Conservative cruelty smashed by court (again)

Matt Hancock caves in over vitamins for poor children

A family took legal action after they were denied a voucher due to their immigration status.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock has caved in to a legal action over providing vitamins and milk to some of the UK's poorest children.
Lawyers for a family denied weekly vouchers worth £4.25 had challenged the policy as discriminatory.
They said the ban unfairly affected ethnic minority children whose parents were not fully settled in the UK.
The challenge concerned the "Healthy Start" scheme supplying milk, vitamins and vegetables in England and Wales.
It explicitly aims to improve the diets of babies and toddlers in the poorest families in England in Wales - and so reduce the likelihood of lifelong chronic bad health.

It seems that the only way to make the tories behave like civilised people is to get a Judge to tell them.

The dumbest thing is that the scheme will actually save the taxpayer money in the longer term.
Anyway, let's chalk another one up to the good guys and wonder why these tory cockroaches waste public funds on these court cases.

Ok but that they get 2 vouchers for children under 1 and only 1 voucher for children 1 to 4 who need even more food than they did as a baby to survive, I am not sure your healthy start programs is particularly well-conceived to begin with.

We have the same problem in the USA. Republicans.

Deport them. Or starve them until they leave. No food or water until they are on the boat.

Is that why blacks are so skinny?

They should be given cash not vouchers. Vouchers are demeaning.

I agree. Slip them an envelope of cash when they are safely back in their home country.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

They should be given cash not vouchers. Vouchers are demeaning.

So is leeching off the public teat. Afraid of freeloaders losing their "dignity"?

Charity is demeaning. Welfare is a right and we all pay for it.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

Welfare IS charity that the State dispenses. Get a clue.
By the way. welfare is NOT a right. Not everyone gets it and the State is under no
obligation to provide it.

It's merely a relatively cheap way to keep the underclass pacified.

I am talking about civilised countries. You have a strange picture of welfare. It isnt free. We all pay for it and we are all eligible to receive it. That is how it should be. The same as the NHS.

So was I. I didn't say welfare was free, except to the recipient, of course. It is expected you either make up my
words or don't understand them.
All taxpayers support the system but not everyone gets something back out of the great welfare
machine.

And typically obtuse you find charity demeaning but not State run charity. So imbecilic.

As I understood from the article, the kid can be considered the British citizen (based on nationality of the father). So, I don't understand why the benefits had been refused in the first turn.

Whether this ruling should be applied to all migrant kids (including to those the parents of which are the citizens) is another question. Basically, the British government shouldn't be responsible for them.

They should just give them out to everyone. It would probably work out cheaper than setting up a national structure to manage the system.

The old saying is when you feed one stray cat, you feed them all.
Not saying that we should not lend assistance. But it should be targeted and within certain
well understood boundaries. Otherwise you wind up feeding all the cats.
