Her pseudo-outrage at there being limited places *gasp* just shows that she’s never once bothered herself to volunteer her time at any form of food provision scheme. At one place I worked at over lockdown they literally used all of one volunteer’s time to have her ring people weekly to see if they still needed the parcels because they needed to focus their resources on people who really needed it. My mum helps to run a “brunch club” at her church over school holidays and they only give letters to the kids who get FSM to try and limit who comes but some Range Rover mums got onto it and started using it as a coffee morning, and they had to be quietly asked whether they were hungry or experiencing financial difficulties (because obv not everyone looks poor) and if not could they perhaps limit visits to once a week so the club had enough food for kids who literally were not getting fed.

Unfortunately charities have extremely limited resources, be it space, time, man power or food, and there are always going to be people who take the piss for a free ride (and it’s never those who need it). This is a reality that anyone who does a fair amount of volunteering could tell her. Why isn’t she having a massive go at the Trussell Trust who fiercely gatekeep their service?? God she’s a massive twit.

Harold’s been to the OAP lunch hasn’t he? He’s come back and told her how lovely it was, 3 courses for £5. He’s tried to explain about how Edith, who’s husband died last July, has hooked up with Kenneth, who’s been a widow for 7 years, but always wears his military medals at the pensioners lunch. She’s fewmin 😤

I’m not entirely sure, but I’ve seen Roadside mum wanging on about this. Some local authorities have stopped the FSM vouchers through the holidays and are offering these holiday clubs instead, and the council Jack is replying to is one of them. I’ve no idea how it all works, but if you’re on a low income and you work, I would imagine the club is the better option as you won’t have to find childcare. Obviously if you rely on the FSM vouchers you’re in trouble, but as I say, I’m not entirely sure on the logistics.

Luckily for LJC' Jack has a proven track record for being a liar and fantasist. All she needs to say is no such conversation . You know what she's like.

Never would I ever...
Tell Jack Monroe something confidential. She's so volatile, you just know she'd shout her mouth off whenever it suited her, just to be spiteful or to win an argument with a stranger online.

She's a wanker. Does she expect the schools to ensure a place for every single pupil, knowing full well many won't be able to attend because they'll be staying with relatives/on holiday/spending quality time with a parent/doing other things/at home with covid? She's so short sighted it hurts.

Uh oh! Bellend Jack is up and about!
Why is Jack only seething about this now? It's 4 days into the holidays and she's only just ranting about this because someone else tagged her in it? Yet it's Southend CC, so local information for Jack. Surely she'd know all about this anyway?
Or is it yet another case of it doesn't benefit Jack so she really doesn't give a tit unless she's tagged and has to pretend she does? :rolleyes:
Yawn.
 
So she’s trying to instigate another pile-on, about NOTHING.

Literally, you could replace every single one of her tweets ever with

“DADDY, DADDY, LOOK AT MEEE DADDY, PAY ATTENTION TO MEEEEE DADDY. DADDY, DADDY ARE YOU LOOKING AT MEEEEE”?!

Because that’s essentially what they all are. Other than rattling the tip jar and grifting for Patreons, she couldn’t give a flying duck about anyone else. Everything is for an audience of one.
 
What is she after free food for all? That's not how it works, it was way the mums l, dad's/ carers who are struggling to feed their children can get them fed and take some of the financial burden of them. My local library has craft activities on over the two weeks something different every day and it's within walking distance of 3 major schools. They also do lego club and movie club on certain days too. Perhaps if she used her Mediterranean arse for something other than falling between trains she could perhaps see what local government run places have on offer. My local library and museum have loads on all the time. As do the local parks.

Also when did it say it was to feed the entire family? It's for the children. I'm sure the money saved from the kids free meals or meals they get at school, would mean you could spend a wee bit on yourself and other meals. Like when they are at school normally. Surely?!
 
My SB is at holiday club today in a school that he doesn’t go to, (they use different venues each day), they run 30% free places and a packed lunch is provided. We don’t qualify and have sent him off paying £8 for the privilege (and the peace and quiet) and I am delighted that we don’t qualify for one of those free places as it means we are lucky to have the income to do this. Jack is a snarky horror, poor Harold.
 
Idk man maybe if you hadn't "actively campaigned against" the Tories main opposition in a general election then perhaps we'd be a little bit closer to having better resources for children. Do you want what is probably a cash strapped council to pull money out of their arse? Not everyone can get something for nothing via Patreon.
