I'm all for kids being fed. I'm not fecking heartless. Once coronavirus is behind us do you believe school children should maintain being fed during the school holidays ? If yes then why did you not highlight their plight last year and the year before because as you say there was child poverty last year. Typical view of a leftie about assets. Because people work hard in life and better themselves, save money buy a house etc what is so wrong with that.why are you so offended by people who better themselves in life. How many people from the left on this forum own their own house ? Is that not an asset. What a comment to come out with that it's good the older conservative voters with assets are snuffing it. My God and you talk about me. Unreal. You just take the usual view of people from the left " because I grew up with nothing I can't have anything in the future because it might mean hard work" You seriously believe that social mobility was easier under Maggie Thatcher than today ? Were you working in the UK under Thatcher? Sorry but some of your views are bizarre to say the least. It’s precisely because I’m relatively well off these days that I do care that those less fortunate , get a hand up . As a child growing up I didn’t struggle , then as a young man went through some hard times . Life is pretty good now . But I’ve never forgotten those times when i didn’t have enough money to buy a meal at certain times . I really can’t understand how those who have begrudge those that have not .... for what ever reasons. It’s the ability to turn a blind eye to all the millions & billions wasted , squandered and syphoned off it to grubby hands to mates or mates of mates I’ll never understand. Yet when those less fortunate need a dole out , it’s classed as unnecessary, wasteful etc You’ve gotta be a real expletive to think that way Respect to you. We need more people like you who have done alright and want to give a hand up to the next generation so they can have the same opportunities. It almost brings me to tears to think of the good people in this country who can’t achieve their potential because they have sod all and yet the people with the means to do some real good towards changing that are obsessed with the pennies lost on the welfare system yet they never breathe a word about the millions literally robbed from the public purse. I don’t know how we will ever get through to these people either. |

I don’t know how we will ever get through to these people either. Good to know there are people out there who truely care. On a separate related note though, charity is bit of a trap, you donate a tenner, dedicate something you've done to charity, and it makes you feel good, like you have absolved yourself. In reality, the problem isn't fixed, it just continues. Real change has to be done on a huge level. A lot of people obviously aren't prepared for that, so the problem won't be sorted, just used as a political football. |

Those cuddly, caring conservatives eh? www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/politics/shipley-mp-philip-davies-defends-calling-16-year-old-girl-intolerant-virtue-signaller-email-3014048“I appreciate that virtue signalling is in vogue, but I am afraid that I take the rather old fashioned view that parents should be primarily responsible for feeding their children rather than the state.” It’s a pity he doesn’t feel just as strongly about the fact that the tax payer is partly responsible for feeding his fat ****ing face. How dare he lecture people about paying their way when him and his ilk avail themselves of subsidised food and bend the rules so their personal amenities in the commons are not subject to the same regulations as everywhere else. Hypocritical bastards the lot of them. |

Hypocritical bastards the lot of them. He could have said his point and left it there couldn't he but he had to also add an insult in there too about virtue signalling. We have heard from one of our very own on this forum tonight who had to use help for food. Its the kids of people like that we are talking about. How do you end up like this? Bitter and angry and completely void of compassion. Its just sad. |

www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-54725758“B-b-b-b but the left don’t like scrutiny” Considering they were so proud of their 52% you would think Brexiteers would *want* to prove that it was a free and fair election especially seeing as they have nothing to lose. They must obviously not like scrutiny....

The group is led by Lord Strasburger, which is clear evidence the group is an EU funded Trojan Horse to undermine the Brexit vote and make us retain our subservience to the greater good. This parody stuff is easy. 😎 |

I wouldn't deny some things go on, but the headline is a little misleading compared with the article itself. What training and equipment? The article states some training and the equipment being radios. The initial denial isn't a good look though. |

The UK has quite frankly a disgraceful record in selling equipment to very oppressive regimes. |
