Free School Dinners. Excuse the pun but this lunchtime Beeb seems to be dining out bigtime at the moment and whipping the woke left up into a frothing frenzy. This will run for days now the snowball has been pushed from the top of the hill. Once again totally biased ‘reporting’
Why is it that Boris or one of his ministers doesn’t stand up and say exactly what many are thinking. £21, Child Allowance, or whatever it is called today, per week for the first child and £14 for subsequent sprogs, I understand. That is a pretty good start to their diet.
Last time I checked we were not a third world country and standards of living are still on the increase. What is falling is the inability of a number of parent(s) to prioritise, putting their child’s needs somewhere near the top of the list and who know if they fail, Marcus will come to the rescue. Of course there are some genuine cases, but the question has to be asked, according to some sources, why are there currently 1.5 million children who will go hungry.
The pitiful mew from Boris is something along the lines of ‘We will see no child go hungry this winter’. Why not challenge these woeful parent(s) over their blatant child neglect.
What next ? Free school meals at weekends, maybe tea as well as lunch and perhaps free uniforms and shoes.

Concrete, problem is probably: single mum, at work, several young siblings, say two or three between age of five and thirteen, and teachers and school are expected to be child minders. Some children are now at school for nine or ten hours or more a day, during term time.
Next bit of same problem. Teachers don’t like their work but they do like their holidays and a high proportion of them need their holidays after thirteen weeks of teaching children, some of whom are near feral.
Mum is working in school holidays. No older teens in house to supervise and cook for younger siblings.
What to do?
Problem gets divvied up between private Nursery sector for under fives and Local Authority for older children. The LA has to hire temporary staff who all have the appropriate training & clearances & checks for dealing with children. Freelances who qualify ask for loadsamoney.
But it’s really a stupid situation that Bojo has walked into with his eyes wide shut while looking the other way. His Chancellor is throwing billions every which way and they are skimping on a few extra million quid and being branded as evil, Tory, Nazi, scum for being seen or portrayed as depriving children of food.

Stew, think you are overlooking one of the big lessons of the Pandemic & Lockdown.
Seventy years of Social Security and the Welfare State have created an incredible level of dependency in and among the UK population. I heard qualified Doctors and Nurses saying months ago, on air on BBC R4, “We need the Government to make PPE equipment available to us.” and “We need to be told when to use it and how to use it. We need training.” and “We haven’t had any directions from Government or anyone.”
Now, it is possible they were/are Labour Party shills and in one or two memorable cases this was revealed after the fact. But in some cases it may not have been.
GPs who run practices as businesses (on behalf of the NHS) were expecting to be handed stuff on a plate by a Government Minister. Same again with private Care Homes. When carers were coming in for my elderly mother, they had been given PPE by their business manager who was hired by the Local Authority. This was years ago. But not today, just a lame bleat “We haven’t been given any protection equipment.”
Someone intelligent enough to train and qualify as a doctor or nurse or carer should be able to work out how to use the tools of their trade.

Spot on. The ‘we need training on PPE etc’ by medics etc was pathetic and I work with a lot of these people. Qualification doesn’t always mean intelligent in a broader sense and sometimes not even in a narrow sense.
And agree why is it the responsibility of the Govt to do these things..especially NHS related – It is the responsibility of the bloody NHS management – who seem to get away without any criticism….

Listen to this (43 mins) – MPs and civil servants misunderstand or refuse to understand the EU Defence and Security Procurement Directive, which created the UK law known as the Defence and Security Public Contract Regulations (DSPCR). The UK is keeping this (so far) after transition but it needs changing because it will continue to have deleterious knock-on effects for the UK. We were drawn into this Directive in 2011 but it has since changed and is a bridge to further EU mechanisms. “Integration by stealth”.
David Banks (VfB) says Ben Wallace needs to listen and start looking at the detail – instead of believing advice from the WRONG people – certain people in Whitehall, EU funded trade unions and defence industry pundits who are influenced by defence companies with (often political) vested interests in keeping the UK in the EU.

