A reminder that UK austerity policies have killed 300,000+ people since 2010.
In Oliver Twist, the workhouses abuse the children in their care by not giving them enough food. Now we’ve somehow crossed even that line.
Then: “Please sir, can I have some more?” - says the starving child to the rations dealer
Now: “Please sir, can I have some more?” says the billionaire to the working class after giving themselves raises via inflation, rent hikes, and subsidies, which are STILL not enough for them.
Now: “Please sir, can I have some
more?” - says the starving child to the UK school
All lunch-ladies have the right to give food to whomever they want. They are out here feeding other people’s kids, they should be the only factor on what a kid gets to eat, not the market. Feed the damn kids man! It shouldn’t even be a question we are asking.
Like just feed the kid - they aren’t sacking you for it if you don’t tell anyone
Exactly man! It’s not exactly one-to-one but when i used to work retail, I’d keep coupons behind the counter if people asked “You got any coupons? That’s a bit expesnive” and if they weren’t a dick I’d hook 'em up. The eternal cosmic law of the hook up ought to supersede the laws of man.
When I was in school, not in the UK, it was some admin person who charged our account before we even got in the lunch line.
That’s bleak as hell
the cafeteria ought to be a DOTLL (dictatorship of the lunch ladies)
this happened to me all the time in the usa as a kid i was very forgetful and forgot my money all the time. might be why I’m so small lol
unhinged society
Look I get why they do this but doesn’t it strike us all as insane how easily these systems get you to conform to doing something fundamentally inhumane as denying food to starving kids?
I doubt this person even tested the limits of the rules. Most don’t. It’s just confirming to the evil for free.

What like conjuring up more food than whatever serco delivered for the day?
idk how the UK is but when i was in school there was always excess food prepared and if kids were too poor to eat it’s because the federal government has not been shamed into feeding them not because the food wasn’t in the building.
I thought this was only an American thing.
The UK is pretty much America-Lite
Basically. At least England wants to be the unofficial 51st state so badly.
At least Canada has Quebec to put some limits on anglo nonsense.
Yeah, I know of people that I used to work are incredibly pro-Trump, as if they think that they can vote for him.

she was just following orders
