So these people eat food and do not feed their kids , how is that possible ?Comment

Maybe it would be less galling if there was some compassion, and the people saying the government are doing the right thing and all people who require help are just useless scroungers - maybe they should think about why the government thought that "Eat Out To Help Out" is a better use of funds that "feeding children"
Or that giving millions away on PPE schemes to your mates is perfectly OK, but not feeding children as that encourages something worse than giving benefits handouts to millionaires like Dido Harding and co.
It's a slippery slope, as soon as you start helping people who genuinely need help, you don't have enough money to give to your friends.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Anyway this is what levels of benefits you need to be on to get free school meals - Apply for free school meals - GOV.UK
You are screwed if you are in a place with expensive rent costs e.g. London, SE, SW and not in social housing on less than £16,190"You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
