Bang on Robb. 👍

I should not have used that to back up my point and I apologize. But it is true. Google may help you out. It's why I feel so strongly about mob rule by social media.

Rather than giving them their benefits all in cash, they should be issued vouchers, be it food or clothing. Make sure that only food can be bought as oppose to other items available in supermarkets ie cigarettes, alcohol, white goods etc.... and then they wouldn’t need free school meals.


----------------------------------------------------------------------
I would agree with this in principle but sadly I think it would just open up another black market. Swap £10 in food vouchers for £6 in cash. The only way it would work is to be make the vouchers secure and non-transferrable.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If they’re linked to a specific registered recipient then this should be avoidable. Though as with most things, nothings infallible, there’s only so much you can do.

Brilliant article. How about we put the blame on the parents instead of the government all the time. How much is a bag of pasta and a tin of tomato’s. Prob a £1 from Aldi. What percentage of these so called parents who are calling for free school meal? Smoke, drink, have a car, Got sky, Netflix, Get takeaways ect.. But people come back saying can’t punish the kids for their parents. That’s just passing the buck. We want to give parents who are poor with money. Even more free stuff. Anyone who can’t feed their kids. Should have all their outgoing check to see where their money is going. And by the way it’s not free school meals. The hard working tax payer. Pays for it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you. You expressed my sentiment perhaps more sensitively than I did.
The silent majority (AND WE ARE THE MAJORITY) have had enough. Feckless parents unable to feed their children and its the governments fault somehow. There are dreadful parents in society. And you all know there are. They are not "disadvanteged". They are willfully neglectful, irresponsible or just plain ignorant. Enough.
Personal responsibility please. It is the not the state or tax payer's duty to bail out inadequate parenting.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You are not a MAJORITY
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hell yes WE ARE THE MAJORITY. Not been a socialist UK government in this country for half a century. What does that tell you?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What does it tell you when Tory Councils are agreeing with Marcus and many Tory MPs.
But in any event I hope you are not thick enough to believe feeding kids is confined to Labour voters

Admin, please ban this cant, it’s obviously Culer. So bored in life that he has to be this guy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He may not have gotten his point across very well, but he has a point with the gist of what he’s saying. Families are given benefits, and it’s worked out so they get enough to live to a basic standard of living. This includes food, so why should they get extra benefits on top of what they already get just because they don’t feel the need to prioritise their child’s wellbeing over their own selfish needs.

Rather than just throw more money at them, we need to address the causes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Expressed less provocatively than I did

Nobody uses social media for mob rule than the hard right. I've just been watching a programme on Bolsorano in Brazil and fake information, as Trump,others are copying.

Mob rule, get real, it's people backing an admirable cause started by an admirable man.

As a rule family allowance works for most people,they manage to run their family finances adequetely,but there are a growing number who see the benifit s available as a way of life,they know how to work the system,no one minds giving a leg up,thats what it was ment for ,i have known people that have spent a lifetime of not being involved in genuine work mainly because it affects their benifits,it's a lifestyle that needs to be abolished.

A guy who joins the site today just hours after wum-in-chief Culer gets banned and does a deliberately provocative post claiming things like suicide - I’m smelling a rat.

Admin, please delete this post if not allowed but please leave the thread going.
Enough with the "ban this". Cancel culture. Some posters on this thread disagree with me which is entirely their right but want to shut down discussion because it doesn't fit with their world view.
Shame on you. How arrogant to assume your opinion trumps mine.
I can post a link if you force me to but I'd rather you took my word for it. David White RIP.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So, you’re not a new poster then?

I've read it, and it's a sad story. I'm not sure why she had to work at 66 when so unhappy. But the cause, change conditions, two complaints filed, new manager she didn't like could occur in any job. She should have been helped earlier reading the report

Nearly 75% of people in this country, currently claim some sort of benefits, a number that will no doubt increase in the coming months.
The vast majority of those claiming benefits are working.
Over 95% of people in this country, who have claimed housing benefit in the last 2 years, are working, due in no small part to the lack of social and affordable housing being built.
Benefits in the most part are paid to subsidise low pay, a low pay and gig economy that has been encouraged by those in government.
But beyond that, this thread isn't really worth getting involved in, due to the massive levels of ignorance and stupidity contained within it.
So have fun. 🙂

Weird.

You knew to tag the Celtic board-which isn’t that obvious how to do-and to do it on the SPFL board, yet you’re talking about PM’ing your details.

Odd...
