    Brilliant comment on TalkRadio yesterday. After the news we will be talking about the leader of the opposition, Marcus Rashford. Made me laugh

    I would urge everybody to tune in to Talk Radio, the station of common sense, pulls no punches ,totally anti-woke, especially Mike Graham or Ian Collins...if not got DAB, streams live on YouTube..

    It's being handled on behalf of the Govt by a subsidiary of Compass, one of the largest companies in the world providing food services, hospitality etc to both the public sector - schools, hospitals etc - and the private sector - in-house catering, sports grounds, outdoor events etc. That have enormous expertise in these areas and there's no reason why they should provide a second or third rate service to those who do need the food boxes.

    Gavin Willamson has just announced that the Govt is now scrapping the food box system becuase of the poor quality of the service. They're returning to providing the families who need them with food vouchers to be used in the supermarkets.

    Some of the photos of those boxes would have been laughable if they weren't true. Look upon this way, the pandemic is just another great business opportunity, just look at how mask prices went through the roof for something apparently crucial in controlling the spread of the virus. To me its just another example of the scoiety we live in. Remember the money raised for Grenfell, or the furlough scheme to aid those suffering from loss of work during the pandemic? Where fraudulent claims for a handout were by by the bucketload? Well these 'food boxes' are just the same, fraud of public taxes or money meant to help others. It frustrates you but you won't ever stop it.

    Thought currently it was done by a school by school basis depending on their catering contractor, so some by Compass and some by others which is why different schools are doing different things. Some schools parents have had to collect things daily etc

    Unfortunately doesn't matter who's in charge, although the Tories do take it to another level. Just vote for who's less corrupt I guess.
