Scotlands kids to get free breakfast and lunch under new plans

[Meathead]

So what's the point? Bloating the government?

To make sure all the children are fed, not just some or most. You really couldn't puzzle that out?

If their parents are paying for it anyway, why the middleman?

Seriously, are you that stupid? Black perhaps?

SNP pledges free breakfast and lunch for primary pupils all year round

Scotland’s education secretary, John Swinney, vows to dramatically extend free school meals policy

Scotland could become the first UK nation to provide free breakfasts and lunches to every primary school child all year round, after the SNP pledged to do so if re-elected next May.

Speaking at the party’s conference, the Scottish education secretary, John Swinney, made the policy commitment as he claimed that the UK chancellor Rishi Sunak’s “second wave of austerity” would unleash a “tsunami of child poverty” in Scotland.

Sensible socialism in action. Nobody gets left behind.

shouldn't the parents be feeding their own kids especially with the UK welfare and cash payments for kids?

Brits don’t want to be responsible for anything.

If their parents are paying for it anyway, why the middleman?

Because some kids are not being fed properly. I already explained that.

Here in America, Trump provides food stamps to millions of poverty stricken families so they can pick up cereal and coffee to feed their kids at home at no cost to them.

Great program, as different kids like different quality cereals. Cap'n Crunch, Count Chocula and Sugar Pops all have their advocates, as well as ethnic inspired cereals like the Irish Lucky Charms.

Shit! Trump provides...are you fuckin' crazy? the SNAP program is hated by the Right...and well you know it.

I note that you just can't help being snarky at the expense of children who are living in poverty--coffee and cereal indeed.

BTW..where I live..we have been giving kids free lunch and breakfast for years..yeah..in that reddest of states..Idaho. Even during the lock-down...volunteers prepared and distributed meals to every kid in public school...and we don't impose a means test--since we think it is the right thing to do.

Kids do better when they are not hungry.

i'm a republican and i have no problem with the hungry being fed .

Oh, and here I thought it was so the parents have to pay for it so they have to pay the government to pay for it. That is what you said, but you're on a far greater level than I ... in some way I suppose

Silly me. Gotta admit it sound pretty ludicrous though.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

That is what you said,

No it isn't, you embarrassing liar. I said the point was to make sure all the kids were fed. You cultists don't even remember how NOT to lie, do you?

No, you said the parents pay for it.

Sorry, this is just too fucking stupid.

Kids do better when they are not hungry.

Kids do better when their parents are responsible adults.........

And what if they are not?

Then extended family first.......then, as a last resort, the government.....this plan skips those steps and is essentially going to addict these children to government as a solution.........not a good thing.

Yes, government sucks. But there need to be a solution in this matter, appropriate for as many children as possible. If we are talking about school lunches, then I cant imagine the situation when some kids will have to look in another direction when the rest ones are eating.

Basically, this question is far greater than just lunches and meals. It is about what school system should looks like as a whole.

There should be as little of government as possible, without a question. But there need to be school boards, comprising of parents and teachers, who will establish the standards. Including the meals. All children should have the same meal in the school.

 

[Mr Natural]

Taxpayers actually getting something useful for their tax dollars.

Good for them!

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Our public school system already does this, where i live. And everyone loves it.

And how do the kids manage that process to ensure they get fed ?

It's called friends and family.......not government. Or would you prefer they get sexually molested by muslim immigrant men as the government you want to feed them looks the other way?

Government doesn't do anything well....can barely do the things it is given, poorly............the goal should be intact families that take care of children.....that should be what we work for, not making more people dependent on a corrupt, incompetent system.

SNP pledges free breakfast and lunch for primary pupils all year round

Scotland’s education secretary, John Swinney, vows to dramatically extend free school meals policy

Scotland could become the first UK nation to provide free breakfasts and lunches to every primary school child all year round, after the SNP pledged to do so if re-elected next May.

Speaking at the party’s conference, the Scottish education secretary, John Swinney, made the policy commitment as he claimed that the UK chancellor Rishi Sunak’s “second wave of austerity” would unleash a “tsunami of child poverty” in Scotland.

Sensible socialism in action. Nobody gets left behind.

So the folks that offer their services to order, prepare & serve the food year around for the 'Free' meal deal do not get reimbursed by the taxpayers? Like wow that is 'FREE' for sure! I imagine the farmers do not get reimbursed either by the taxpayers for providing the meat, dairy, vegetables, grains & fruits they grow/harvest for the folks that order, prepare & serve the kids? Like wow that is 'Free' for sure! The truck drivers that pick up & deliver the food stock to the schools are obviously working for zero wages also like this is great! The mechanics & filling station personnel who keep the trucks serviced & fueled for the 'Free' food farmers & 'Free' meal deal workers must be working for 'Free' also like what a deal!

If that continues only the proffe$$ional politician$ will have to reap those nasty capitalist rewards as the proletariat peons survive on rodents & rain water like what a super deal!!! It would all end up in a heaven of enslavement, riots, starvation, mass murder & rage just like the former USSR & every other communalist left country has also ended up doing. We in the USA gotta get this 'Free' meal deal for all kids up & running as fast as we can! Why didn't I come up with this idea??? I mean we'll all be living as good a life as the inmates did @ the Auschwitz/Birkenau Buna complex did like praise the statist left!!!

Budsickle and Pringles

Then for those kids who are all alone, then the government can step in...but you don't jump to just feeding kids with other people's money for no reason other than you want to get them used to the government taking care of them.

No....it is the left that kills babies and the left that supports killing old people......conservatives give more in time and money to charities and helping other people than left wingers do, and that is after paying their taxes....
