Off Topic Ian Beale’s Free School Meals On Wheels

No child should have to suffer the consequences of their parents poverty, however it’s brought about.

I worked for nearly 20 years in mental health services and came across some truly heartbreaking stories. What folk need to remember is those people who have made bad choices to get involved in drugs, gambling, drinking, crime etc often don’t do that as a ‘lifestyle choice’, sometimes it’s a viscous circle of poverty, poor upbringing, being surrounded by crime, poor mental health etc that leads people down those paths into a world that they would never consciously choose.

 

Spot on. Bit like Captain Tom raising money for the NHS.

Don't get me wrong it's a brilliant story, and huge respect to him, but ultimately it's something that we all already pay for.

Think you might have said something similar at the time.

 

I did yes, good memory.

 

The amount of charity that hides the governments lack of funding is staggering....... Shame, shame, shame.

Anyway moving on do we really need a government that isn't transparent in any way shape or form........the walls of this kinda democracy needs pulling down.... Its a fking stitch up well and truly

Enough is enough

 

Welcome back.... @Sisu O'l Gravy Leg. is also back

 

... and what about Gillian Taylforth?

 

3.5%

 

Loads of local companies on board now, supplying free meals for kids. Can slate the British politicians all day long but the British people always turn up when times get tough.

And McDonalds.

 

not all politicians

Excuse my cynicism but that vote was whipped by the Tories, has she voluntarily resigned from her Govt role or been told to or she’d be sacked?

Fair play to her for voting the way she did like, but this lot treat internal dissent as a sackable offence.

 

Doubt his maths is too good now if he thinks prices have doubled since he got that deal.

 

Make it 400 %

 

That's all very well bro... but you feed your kids yesterday's fried eggs from the fridge.

 

I really don't know but I'd hazard a guess it's probably 800%. How fcking old are you?

 

Kids should be out stealing apples etc...

 

You never "steal"apples mate, you either gather wind drops or harvest them. Either way it's legitimate.
Crab apples give you the ****s and bad cramps

 

Unless you hop into someones garden. .But scousers usually skip the the apple trees, and go straight for an open window;

 

That’s not Ian Beale bro. Fail.

 

either way she would have known that would be the result but still voted with her conscience ,
