This place is not a place of honor… no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here.
This £30 #FreeSchoolMeals thing is awful. Even if I was worried about low income families not spending it on food (I'm not), how does this stop them?
Even if these boxes really contained £30 of food, that's £30 saved from your regular shop. You can spend the saving how you want.
We used to get WIC support for our foster kids in the USA and that's the same deal. Big proscriptive list of things you can buy and a humiliating check-out procedure because you can't be seen to just give poor people money even though it would be cheaper to run and more effective
But that's Conservatives all over. Because some small minority might spend their "school meal" money on scratch cards, you invent a massive punitive scheme to stop them, even though it's completely ineffective.
If you want to help people, give them money. They'll figure it out.
There are actual studies.
Nobody told me pre-orders also pre-download onto Switches. Only 7 days of constant demands of "is it ready yet?" from Hunter to look forward to.
Thanks @niinegames 🤣
