[@AnimatedBlast]

MrVampireBill we simply believe their parents should have food stamps, not benefits, and their landlords should get paid not the tenants. The people refusing those kids meals are their parents and the government.

[@MrVampireBill]

Heavens light our guide oh wow. One out in the wild.

[@gdwnet]

@@AnimatedBlast The landlords do get paid when the local council process the payments which doesn't always happen. Food stamps were stopped because they could only issue stamps for certain foods and (I believe) at one point milk wasn't available on food stamps plus a lot of parents hated using them because it was a massive beacon that they were poor. Some even got abuse over it.

[@ScottyDont1945]

Also food stamps were stopped because many shops didn't accept them even for "essential" items such as milk eggs and bread. They were also quite difficult to process in some districts. Eventually local governments in my district just started phasing them out and the state just took them away and replaced them with benefits.

I'll say this again. I'll never not be terrified by the number of people who simultaneously hold terrible embarrassing views so strongly that they call a radio guy to let it be known but are embarrassingly so self aware that their views are terrible so they do everything in their power to pretend they're not actually complaining about the thing they called to complain about.

Its like listening to americans with accents.

This comment cut me deep. You are correct and that is a shame.

"Americans with accents" I mean, Americans have accents, too. Accents are relative lol. I agree with your sentiment, though. The Brexiteers are virtually just British MAGA supporters.

[@optoms1178]

Lol I literally just said that

[@gitbuckets]

Absolute facts.

[@billyjamison1132]

The point is that no child should be hungry on account of what their parents situation is,people who think otherwise seriously need to look in the mirror!!!!!!!!

[@iffy0085]

Very well said

[@thomasjones6216]

This is obvious, no one should be hungry in this country; yes, there are people who shouldn't have kids; but thats a separate issue For those children that ARE here; do we starve them to punish the parents? If this were about prisoners being starved we'd be looking at Human rights abuses; so why punish kids for the sins of the parents? Maybe if our s** ed were better we wouldn't need a system for hungry kids It reminds me of a metaphor I heard; a guy has an ant problem at his house, so he burns it down... cheaper than paying an exterminator Admittedly he's now homeless - point is, stopping free meals won't stop child poverty - but education and a better funded social care system might So feed the kids, so they can concentrate, learn and stop repeating past errors Or alternatively, scrap downing street, scrap hs2, scrap the houses of parliament; go back to virtual parliament - put all MPs on Nat. Min. Wage, enough people make ends meet on that apparently, and then we'll have a lot of money for looking after young people Just saying Sorry to rant

[@tomgreenslade6798]

And that is why kids go hungry because the parents that keep having kids when they know they aren’t financially secure or the children become an age where the mother might have to go back out and work, they know the government will be there to fill in the missing pieces. If we took a harder line, these parents would think twice before continuing to add to their brood! Sometimes people have to take responsibility.

[@MoltenArmour]

@@tomgreenslade6798 So we punish the kids and make them go hungry because of their parents' bad choices? Sorry Pete... I want to live in a country that helps people even after they make mistakes, not one who punishes people for having children.

[@kanedNunable]

@@tomgreenslade6798 you are still punishing the kids, cant you see that?

[@cainekass]

James schools these callers who just want to hear their own voice on the radio. I love it.

[@garystokes6407]

Has he not heard of family allowance

[@davidwarburton-burley9967]

These people are sociopaths. Badly rationalising away leaving families to go hungry

[@bubba842]

"Your left wing because you disagree with people," classic line Pete. So by that understanding, if Pete is disagreeing with James then Pete must be left wing. Unfortunately, people like this exist in huge numbers in the UK.

[@fernandaalario5091]

Poor parenting…. How do these people look themselves in the mirror ….

[@glowwurm9365]

O’Brien gets them so tangled up in knots, that they find themselves arguing that children should go hungry… despite the fact it’s possible one of the most ridiculous statements a person could make. This ladies and gentlemen is the British public for you, critical thinking is not encouraged in this country.

[@IONAPINKMOXIE]

"we should feed hungry children in need" "we should not aid children whose parents are on a program" we should feed rich children ???

James, you are freaking awesome!!! Glad I came across your channel.

[@educatingfool216]

If we can't articulate our beliefs and values then we're holding word salad in our heads.

[@HappyHippieGaymer]

It feels to me that someone who cant at the very least articulate their position on something they obviously feel strong about, should realize the way their thoughts processes work must be painfully flawed.

[@undesignated3491]

What's wrong with free school meals, there should be no debate on it. I'm sure the state can easily afford one square meal day. It not just the food aspect , it's the fact the state has show a caring attitude and will mould children to respect it more. Used to love School dinners, mint custard with chocolate rice crispy blocks were awesome like rocks couldn't cut them for toffee

[@chrismcdevitt7814]

One man's agenda is to make sure that hungry children get fed, and the other man's agenda is cruelty.

[@antmink8507]

Hearing this caller reminds me of the potato famine in Ireland and how the British government didn’t want to feed the starving people because they thought they were lazy and undeserving of help.

[@pauls3204]

What you posted is a great example of press manipulation or history being twisted by those who write it. Hundreds of thousands in Scotland Wales and England also died during this famine, and millions more across Europe

[@jakewhittaker1145]

"I'm literally begging you to say what you think." "I think many things [...]" What a gem he is 😂😂😂

[@Sahbrynn]

The world produces enough food to feed all the people on its surface many times over. Yet we make it the haves and have nots. If we loved the human race in all its forms we wouldn’t need a discussion like this one.

[@stevesloan7132]

So, there it is. He doesn't want kid's of the "other" to get help. Now who is "the other." I thought we were all us.
