stop Hot Meals in Schools
serve the Kids Sandwiches and Fruit.

And Turn off all the Vending Machines

In order to Cut their Energy Bills

A sandwich is fine. That's what I usually had when I was going to school.

Some like a Hot Meal, though


But in order to Cut the Gas /Electric Bills
Maybe its fair enough for a while

Doesn't really work for low-income children. Their school meal may be the only hot meal they get in a day, especially with the increasing financial constraints being placed on already stretched parents.

Starving kids, and freezing pensioners is the biggest indictment on a government you repeatedly cheer on, especially the cruelty.

Yes, make those schools Exempt



And Pensioners can pop off to the Library to keep warm
9AM to 4PM


No Cruelty, Slim.

the biggest issue is going to be with the elderly. They are very vulnerable and many are too proud to look or ask for assistance. It could be carnage if its a cold winter

What if they are housebound?

you do realise that many pensioners are housebound Arista?

Some guy rang in yesterday who lives in Hungary their government said they were not paying and prices are the same as a year ago but then they are a Russian friendly country

a lot of eastern european countries will likely have the same system they have in Russia, where central heating is provided at a central hub and the hot water for the radiators is then pumped out to all the apartment blocks

Most schools have a split in free-meal and no free-meal recipients, so the exemption would basically apply to all state run schools, making the original suggestion completely useless.

Tories have spent 12 years closing libraries and other essential community services in the name of austerity driven debt reduction, whilst at the same time as more than doubling the debt (before the pandemic). Even if all pensioners were mobile and active (they aren't), there is no way all of them are within reach of a library. On top of that, they shouldn't be forced to leave their houses for basic rights.

"Tories have spent 12 years closing libraries"


Yes those Pensioners
in the zones with No Library
can pop off to a Council Owned Warm Center

Correct!

Yes for those
that are housebound
more layers of clothing, for them.

Again, Arista, why do people have to work around your government to get the things that should be provided? The basic job of government is to take care of, and protect the citizenry. Why do you continually swap this basic requirement, as long as they are cruel to the same people you hate?

thats not a solution. An unheated house becomes damp very quickly in winter which is a killer in itself. Water pipes will burst, lights will blow

Exactly - damp and mould are killers in winter, not just temperature.

Yes they need their homes
made safe

Free of Charge

Also
Post out Free LED Torches for some Old Folk
with a USB charger cable.

And Portable Power Bank
that others can charge up for them

There you go, Ethel, warm yourself up with a torch :laugh:

No Slim
thats an Old type torch

They will Brighter LED Torches


They are for if their lights blow
not for keeping warm

we could have local bonfires of the vanities, that would be cool

My bad. For a minute it sounded like a ridiculous suggestion, but now you've said it's a different *checks notes torch, then suddenly it all falls into place and makes sense now :laugh:

It's a good way to get people back into the office ....
