Blackbriar 8,569 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Another example of the consequences of mean-spirited coalition penny-pinching. (Sorry, I meant to say 'austerity measures, vital in reducing the budget deficit'). An utterly disgusting measure, but one which surprised me, as I thought they'd gone the way of school milk many years ago !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,780 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 If they're only getting one a week, will one a fortnight make any difference? f**k it, just pack it up completely! Surely, those that are in such a poor situation, they should be getting one hot meal a day at least! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
