Theresa May - the children's meal snatcher!!!

Not content with that evil witch Thatcher (phth, phth, phth) snatching the milk from school children forty odd years ago, now the scumbag 'nasty party' want to deprive school children of free school meals!!!

This seems to go in and out of policies likely yoyo!
I think free meals should be means tested.

They are giving free school breakfasts instead. Many have said they need a proper breakfast to start the day, so now they will do it, and that's wrong too ! Let's just pay for them all to go to boarding school.

Hi

Excuse me for stating the bleeding obvious.

Why should kids whose parents can afford to pay not pay?

They shouldn't but free school meals are already means tested you have to get certain other benefits to access them. They aren't given yo kids that don't need them. Only child I know whose parents do have enough money but gets free meals are a downs couple who can't be trusted to send their boy with a sandwich or money. That's a welfare case I'd say it's fine to help them out.

Hi

Julie, all kids get free school meals in the first 3 years, not means tested at all.

So whatever the three free years are they aren't national I'd say.
