It's who we are, and who we'll always be unfortunately.


No in December 2019

Blame China

What did I just say about accepting cruelty, as long as there is a bogeyman to blame?

Your post above 100% proves my point bang on. The crazy thing, is that you keep updating you bogeymen threads everyday without any self awareness.

Exactly, the folk devil has long been a devisive tool of social control, make people fear something as a threat to their family or job and they'll agree with any measures imposed to
Without question.

We needed more Mc Cains, tories who understood the implications of this vote to rebel that would send a message as to how harsh this is.
We need a famous u turn, who knows it may happen?

Does it really matter where the food comes from ? as long as these kids are fed ,besides it saves all the food waste in this country, so much food is surplus why not give it those that need it?

Could you imagine the press if the food is Michelin star quality.

It does, actually, because the most basic duty of a government is to protect it's citizens, not starve them unless local businesses and charities pick up the slack. The government today have awarded another PPE contract worth hundreds of millions, to a Miami fashion accessory designer.


The Slim Reaper 23-10-2020 12:46 PM

So here's another example. The good law project had to take the issue to court, in order to force the government to collect £1.5 billion in VAT from Uber. These are the people the government are trying to protect, whist kids go hungry.

Hopefully it'd be saying "lucky them!" That's a phrase not often associated with the disadvantaged.

Oh hell no :laugh: if anything he put kids off healthy eating in my opinion. We can’t let this generation suffer through the **** school meals he provided back in the 00’s. That ‘Pasta King’ ****e we got served back in school was foul.

Comics they may be but at it seems they're the most reliable (widely circulated) news source we have. :/

If local communities come together like they used to then this can be covered and also build moral in the communities to come together to beat this virus..

A good decision and hopefully a wise one
