If people think tories can be trusted with our welfare (I know they can't but are and have been) , parents can be trusted with bloody food vouchers " This! The problem is Tory MPs and most of the general public demonising low earners and people on welfare so we're led to believe that they'll waste any support they're given. The reality is the support is ultimately wasted anyway and the excess is kept in the pockets of companies enjoying free money, courtesy of the taxpayer. The thing we forget is that we have given this government the mandate to do things like this and then act all outraged when it happens. Truth is our opinions have pushed for this so we are also responsible. | |||

"Surely the easiest, most efficient route is to give food vouchers, £30 every 2 weeks or £60 every 4 and let people shop and choose themselves.

People buy into that BS which means families suffer. "The national voucher scheme will be operating again, from next week. Initially the food parcels were the preferred method of delivering lunches for a number of reasons, however where the school catering teams or food suppliers indicated they were unable to provide food parcels, the school could opt to provide local supermarket vouchers. | |||

"Misplaced anger from a lot of people here the government just hands the money out the local council decide in what form it is distributed , our local school hands out asda vouchers Who decides which company gets the contract? The school or the local authority Why have the gmnt resolved to look into the issue ,if the school have them the contract? Because the extra funding they are providing to schools is being wasted Vicky Ford from The gmnt is speaking to the company directly? So surely they are ultimately responsible?" The government - DofE - hasn't contracted Chartwells to provide school lunches. They do provide the funding to schools, which appears to being abused by this particular provider, and consequently the DofE have acted to make sure they are banged to rights . To think the government has chosen this provider is wrong. Local councils and in most cases, schools themselves decide on how they provide school meals within their school buildings - this isn't new or something temporary during lockdown. You do know the specific information and guidance on school meal provision is laid out at gov.uk. | |||

"Surely the easiest, most efficient route is to give food vouchers, £30 every 2 weeks or £60 every 4 and let people shop and choose themselves. These food packages are not acceptable and the profit margin should be removed. This isole the Tory’s have dug for themselves and they should stop digging. It isn’t just embarrassing, it harms people What happens when the monies been spent in the first week.....send em some more ?? "You know it's limited right? | |||

I'm sure that it's completely coincidental that a major donor to the gmnt, has become the biggest supplier of children's dinners in the country over the last 25 years. Pure circumstance. | |||

You haven't read the guidance and procurement info on gov.uk on how schools provide and buy the catering for their school have you... Probslly quite a few Does that not count then? No I must confess I havent. Ive been trying to find out why the gmnt has outsourced it..can you point me in the right direction? Do you know how public procurement works? I'm not a expert. Hence my questions. I would have thought there is a tendering process,a head of dept makes a recommendation and the minister makes the final decision. For services such as school meals, there is a National framework which will include a centralised tendering exercise. Several suppliers will make it onto the National framework. Local authorities are then able to choose which supplier they wish to work with. I’d be very surprised if such a contract got anywhere near a government minister. The idea of central purchasing is to save costs as otherwise every local authority would have to go through its own tendering process. Right..so again..its just a coincidence this particular company has made significant contributions to the gmnt? If it’s been a government supplier for 25 years, it obviously supplied under the last Labour government. I wonder if it made any political donations then? Well it has the market share now..and I'm guessing when it began,it didnt .but that didn't really answer my question? So would that be a yes then? A yes to what? If they donated to labour..they may have done..what does it matter?unless its escaped your notice labour havent been onin power for 10 years, so its completely irrelevant. I'm assuming you are saying it's not a coincidence as you have twice refused to answer the question? I’m just asking what the difference is between donating to the Labour Party and the Conservative party, if they did? It hasn’t escaped my notice that Labour haven’t been in power for 10 years but they were obviously in power for 13 years in which time the company was a government supplier. You seen to be making the incorrect assumption that I wouldn't be asking such questions if labour were in power? But they arent. The issue is what's happening today,not 15 years ago. Right, so it's been established it's not a coincidence they have links to the gmnt. Why are the gmnt taking responsibility if they had no influence in the process? Because it’s a national framework which obviously has very public problems, hence the government stepping in." Hence its their responsibility? | |||

Still like you say they have joined rashfords charity,a mere 5 months after it was set up. So I'm sure the issue was just a one off. Like last time. DofE are not responsible for catering provision in school buildings - so there isn't any "outsourcing" - there is lots of primary source information out there which explains how school catering is organised and managed by local authorities and schools. If you choose not to read it, that's up to you. Rashford set up his task force organisation in September, Chartwells were welcomed on-board by Rashford as a partner at the beginning of December. I'm sure being a partner with Rashford has made the shaming of some of their lunch packages all the more embarrassing for them. Well I'm sure they will make sure it wont happen again. ... and authorities/schools will perhaps reconsider who they use for their catering when contracts come up for renewal" Did the gmnt say that yesterday? | |||

