because it's there, not because they need it. And this irritates me.

You act like that's the majority of families doing that. There will always be forgeted up people who abuse the system and the reason they are in the news is because the fact they are that forgeted up is news worthy. In the OP you made no reference to circumstances such as Zack's and acted like everyone should be able to pay for their kids lunches when the simple fact of the matter is that many families can't and rely on the free meals.

Government definitely buys supplies for their meals in bulk. They don't send ministers down to tesco to buy food at retail prices every week.

Chances are it is a lot less expensive.

This service is afforded to you and your children, your friends, their children.

Welfare fraud is massively blown out of proportion by right wing politicians, at least in the US I'm pretty sure it is.

Please don't be a lord tony.
