Think this story is about hungry children, not their parents. I don’t think you’re suggesting that children should suffer from the sins of their parents are you?
No, I’m saying they DO suffer from the sins of their parents. No one is saying they SHOULD, are they?
If we have the interest of the children at heart, it’s not really helpful to offer up the straw man of “feckless parents”.
Perhaps a visit to your local food bank (I’m sure there’s one near you) would put things in perspective a bit, or to temporary accommodation for homeless families to see how some have to live. But that wouldn’t fit your narrative would it?
I have plenty of first hand knowledge, thanks.
Ho ho ho. First hand knowledge. As if. #neverbelieveatory
Spent time at a food bank, spoken at length with dozens of people using food banks and working at them, with staff who hand out the vouchers, teachers with pupils on breadline, social workers & police dealing with these families. Is that enough for you?
Oh, and I’m not a Tory.
Low incomes cause people to eat badly. It's like drugs. It's short term pleasure to block out the reality of life. Privileged people don't get this but they sure will comment.
These kids aren’t eating poor quality food, they’re lucky to get food at home at all. Their parents don’t care about them. That’s the problem.
At times you are pure Evil Julia. This is one of those times. You use your powerful position to stamp on the poor, stick their faces further into the shit and encourage people to ridicule them. From your Cambridge background and your suburban life you've no idea.
You obviously know absolutely nothing about this subject. Oh, and I went to Oxford and I’ve never lived in suburbia. But you managed to send a nasty abusive tweet so I guess you’re happy with your work. Well done you!
I don't see where this is getting us. Exploring reasons around materialism , how mental health impacts on choices - how massive income gaps impact on mental health. How junk food gives people short happy fixes. More interesting. Punching down... not so.
Myself and most of my friends are on low incomes, but our kids are being brought up properly. The government, through child and working tax credit for low earners, is hardly stingy. If your child has grey skin and is hungry, it's because you are not spending THEIR money on them.
I’m yet to see a grey child. Where are they? My kids would always come first.
Not sure whether someone with a drug problem is feckless, nor what that does to harden your heart to children, nor what enables you to judge them as good for nothing? All just more aggressive rhetoric that enables anger and lack of mercy.
Being a drug addict and being a good parent are mutually exclusive. Full stop.
So let the kids suffer!
Who argued for that?
Kids are starving and instead of trying to get something done, you blame feckless parents, that aren’t even talked about in the bbc article.
If my kids are bad or starving I blame myself as the parent, they are the ones responsible for providing for “their” kids no one else. God that is the problem with the world today, everyone expects someone else to provide for them and their family.
Especially when they have the children to get more benefits but don't want to spend the money on the children and know others will take pity on them. Should take the children for adoption and stop the benefits.
Are you actually that angry or is this a twitter thing? I really don’t think your getting the point of the bloke Easter is all about?
