@VickyCraddock @PhilHumphris Lol, school reports like that have long haunted me! Happy to have stirred a memory. Hope y'all are weathering the storm well
That is a pathetic excuse.
What is he trying to say here?... That because a safety net isnโt 100% perfect it should neither be used nor fixed? Preventing the suffering of children in these times should be a clear priority - and free school meals is a basic, effective tool.
I would say - and for once I'm actually vaguely qualified to comment - that BBC managers, already bruised by lack of access to ministers, have bowed to pressure from the government & let Emily Maitlis down very badly.
Just for the record: the UK government is deliberately rewriting history in its ongoing COVID-19 disinformation campaign. My Jan 24 tweet called for caution in UK media reporting. It was followed by a series of tweets drawing attention to the dangers of this new disease.
If anyone is in ANY doubt what so ever as to how serious the threat we face here in the UK from #Coronavirus is take a look at poor Italy.793 people have died in the last 24 hours. It really is time for our society to get a grip and FOLLOW government advice NOW! RT if you agree๐ฌ๐ง
I thought I could be a Brit and European. I thought we were in it together. I hope one day we will learn to play with our neighbours - please look after our star. #IAmEuropean#LeaveALightOn
