There’s only 40million ban-jani’s60% of them live in Ban-Jani's head.
S'what I'm saying. You're like me. Everyone out there is in your head. Read it back, you know what they're like, what they're thinking. But we don't. We simplify grossly. If we didn't, the old grey matter would explode.There’s only 40million ban-jani’s
You’re frightening me nowS'what I'm saying. You're like me. Everyone out there is in your head. Read it back, you know what they're like, what they're thinking. But we don't. We simplify grossly. If we didn't, the old grey matter would explode.
Having felt what THAT's like...
It's a life long struggle to get them out, wish I'd started a lot earlier.
60% of them live in Ban-Jani's head.
It’s 59.9% actuallyLies. If you said 60.1% I’d have believed you
This.Been following this over social media and needless to say it should be a national scandal. It won't be though, because working class people have turned into Tories. It will get brushed under the carpet, those poor bastards will be told not to have kids unless they can feed them and then some bollocks will come out about Corbyn and the Cons will reach 40% in the polls. It's all so utterly depressing.
Don’t try to interject any sense on here mate, the mob is out in force as they are every day.Correct the DoE set nutritional standards that schools and LEA are responsible for delivering. In this case where the food parcels have been outsourced they must meet those standards. I support the idea of providing good balanced food boxes rather than vouchers that last time around my local supermarket had to put up signs saying you couldn’t use on booze or fags.
I not sure how Williamson could be more across this? He doesn’t personally inspect each box and as soon as the matter came to light the DoE said they were investigating. And that’s the crux of the problem here, people aren’t going mental at Compass Group here and abusing them on Twitter they are blaming the government - so basically companies like Compass can take the piss safe in the knowledge that if found out they won’t get held to account. It’s bollocks that is.
Wait until they find out it's actually their tax payers money that's supplementingThis.
The Tories and their propaganda machine will divide the workers. Plenty are outraged by the meals scandal but everyone who defends it will know a mythical Tracey with 7 kids in the United colours of Benetton who deserves fuck all because she's a work shy, piss taker with a house, sky, PlayStation's etc that they are paying for with their taxes.
I’m not sure if the government contract suppliers directly here, the LEA does.
So let me get this right:
The government agrees to pay £30 to the LEA for each kid for each weekly food parcel.
The LEA contracts this out to an outside company where the school cannot provide these meals.
Said outside company sends out a piss take foodparcel (in this case I understand Compass group)
This is brought to the attention of the government who said they are investigating as this falls way short of expectations
Yet somehow this is the government fault? What would you have Boris do exactly? Nip down to Spar get a few goodies in and pack them up himself? Maybe he can pop round and spoon feed the baby.
The buck starts and stops with Compass and the LEA in question should say they will not be allowed to provide any further services for 12 months. It pisses me off that folk are too quick to jump down the throat of government when this actually isn’t their doing. They are paying £30 a kid a week. What else would you have them do that they aren’t exactly?
I agree with this. The £30 is surely easier to process and it’s a cock up, I don’t relate Williamson at all.Wouldn’t it have been easier to hand a £30 voucher to the parents instead of all this arsing around subcontracting to a firm (probably Tory donors) to put together a box with an orange and a tin of condensed milk in it?
Cut out the wasteful middle man so to speak. That’s on the Govt, also the Govt should at least dictate what should go in the box if we are doing it this half arsed way.
I agree with this. The £30 is surely easier to process and it’s a cock up, I don’t relate Williamson at all.
However, people thinking it’s a conspiracy by the government to hold back money are simpletons.
Well fuck me, we agree.The Govt isn’t competent enough to organise a conspiracy. I doubt if they could even spell conspiracy.
On the other hand, the company that got the contract were definitely bright enough to screw the kids over. There is a lot of easy money to be made off this Govt.
’I would like a £150m Contract to run ferries between the UK and Europe.‘
’Great! Here’s the money. How many ferries have you got?’
’I need ferries? That wasn’t a stipulation in the tender.’
I agree with this. The £30 is surely easier to process and it’s a cock up, I don’t relate Williamson at all.

Is corruption not a conspiracy?I've just read back over the thread ad can't see any posts that that describe this sort of scenario. At the bare bones is suggestion of corruption and links to Tory donors, but that doesn't equate to the government holding back funds.
Money deposited into a parent/carers bank account is the easiest option I would agree about that. Unfortunately there is always going to be some abuse and piss takers but that could be rectified under an electronic gift card scheme with regular top ups and restricting payment as invalid to fags and booze.
The ferry point @BobKowalski raised was the worst for me in the last few years.I’d say cronyism more than corruption as such. The PPE stuff is a bigger example though.
I’m heavily involved in the vaccine rollout programme and they haven’t got it right, the planning for it has been a nightmare and far later in the day than it should have been. It’s improving though and quickly.
Well I would argue that Corbyn was and is a man of peace, you just need to do a little research, I'm sure you have that in your locker.What has Stanley done that’s worse than meeting with the IRA as an ally?
Or running a political party that was deemed as institutionally racist, by the EHRC, with them placing the blame on him?
Or laying wreaths at the graves of Jew murdering terrorists?
Or appearing on Iran National government TV?
Or being a fiend to Hamas?
Stanley gets a Covid jab though and didn’t wear his mask in a shop.
Ffs man.
