There's your first warning......gauge your £#%&!ing crowd FFS, should have instantly jumped in with him.and voted it through for half term etc...

Middle of a PLANdemic and your bad press is stacking up...

322 of you please vote to starve kids...

The optics are vile, who's advising these @#%&!s.....

Jem, given the lengths he seems to go to to avoid criticising them whilst focussing on some flaky aspect of those criticising. Weird as £#%&!.

Like you say, it’s simple stuff that you would imagine even Corbyn’s pr team would get right. Inexcusable and indefensible. Tories complaining about QE and selling food vouchers for crack. Like something from the day today. Bonkers all round.

Yes, but at least we are all in it together.

This whole division between the deserving poor and undeserving poor goes back to the 1834 Poor Law Act. You can see it now - you have a big TV or buy cigarettes you're feckless and don't merit any more 'help' even if that means your children go hungry ..and so say 322 of us.

But it's got worse as many of those in poverty are working - work is no longer always a way out.

It's a national disgrace and ending child poverty ought to be a priority for any Government.

He’s certainly one of the king piss-boilers on here and I’ve nothing but admiration for his thick skin. However with talk of a new FOTY category for exactly his archetypal sanguine style that induces rage you have to wonder if the pressure of getting to him? Ric could be quids in during awards season, which is more than can be said for starving children under this government.

what's the value in criticising the tories for not ensuring, one way or another, that children get enough to eat?

it's £#%&!ing obvious that any government should do this (and I have already stated as much and said I would pay more tax to get it done, too).

as for the lengths I go to avoid criticising the government, it is astonishing the lengths you will go to to avoid noticing my comments on boris, patel, raab, covid, the economy, brexit, etc. what you mean is that I don't automatically meet every £#%&!ing thread with "I blame the evil tories and anyone who would even consider voting for them for being evil. if only that nice mr corbyn had got in. but starmer is the dog's %@#$&!s."

A lot of noise that there will be a raft of new awards beyond the aforementioned variation on number one forum piss-boiler. There was a leaked document that seems to have originated in the Middle East which suggested a lifetime achievement award for those formerly great posters who didn’t manage to win a trophy at their peak. A category to unmask a former poster under a new user and even a category for favourite NY based poster.

Williamson being lined up as the fall guy - didn't ask the Treasury for the half term cash for the grub.

They're probably over the moon with Rashford tbf. When you're overseeing two of the biggest disasters in recorded history, having peoples attention diverted to something else is a good thing.

Not sure. But either way it shows how ridiculously hopeless they are.

"Bad news is people are getting £#%&!ed off with the lockdown and we're obviously £#%&!ing up brexit. But on the bright side people hate us even more because we're willing to let hungry children starve, so at least we have that going for us..."
