    More children go to school hungry, warn teachers - Education News - Education - The Independent

    Cuts or bad parenting, you the jury must decide.

    They're not the same kids! Malnutrition isn't the same as Starvation either.

    We live in a welfare state that gives chavscum everything for nothing. As someone else posted, I suspect that for every malnourished kid you will find a parent who smkes/drinks and maybe even has other "vices" that are paid for before feeding the kids even enters the equation.

    I have mooted the idea elsewhere that we should scrap child benefit entirely and replace it with free school food for every child of school age (to include a healthy lunch and a mid morning snack (with milk, theres a novel idea)) . That way we would ensure that any funds spent actually combat the issue and dont just end up funding mums fags'n'booze.

    Your a prick then if you think kids aren't going to pick on others for having free school dinners!

    Err everyone would have free school meals as everyone (stand fast the Upper Class toffs with too much money who are destroying yardy yar....) so it is hardly going to be a biggy. In fact if you are paying for your meals you are likely to be the minority.

    Seeing reports from Greece over the last few days, poverty is not a word that shouldseriously be used to describe life in any part of the UK.

    I think you'll find that BOAB was suggesting free meals for everybody = no grounds to bully those receiving free meals (?) So not really a prick?

    "Malnourished - Affected by improper nutrition or an insufficient diet."


    For the hard-of-thinking who are attempting to board the outrage bus.

    LLECH, I am glad to see you reverting immediately to type. You really are a rude and illiterate cock. I said free school dinner for everyone. You even quoted me but clearly have the reading/comprehension of a 5 year old. So, if everyone is traeted the same, what exactly is there for the bullys to pick on?

    Did I mention you are anintellectual pygmy. No do us all a favour and fuck off.

    But is it the fault of the Tories or the parents?
