Because all our tax money gets pissed up the wall paying for foreigners,foreign aid and Ukraine
Feeding your own children is purely down to the parents not the government
It should be, but Labour claims to be the part of the welfare state and looking after the helpless.
Of course it is but sometimes the parents just can’t stretch the penny’s . Thankfully I’ve never been there but you never know the day you are !! Nurses are using food banks these days get of your high horse
The thing that gets me is that all too often when one sees the mothers of these children on TV they look, to put it charitably, very well fed.
British tv has been brainwashing Brits for decades.
That doesn't entirely diminish the point though, it's not about lack of money, it's about their lack of ability to function in society. i.e. they're literally too stupid to properly spend the money the government provides them with. They don't buy raw ingredients and prepare them themselves, they buy pre prepared microwave meals or takeaways. Dealing wiht this problem is not just about a few more handouts.
Parents ! no excuses , it’s the halfwitted parents ! stop making excuses for them
Put Katherine B, founder of Michaela in charge of schools country-wide!
In that case, she's going to need a whole army of individuals who share her values.
Well to Starmer as long as the boat people are fed then thats all that matters this country is fuxked 😡
Yawn 🥱
School dinners used to be proper dinners, potatoes, vegetables and meat or fish with cake and custard after, now the children who get free dinners can only afford a fish finger sized hash brown and a drink. The older children especially boys can be nearly 6 feet tall and it's just not enough to fill them up. Need proper dinner ladies who cook real meals instead of contracts for pre made, processed rubbish.
Yeah, that would mean hiring more civil servants or hiring private catering companies along with refitting kitchens that have been stripped out of schools
@@chrisspencer6502 dinner ladies used to be employed by the school, no need for catering companies charging too much so they can make a profit out of children. They've been too eager with their stupid ideas.
Come on everybody gets that not just those on free meals.
A veg stew doesn't cost the earth, but mcdonalds is always busy
My school dinners were awesome. Always a choice of 3 mains, one being more on the healthy side and always a couple of puds. It seemed to all go to pot in the 80s/90s then Jamie Oliver got involved and it seems to have got worse. Where I'm from McDonald's is rammed with kids b4 school, then again at lunchtime and again after school.
Been going on for 20 years at least. It is just that the middle classes are getting hit by it now. As someone who grew up poor but managed to get a good job and get myself out of poverty, I would never trust government ever. Ill be visiting my family in Leeds in october as I bought my house in the SE after moving because of work, they were in joy when labour got voted in. Lets see what now happens. I for one could care less who is in office, i know the political parties want me to be reliant on them so ill vote them back in, while they take the cake and pass on the crumbs and tell me why I should be happy.
How can kids go to school Hungry 🤤 how much is 2 pieces of toast 🙄
It’s not rocket science, if everything goes up & wages stay the same then people struggle to get by.
That’s when parents become more conscience of how quick the fridge becomes low & the everyday essentials list becomes lower
If there are concerns about children not being fed, how about every school has a breakfast club and lunch for every child, and get rid of child benefit. And during the holidays, give them a voucher for food only.
I think teachers are being made responsible for parents neglect which is what this is
Poor & bad parenting is responsible for hungry children. The child benefit should be FOOD VOUCHER only.😊
Food is cheap mcdonalds isnt
@@dinaworkman306you mean
McDonald’s is cheap and food is not 😂
You think child benefit could feed a kid for a week ? 😂😂😂. Nurses are using food banks these days . Get to fk of your high horse
I wonder where the U.K. could get the funds and manpower to reverse this problem 🤦
Those going back into the state system, will just see those talented kids fall to the standards of the existing kids.
Poor kids are going hungry, lets thank keir starving
It's getting like the victorian era.
i could see poor houses coming back when the whole big con of money coming off the gold standard finally falls apart
So the question becomes how a country with a GDP 20x the GDP it had in 1900, and whose government takes 50% of that GDP as tax is "getting like the victorian era"?
The funny thing is, the Labour party always claims to be on the side of "the marginalized" and "the vulnerable", but only when they have the ability to vote. Pay rises for government employees who were already on 40k + salaries, but leaving kids to go hungry.
Knows nothing means he knows something get it right.
A lot of parents are uneducated and lazy. I work in a school there are parents who are quick to buy the latest whatever, phones, clothes, eyebrows, eyelashes done etc but can’t be bothered to read or feed their kids. Very few are in true poverty the ones that are, are very quiet about it but you can tell.
It may not cost that much to buy food, but it does cost a lot to pay rent and council tax
How about London's mayor? He wanted to feed all children. Brits are actually so colonial (one myself, but possibly more travelled). In schools in South Africa, where entire schools must be fed, the children are given a hard boiled egg, and later, a peanut butter sandwich.
This country could be so rich it could afford to give every child free school meals but lets be honest were putting the money where its not wanted, Great example paying grown ass men that have no right to be here after coming illegally in hotels and costing us a fortune. I bet they dont miss out on any meals do they.
Parents and government is responsible.
How many boats arrived today??
Mine just did this morning 😊
Don't have kids if you cant affird them
Parents smoke.drink buy lottery tickets
Is this man a real person that lives in the real world? Some kids don’t like eating breakfast at 7.00 am in the morning. The lunches at school are appalling. But these ‘starving kids’ would be fussy in what they ate.
How can parents have children they can't feed and in a first word country not a save the children advert from the third world?
Because all our tax money gets pissed up the wall paying for foreigners,foreign aid and Ukraine
Nobody forces you donate
1:21 - Incorrect. The parents that are causing this problem for their kids aren’t going to work at all. At least be honest with your spreading of false information…
Woah you know they can do import more migrants to raise the GDP by 0.1% while GDP per capita has remained the same since 2008 while rapid inflation due to the BoE printing vast amounts of money since 2008.
Having teachers in my family, I know this man knows nothing.
Knows nothing is a double negative
@@dinaworkman306 I didn’t say I knew anything.😂😂😂 I am a product of teachers that said, ‘call mr Dave’.
Does Mike not understand that the price of things have gone up over 100% in certain cases?
A number of reasons etc......but.......some "need" to think and I mean think "hard" before having kids...........Yes.......have breakfast clubs.but........ask yourselves why SO many of them...............
The wrong people are having kids because of the benefits system.
We’re are they spending money they get is the bigger question 2 pieces of toast costs next to nothing maybe 20p 🙄
Stop making excuses for what is child abuse. 😤 love doesnt feed kids. A parent waking up earlier and making sure breakfast is on the table and packed lunch is made is what feeds a child. It isnt difficult.
Exactly, and it is not because of 'boat people' it's lazy parents who couldn't be bothered waking up at 6am in the morning to fix their children two slices of toasted bread with jam or butter and a glass of milk or juice.Lazy people who refuse to take up accountability.