BBC LIES BY OMISSION!!
More that the lying biased corrupt BBC isn’t showing you:
Every single day Trump is out on the road holding massive rallies across the States, with tens of thousands of wildly enthusiastic supporters showing up at the events, and many more thousands waiting outside in long queues, unable to get in.
Even at short notice, even in the cold and rain of Wisconsin or the sun and heat of Florida, they come from hundreds of miles around and queue for hours on end. They chant We Love You, an unprecedented phenomenon in US politics.
And not just one rally, but 2, 3, 4 per day, while sleepy Joe hides in his basement and makes the odd Skype appearance which he always manages to mess up (yesterday forgetting Trump’s name and calling him George, perhaps confusing him with Bush).
NONE of that will the mendacious beeb show you, preferring to sneer and mock and ‘fact check’ every word and occasional mistake among hours of often improvised talks.
Even the American media hide the truth of his popularity and the huge energy and enthusiasm at those rallies. Nearly every time, Trump points to the cameras of the ‘fake news’ at the back and challenges them to ‘turn those cameras around, show the crowds’. They never do of course, except one small independent company that operates on a shoestring from donations called Right Side Broadcasting. See below for link to past rallies and the current one in Pennsylvania.

Perhaps we could have other categories, like at the Oscars. One could be ‘Mad liberal snowflakes hysterically screaming and crying in their cars’ (there are many such already but we can expect a ton of new ones).
Another category could be for Most Woke Luvvies.
George Looney, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep, Michael Moore and almost the entirety of Hollywood.
Nearer to home, Emma Watson, Emma Thompson, Helen Mirren and 99.99% of our unfunny woke stand-up ‘comics’.
There could be a special category for UK politicians such as Emir Khant (pronounced long a or short a, works both ways) and Bercow Berk (short for Berkeley Hunt in rhyming slang) and of course Jeremy Cor-bin.
Finally, some magical royal glamour could be added by showing the reaction of our very own Prince and Princess of Markel.

I’m not a gambling man, though I might have a flutter on Fulham being relegated. However, I digress…
I’m taking bets on Boris bottling it and giving in to the the free lunch bullies.
I believe that despite his brave words and the fact there is absolutely no need for it, Boris will cave by mid-week and offer free school meals, to all and sundry. He just doesn’t have the gonads to stand up to them.
Our loathsome state broadcaster is running with this like a salivating dog. It’s a nonsensical story, but that’s never stopped them. I’ve heard some hysterical claims… “These kids are starving…” I mean, for Gawd’s sake, have you seen them? We’ve got the most portly generation of youngsters in our nation’s history. Starving they most certainly ain’t!
I’m afraid that I have very little faith in our PM. Boris knows that if he does remain resolute, as he should, they’ll be painting him as some latter day Ebenezer Scrooge and these “starving mites” (cough) as pathetic Tiny Tims’.
You know what I’d say to the bloody BBC…

At the beginning of the epidemic, free school meal vouchers were offered, to be spent in supermarkets (goodness knows what on) to the value of £15 a week. Remember this is for 5 lunches.
Mrs S went to our now-more -distant local butcher last week and spent £63 based on a shopping list which we calculated was for 44 meals. We’re talking good cuts of beef and pork, home made burgers, lean steak mince, and back bacon.
We eat this for our main meal and we regard them as a ‘treat’.
The cost for this meat is under £1.50. Add spuds and veg and there is still change out of £2. A kg of chicken in the supermarket is even cheaper, under £6 and gives 6 portions.
In other words, we do not spend anything like £3 on the main meal of the day for ourselves and we are not remotely slumming it.
Free school meals has nothing tomdomwith feeding children and everything to do with embarrassing the admittedly p***poor government.

The tone the BBC is using to support free food for the feckless is plain bias with lines like ‘PM refuses to move on free food for the feckless “.
I , however, have a solution . Divert the money needed for the starving feckless from BBC funding ….
By the way – I hope once the red Tories collapse and give free food to the feckless it will be energy bills with the ‘I either eat or heat ‘ routine being pumped out by lord footballer ….
Perhaps it’s a clever way of destroying the Labour Party by adopting all those carefree spending other people’s money policies they dream of ….

Stop press.
BBC 6 pm news.
The cost of providing free school meals is ‘only’ £21 million pa.
There are 1.4 million eligible children.
Do the Maths. £3 per meal. The value in the above post holds.
Note how they mask the value per meal.
By the way. A free school meal AT SCHOOL must include not just the food but the catering, cooking, logistics, washing up etc.
Is it beyond the imagination of the woke left including the BBC that ‘disadvantaged’ families could get off their a**** and actually do a bit of cooking? And may be wash up afterwards as well.

