Re: food poverty in children in this day and age.
If we can spend £9 billion on the Olympics, we should be able to find money for the poor.Plus we can give money to the rich with their new tax relief, plus all the billions we give in foreign aid, it doesn't seem right that we should let people go without food.

The problem is that some don't.
The solution isn't to provide more other than in an emergency feed, the solution is to fix the problem by seperating the kids from the parents to where they will be provided with food and probably a very much better upbringing.
The parents who would rather "drug-out" or booze with the money they get from the tax payers?
Their choice. Leave 'em to it.

When it comes to REAL poverty there is none within GB.

I would like to see you do all that with 2 kids on £70.
Yes there are the minority who take drugs and get drunk but they are the dishonest ones who are also getting money from ill gotton gain.
The honest ones who want to work are not managing at all.

The extreme right wing views that you hold will never, ever come to fruition in this country. Too many people fought and died so that a little man, with a huge ego and maniacal ideas could not do what you are proposing.
There has and always will be people who will ensure that we have a free society who are willing to look after the more unfortunate among us.
You should feel lucky that you live in a democratic country were you are allowed to air your views, no matter how silly.
