No, this is what *some* feckless, drug-addled, hungover, good for nothing, lazy-arse parents mean for these kids. Most parents on low incomes or benefits do a wonderful job of caring for their children.https://twitter.com/angelarayner/status/980719457420050432 …

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?

Do you find food banks heartwarming, like Rees Mogg?

No. I agree with Mogg on very little apart from Brexit

Julia, I was hoping you’d point out that Rees-Mogg is being misquoted. What he finds “uplifting” (not “heartwarming”) is the kindness of others who are willing to help by donating, not the actual use of food banks.
