///I really don't think you can put a price on knowing that all OUR children are getting at least one meal per day///
Interesting, the use of the word 'our' if there're yours, fine, put your hand in your pocket and pay for them, as I did with mine years ago, don't come to me, via my taxes, with a begging bowl!
I will do Baldric and gladly, im sure i can spare the nth penny it'll cost me.
I really can't believe that people are quibbling over what will probably amount to pennies increase in their taxes to ensure all our children, yes our- of our country, are fed at least one meal per day. I didn't realise people were that petty, mean and callous.

Yes Woofy, but it appears that some of that money is not being made to provide a lunch for some children.
All im saying is that we can say X,Y, Z is given to provide for hard up families, but children are still going hungry. I'd rather feed those kids 1st then leave it to those qualified to find out why they're not being fed by their parents/caregivers.
I might be being soft, but I just can't abide the thought that in this day and age in our country kids are hungry.

It's not the pennies it's the principle of allowing one group to pass the consequences of their personal life decisions and subsequent responsibilities on to the rest. I don't believe for a moment that it would save even one life. The welfare state already exists as a safety net. Kids still get missed when something is 'up' because no system is perfect, and if one is going to get abused they are likely to find themselves in that situation anyway. This is all excuses for getting the public to fund someone else's kids. It's wrong, and hopefully it'll ensure those responsible never get into power again. That said I think the same thing ought to be the case for all the damned political parties we have. Not worth half a light between them. Each and every one of them inflict a series of wrong decisions on the rest of us whenever they can. Then the next lot leave them and add a bunch of their own.
I have some sympathy with Baldrics point of view. I don't mind my taxes going to support those who are in difficulty and on the breadline .The welfare system is there as a safety net and I would never begrudge a child a meal What I do begrudge though is the "all ".
I'm sure the yummie mummies in their chelsea tractors can afford to feed their children without the taxpayer having to stump up.
It's a non starter though really and not worth getting het up about .Clegg has promised this as a vote catcher .He'd sell his soul to the devil to stay in government .
