Penistone Chippy..

I can't imagine thinking like this. Imagine voting to deny struggling kids food and then going home to see your kids happily tucking into their tea and not even reflecting on it. Imagine then getting a sound night's sleep in your nice suburban house without your conscience giving you the slightest bit of bother.

Heartless tw*ts.

 

Lakis chippy in cudworth offered a similar re meals deal this afternoon ..such was the response from customers with donations to help out that they have decided to hand all monies collected to the local food bank
As of 17.30 hrs £170.00 had been donated

 

Yep if everyone lived in sewers some people would still vote Tory because they would look at their own sewer and conclude that its a better one than their next door neighbour.

 

I hope you have learned something today.

 

Ha ha ha


Ho ho ho, hee hee

Gufaw

Titter titter

Thinking these assholes pay tax

Stop it your killing me hee hee.

 

Palace Tandoori in Denby Dale doing same, free pizza for school kids next week. In the middle of all this sh*tstorm MPs getting the usual inflation-busting pay rise and a subsidised bar makes me a little bit sick in my mouth. My tv in the kitchen is tuned to calender north east (my son was at uni there until earlier this year) and Ashley Fletcher has ramped up Rashford's message in M'bro and supported a local foodbank.

 

Agreed, I'll state this. NO CHILD SHOULD EVER GO HUNGRY I don't care if the parents are chavvie ******** who spunk their benefits on fags and booze.

 

TBF Ian I did contact Jason McCartney (tory MP who rebelled on school meal vote) early on in lockdown about a legislative loophole in the housing regulations as they relate to student accommodation that I felt was putting lives at risk. I have had several very positive responses from him and actually feel that all things being equal, there might be some action in the future. (Even if it's only him buying me a pint in the Strangers Bar subsidised with my own money LoL)

 

F)))K me Marlon, that pint has to come soon mate, we actually agree on something. JohnCoucom has an opinion and of course he is entitled to his opinion and you have engaged in a brilliant way. In general he is correct that parents have a duty to their kids and there are lots of instances of people who have "gamed" the system. The media are great at finding parents on benefits, plastered in tattoos (I dont have any but they must cost 50p a time looking at some of them) smoking and staring into their latest iphone. However, three things:
1. Even if the parents are feckless, the kids shouldn't suffer
2. The covid crisis has pushed a lot of hardworking people who dont remotely fit that trope over the edge and they should be helped. The economic cost down the road (marital breakdown and mental illness for eg) must make a business case to help them
3. It's bad politics. The expenditure involved is (relatively) small and the government has not followed its own precedent. Ok they may be right that they have ramped up welfare spending but surely someone could have seen this banana skin coming?

 

Watched a programme the other day and one of the contributors made the point that
because some folks are only receiving three quarters or two thirds of their normal
wages/salary, it made sense that whilst we are still facing the difficulties of the pandemic,
it would help if the banks, buildings societies, or any other body offering loans, mortgages
etc , reduced their expectations as to the amount of interest charged to match the amount
of reduced income levels the customer had imposed upon them via the Governments furlough
/ salary subsidy scheme, instead of offering the present short term repayment holiday options.

 

Apologies if already posted but look at the state of this:

 

Disgusting human being

 

A couple of years ago a petition to end the subsidised canteen in Westminster got over 100,000 signatures meaning it must be considered for debate in parliament.

The reply it got was this which just sums up the disgrace we have running the country

“The Petitions Committee has decided not to schedule a debate on this petition.

This is because the petition is based on a misunderstanding. It argues that the cost of food and drink in Parliament should be higher, because MPs are well paid.

It’s not only MPs who can buy food and drink in the House of Commons. Catering services are also available to everyone else who works in the House of Commons, including staff who earn lower wages and work irregular hours. Some outlets are also available to visitors and members of the public. MPs make up only a very small proportion of the people who can buy food and drink in Parliament."

 

Ffs

 

In fairness, Troff his is a standard Tory response.

 

It is true though that it's not just for MPs.

 

That is true but that isn't a reason not to at least debate removing the subsidy. It's simply an excuse to get out of doing so.

Millions of people work where there is no subsidised canteen. I've been working about 20 years and I've never had a subsidised canteen.

 

Yeah I know, I just don’t have the energy to offer more response. There are too many like that.

Enough have tried.

 

It's a standard "john coucom" response... post something a bit controversial, stand back and then disappear off the face of the earth for a few days/ weeks.
