You can sit in your house like you're camping with all your thermals on etc but your house will get damp and mouldy. It's not just about keeping warm.

@Prince Talleyrand Yes. We need jobs people can afford to have. Wages that resemble the cost of living. Kick start the economy by increasing disposable income to the poorest workers and get EVERYONE eating out, buying goods and paying taxes.

Now everything within the school is digital with finger print scanners. Kids that qualify for free meals get a couple pounds credit on their account a day and a pretty generous supermarket coupon during the holidays. There are still children that feel uncomfortable using the school canteen as it is the only place you can redeem the free school meal credits, and there's a more expensive "cafe" within the school grounds. Either remove the "cafe" or let children spend their credit where they choose 🤷‍♂ .. It seems society is determined to set a distinction of class and will go out of its way to try and make the poor feel inferior or the rich feel superior and therefore deserving of their wealth. It's sick..

The job centre is a part of the private sector, forcing people to take jobs that are vastly underpaid. It's sick. I've seen skilled jobs paying minimum wage and the job centre will sanction your family if you don't apply for it! People that live in luxury using the government to force people into instant misery and poverty to finance their lifestyles.

@atomiccritter6492 The government did a U-turn on that one and reintroduced them.

@atomiccritter6492 not long after they scrapped them.. After Rashford said it was a bad idea to take school meals away from kids.. 🙄

@stewartanderson6560 I like the cashless approach at school. I've got a child on pack lunch and one that prefers the more expensive "cafe". The parentpay account is very detailed so i know what they are eating and spending their lunch money on 🤔