What a nice post, bringing back memories.
Dinner tickets were 1s6d in the latish 60s.
I remember them going up to 12p. But they were bought as you went along. So the cheap alternative was peas (or beans) and chips from the chippy for 7p.
But only on a Tues, Wed, or Friday as the chippies were not open every weekday.
But in retrospect the 2 course school dinner with a main and a sweet (something and custard, chocolate concrete was a favourite) was excellent value, even if you had to put up with the bullying of the table monitor who gave himself the biggest portion.
And then came the cafeteria style……..

I remember lining up to buy dinner tickets in strips of five. One day a couple of us noticed that there was another ticket desk and the rolls of tickets on that desk had a letter ‘F’ on them, rather than the ‘D’ (?) on the usual ones.
In the same way as you always tried to get the rare football card we thought this was our chance to get a ‘rare’ dinner ticket. We didn’t know the significance of the ‘F’, we were expecting to pay for them as usual.
The desk was manned by ‘Holy Joe’, our RE teacher, a man with a very friendly face but one whch quickly switched to show ‘the wrath of God’. (We always thought of him as being like the serpent in the Garden of Eden, friendly on the outside and nasty on the inside). He gave us the sharp edge of his forked-tongue.

In the North East there are lots of cafes, restaurants and other food related shops coming on the radio and tv with their giveaways of 100s of food parcels for the starving children.
I wonder if they will end up chucking lots of these food bags in the bin or start sending out search parties to hunt down these ‘starving children’ so that they could give them a big bag of free food. There’s not enough starving children to go around I suspect.
I can picture ‘turf wars’ where one of these starving children (or anyone will probably do if they are a bit peckish) is found and all the competing virtue signallers will be claiming the starving child as one of theirs in their efforts to hand out all their bags.
Once the novelty of making up and distributing these food bags has worn off and the cost of the food, overheads and labour involved appears I would guess much of this will stop.
I suppose getting through blackberry week with as few as possible children dying of starvation will be achieved with all this free food and by then Boris will have given in and will do as he is told by St. Marcus.
They will probably end up going round town at night to give the many unused bags to the rough sleepers and neglected ex servicemen (a good thing if it happens)
That’s until the ‘owt for nowt’ lot start hoovering up and collecting the free stuff.
In my schooldays back in the 60’s I can’t recall any hungry children. We had a lot less money in those days. The children would all be probably classed as having a normal BMI (as used today) although we usually had a ‘fatty’ in each class or year. Now it is probably the other way round.
Also, anyone seen the Amazon advert for Black Friday?

A labour MP who wrote to the BBC Chairman Mark Thompson ( at that time) on my behalf to say that I was justified in my complaint against the foreign editor using language that would incite racial hatred.. He was the only labour MP out of 6 ( all found guilty of financial fraud against government) that served a jail sentence because he was outspoken against the bias of the BBC and other injustices of the estabishment . And he didn’t succeed ! Jeremy Bowen is still foreign editor today 20 years later- But he inspired me and others to carry on following through my complaints ! If more individuals protested than Bowen’s words of hatred would have stopped years ago.

On Radio 5 Dead this morning, they were making light of Sleepy Joe’s obvious dementia, inviting people to phone in if they have ever had a “brain freeze”. Sleepy Joe hasn’t got a brain freeze, the old coot’s senile!
A classic way to see if someone’s brain is working is to ask them the name of the prime minister or president. Sleepy Joe couldn’t even remember the name of the man whose job he wants!
It is embarrassing and shameful. Can you imagine the BBC being so light hearted if Trump were showing such clear signs of mental decline? Of course not, but then again, there are no enemies on the left.

@Fed Saturday’s FooC piece which rather nastily dismissed The murder of the South African white farm boy as “just another crime”
I previously pointed out that Framing of the item was the exact opposite of for George Floyd
FFS the 21 yo kid’s body was bound to a pole and a noose was round his neck and they left his truck nearby
Another funny thing is that the BBC guy published the same thing in the Indy last week.
https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/white-farmers-killing-south-africa-race-politics-b1050659.html
Using similar nasty tone and lines
‘Those white farmers set fire to a police car’
“ what might have been a relatively small incident in a quiet farming town was transformed into a new flashpoint in South Africa’s increasingly fractious and racialised political landscape.”
FFS after what they did to the boy he calls it a a relatively small incident !
Why was Harding so hot on the White Supremacist angle ?
He wrote a book about 2016 incident where “40 white guys beat up black guy”
To me that is actually a very unusual thing and reads like people giving up on the police and doing their own justice.
There is a complication with this murder trial
the DNA doesn’t fit the 2 suspects.
It’s 30 years since I lived there, the white police could be sloppy
whereas the black police were the ones that were vicious against black people.

