HOW will a mother, whose children are not young enough nor deemed quite sufficiently poor to qualify for free school meals – and who may consequently be forced to eat inadequately herself – feel about far richer kids receiving their lunches for nothing, supposedly because it will enhance their performance and eliminate the stigmatising of the least well-off 20 per cent or whatever?
This is without mentioning all the often highly damaging cuts in public services, state benefits and so on.