"Yes something needs doing but I’ve not heard St Marcus offering to pay more & he can afford to on his £13 million plus per year, most of us would have to work over 500 years to earn what he does in a year. So that leaves us people, how much more tax are you willing to pay? There is nothing for free unless your not the one paying for it & then you have to ask at what price is this something for free, the irony is it’s the children of the children that will pay for this because like everything else at the moment the government are borrowing money to pay for covid & a hell of a lot of debt is still from the last labour government bailing out the banks, this current Tory borrowing is being spent on far more people than the when labour gave it all to the bankers. xx Why do you think Marcus Rashford should pay to feed other people's children ? That's ridiculous! Apparently setting up a charity,helping out and contributing himself is not sufficient. " he will get a tax break for charity donations, he’s plenty of time to help out, try helping out after a 45 hrs week of hard physical work not 10 hours playing a week, that’s what I do personally in normal circumstances, & I don’t say quick everyone look at me ffs get real he’s a celeb & like them all, to much time to much money to many praising a normal act of kindness because he’s got his PR team working on it. If he was doing it all the time the cameras would be there all the time, how many times has he helped out? A PR job well done by his agents lol. If he wanted to do something serious about it he’d give half his wage to feed the kids & the government would give the tax to the charity if it was done via gift aid. & that would still leave the guy with 280 times the average UK salary xx | |||

" So another five to ten families have to suffer because of your "real life experience?" I understand your frustrations as children are the ones to suffer but it's this demonization of people which has led to the food parcels scandal. It's funny what "real life experiences" the government pays attention to: the parents paying for booze and fags or the parents deciding whether to get food or pay their energy bills and rent. Both are real yet the narrative that take centre stage is the former. So parents can't be trusted with these decisions but private companies putting together these pitiful packages can...and the rest is history. Marcus Rashford's childhood was an example of this which is why he's so passionate now. The government hate this because it's not just a high profile sports personality but the experiences created by austerity that come back to bite them in the arse. | |||

"The free meals scheme is not being extended over half term. The issue is just not going away." During the February half term local councils will provide free meals. Free school lunches will continue after half term, while in lockdown and schools not fully open. A third option for schools - national food vouchers, is also being made available again from 18th January. | |||

If you are implying this is not a story perhaps try contacting bbc and tell them to take it off their website. The facts are from the news report. I'm not implying there is anything fake about this story.... there is provision for children to receive free lunches up to, during and after half term in February. You agree? I'd say the issue was not that clear cut.If it was..I doubt the bbc would not be featuring it on their website. You seem to be quite eager to down play the story for some reason.. and absolve the gmnt of any responsibility whatsoever. Which seems quite strange as the story has received huge publicity and boris has been asked about it in parliament. But like you said..the children are getting fed and everything else is irrelevant . I'm not playing down anything - if anything I have added to your meagre representation of the story. Everything else is irrelevant when the main point is, children are receiving lunches before, during and after - that's all that is important here. Poverty,inequality, kids going hungry,cronyism,..irrelevant. Gotcha. Sorry no - you don't get to put words in my mouth - it's very clear what I stated - the important part of all this story is children ARE continuing to receive lunches. That's clear in my last paragraph! If you're going to use childish replies, at least do it when you haven't made up the “gotcha” in your own head. Everything else Is irrelevant Your exact words I've made nothing up. Show me where I've said “ Poverty,inequality, kids going hungry,cronyism,.” are irrelevant... Where ? " I'll try again Everything else Is irrelevant What does the word everything mean to you exactly? I claimed above that this was big story linking in with a host of other issues, but you were quite keen on shutting everything down by saying..will the children be fed or not...which you have repeated twice now. At least be honest. | |||

"Yes something needs doing but I’ve not heard St Marcus offering to pay more & he can afford to on his £13 million plus per year, most of us would have to work over 500 years to earn what he does in a year. So that leaves us people, how much more tax are you willing to pay? There is nothing for free unless your not the one paying for it & then you have to ask at what price is this something for free, the irony is it’s the children of the children that will pay for this because like everything else at the moment the government are borrowing money to pay for covid & a hell of a lot of debt is still from the last labour government bailing out the banks, this current Tory borrowing is being spent on far more people than the when labour gave it all to the bankers. xx Why do you think Marcus Rashford should pay to feed other people's children ? That's ridiculous! Apparently setting up a charity,helping out and contributing himself is not sufficient. It should be the government not a footballer feeding the needy. It should be parents feeding their children - parents unable to do this must be able to access support so they are able to do so. I would of thought saying needy that you would understand what i meant. Of course parents should be feeding their own children but that's not the subject we are discussing. ...which is why i said it is the parents who should feed their children, with support being provided by the government if they are unable to. I just think there is an important distinction between a government being expected to feed a child, and the government providing the required support to enable a parent themselves to feed their child. Remind me again why millions of parents are struggling under this tory government to feed there children, must be some genuine reasons surely why theres food banks all over the country.... Are they really all in poverty because of a Tory government, you either walk round with your eyes shut, & fingers in your ears, or are so consumed by your hate of the torys that you blame them for everything. You mustn’t have walked on a council estate on a summer afternoon & seen the parents outside drinking cans & a heavy smell of skunk as you walk by after finishing your 12 hour shift. No I know it’s not all but I know plenty that do put themselves before their kids. If they made a meal for their kids instead of buying junk food from a take away or ready meal that would help them spread their money. & yes we do live on a council estate & that is what it’s like in real life, & our real life experience. " I've walked through many council estates on a summer's evening, I just notice fine british people having barbecues. The problem with your lazy analysis is that poverty is not just a council estate problem its spread to middle class kids now as well under the Tories and now they have pulled us out of the worlds biggest free trade group we're going to be even poorer. | |||
