25 October - No logic. No heart

I’m not absolutely sure of the logic behind providing free school meals for the children of poor families but I suppose it prevents feckless parents spending increased benefits on the proverbial fags and large tellies. However given the widespread acceptance of providing free meals I struggle to see any logic in not doing so at half-term - especially so while the poor will have been made even poorer by the panic over a bug that has risen to be our 20th biggest killer.

Logic however seems to be a quality totally lacking from all political thought at the present time.

I have no idea how free half-term meals can be provided. I suspect things have changed since a green Comma van used to deliver luke-warm mashed potato in stainless steel tins to my school in 1950.

Caring Bexley Not caring Bexley

Bexley… meanest (and close to being the highest taxing) borough in London. It was the same skin flint response to the lockdown parking problems too.