Stew – I don’t know anything about South Africa apart from it heading to be another basket case as the people who run things properly are cleansed – alive or dead .

In the case you describe – as I said in my comment – the Kate adie preamble mentioned there were over 70 murders a day in SA – implying that the killing of this kid wasn’t that bad .
This goes across all life . Even if you listen to the footy as I do you get a dose .

With a week to go until the US election, President Donald Trump has landed a significant victory – the confirmation of his pick for the Supreme Court. All but one of his fellow Republicans in the Senate backed the appointment of Judge Amy Coney Barrett, defeating Democrats who were fiercely angry at the move so close to a potential change of president.
The Supreme Court is often the final word on highly contentious laws and Justice Barrett’s appointment cements a 6-3 conservative majority. Previous rulings and writings by her have led some to fear for the future of abortion rights and the Affordable Care Act – healthcare reforms introduced by President Obama. She, though, insisted, she would be independent from Congress, the president and “the private beliefs that might otherwise move her”. Read more on ACB and why America’s top court is so much more political than the UK’s.
All our coverage of the US election is gathered here. Among the latest stories, we ask whether Florida is (again) key to the result, and why postal voting has been so controversial. Get a really simple guide to the whole thing too.

“London, UK, October 22, 2020 — The knock-on effects of COVID-19 have led to a global food insecurity crisis, with 265 million people projected to experience life-threatening levels of hunger this year alone. Meanwhile, movement restrictions and other safety measures put into place to combat the virus, coupled with fears of contracting COVID-19, have made health and nutrition services less accessible to families. This is especially troubling among the most vulnerable. An analysis carried out by the International Rescue Committee (IRC) found an alarming drop in the number of people arriving at nutrition clinics at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic compared to 2019.”

Ms Fake was shocked when I suggested this outcome to her when we were watching the news yesterday, saying: “Surely these are criminals?”
I had to chuckle. She seems unaware that ‘claiming your yooman rites’, as you see them, trumps criminal behaviour of any kind these days.
Plenty of lawyers active in that field will already have been sniffing the air to determine whether there might be a rather attractive income stream awaiting them here, I suspect.
Meanwhile, Priti is ‘understood to be looking at’ curtailing article 3 of the relevant Act, that allows hijackers to claim asylum.

AISI hopefully is busy composing his review of the newspaper front pages, c/o the BBC web-site. I shall have the temerity to concentrate on the front page art or artful deceit of the newspapers, instead.
The Times wins ‘Pic of the Day’ with a photo of two attractively and apparently slim young school pupils – half length and in profile – helping each other to what appears to be a packed lunch. I wonder what was really in the paper bags? I do note a slight paunch – hopefully not signs of an early pregnancy (the nation can’t afford another mouth to feed) – skillfully hidden by the photographer.
The Daily Star really hates the Prime Minister, SoS for Health, Matt Hancock and Dominic Cummings. They are frequently lampooned, individually or sometimes together, by the Star’s ace graphics compositor. It demonstrates what a bitter, twisted, Socialist rag that it is, constantly trying to outdo the bitter Socialist Mirror in bile. No wonder it is said to be the favourite (news)paper of the BBC’s JustRemainIn Webb, presenter on the TOADY Programme.
Another BBC presenter is in a spot of bother and I cannot help but wonder if Victoria Derbyshire will be happy to look at either of her portrayals on the Daily Telegraph and The Guardian respectively.
In one the need for a little lip filler is rather apparent although turning the lights down half-an-f-stop or different lighting set-up could and would have helped. The Guardian photographer was probably having to work without an assistant due to the Pandemic. In the other, a crop to half-length might have eased VD’s pain if not necessarily that of the viewer.
Ageing incredibly graciously and beautifully on the front page of the Daily Express is HM, the Queen. Constantly reliable and dependable, both as a photographers subject and giving a very subtle lead to the nation, with the caption: ‘Queen to miss out on Christmas tradition’. God bless and keep you, your Majesty.
From the grace and beauty of our Monarch we move to the clumsiness and PR incompetence of her First Lord of the Treasury on the Daily Mirror front page. The PM continues to be an accident
waiting to happenhappening everywhere and Dominic Cummings – if he set that up – really ought to be fired today. If he didn’t, then he is probably tearing out what little hair he has left in sheer rage and frustration at the choices of his brainless boss.15 likes

Niche lefty tabloid the ‘i’ this morning combines Guardian journalism with Daily Express subject matter: ‘Yasmin Alibhai-Brown on Princess Diana’
Meanwhile The Telegraph ponders: ‘Anatomy of a scandal. Would Frank Bough have been fired today?’ – there’s one for the teenagers. Quick “Cliffs Notes” on old Frank. He was a rather proper-looking old school suit and tie or brass-buttoned blazer-type BBC sports presenter who was ditched by the BBC in 1988 after tabloid revelations that he snorted coke and donned female lingerie as he partied with prostitutes. Making him something of an unlikely cult hero.
More to the point, will the transgressive of norms Victoria Derbyshire be fired by the BBC, we wonder? ‘Derbyshire: We’ll break rule of six at Christmas’ (Telegraph); ‘Why I’ll break covid rules this Christmas’ (Guardian). I’m guessing a contrite ever-so sincere apology will suffice. And then she can soon get back on message with the BBC keeping us all in line.
‘Support for populism waning in Europe’ brags the Guardian. This according to a YouGov poll. Do Pandemic sceptics and conspiracists begin to whisper we told you so?
‘Immunity only lasts a few months, study finds… Covid vaccine may be needed twice a year’ (Telegraph)
Just like the Great War, which we’re not about to remember properly on 11th November this year for the first time, they’re telling us it won’t all be over by Christmas.
The Daily Express asks: ‘The art of doing nothing could you master the stress-busting trend?’
‘There is water on the Moon, Nasa confirms’ (Telegraph) – but can you get a drink in a pub after 10 o’clock? And what’s the rule on quarantine when you fly home?
On the same front page William Hague explains: ‘Free school meals are the first skirmish in a political war’ – ten out of ten for observation William. What a sage old statesman.
The Mail worries that: ‘Boris hit by red wall MPs revolt’
The Star calls Boris: ‘You great pudding. Eatin’ Mess. Etonian Bozo STILL won’t help poor kids’
‘Can’t you feed the nation’s hungry kids, too? demands the Metro.
As the freebie paper’s front page advertises Costa Coffee’s promotion of ‘five famous festive flavours’ – yum yum. New latte flavours will include Terry’s Chocolate Orange… Quality Street, the Purple One… and After Eight.

I spent an hour on YouTube, last night, watching President Trump’s rally (one of four, that day), in Pennsylvania. They love him. And rightly so – a magnificent showman, and a positive, America loving giant of a man. Compared to the wisp of straw which opposes him (on behalf of other, more sinister interests), his stature is Emperor-like. He MUST win this election. The effort should be worth all the input, at the very least.
This morning, Listening to “Gold” Radio (part of the Global network), for a change, the first things I heard were ads, one of which was warning about the coming Brexit, and advising us to be prepared for change (although it neglected to say what change, and when…), another was warning us all about Covid, and behaving ourselves, and the third was from Khan, the London midget, telling us all about his extension to the “Super” emission scheme, and its extension north, south, east and west.
After the euphoria of Trump’s crowds in America last night, and the promise of great things to come, what a depressing, doom-ridden, dismal start to a grey day from the Former UK this morning.
Has nobody in Britain got any guts, to wrest government away from the cretins currently running the show? We desperately need someone like Trump, and even more desperately need to be shot of the EU. Over four years since the people elected to leave, the government are still fannying around with fools who don’t want to let us go at all, let alone incompletely. And Doris dithers, faffs, and prolongs the agony.

OG, ‘we’ (I use the term advisedly as I didn’t have a say in the matter) knew what were getting with ‘Doris’. We had had plenty of warning from his past Editors, from two terms as Mayor of London, the Olympic Games and from the EU Referendum Campaign (led and really won by one or two women, I would point out) and then, finally, his failed leadership bid in summer 2016. Then came a complete failure in the job as Foreign Secretary.
We cannot say we were not warned!
And all that was followed by a campaign (maybe not as noisy as in the US with candidate Trump and now President Trump) but that was even more successful. Eighty seats!
‘Doris’ (I prefer Bojo as epithets go) requires extreme and very careful managing.
