   I have children I get family allowance which even the queen was entitled to. I am not really bothered either way i pack my children up but i know of people who do rely on the free meals when you have more than one child and havin to pay dinners everyday it does amount to a lot of money which could be spent elsewhere

   Roberto, having kid is by choice and not because the goverment said you have to have them why sould the state have to feed then. I run a car by my own choice why don’t the state supply me with free fuel as I dont have any kids to get free meals. In other words if you have something that cost you to keep but you can get on without it then why should someone else pay for the upkeep though there taxes

   Why do we have to pay for a lot of things this council charge us for. Your thoughts are so narrow minded, if this is helping our cities children be healthy then surely thats a good thing. The amount that you pay to the council pension fund is more than what school dinners would cost, but your not ranting on about that.

   Karl, Having a pension from the council is a perk of the job,if your kids need feeding it is the parent that should supply the meal not the council

    If you genuinely cannot afford decent meals for your kids then you should get help for that. There again, though, that does beg the question of why you had them in the first place if you can’t afford to feed them. Before you all jump down my throat – I appreciate that people can fall on hard times, but there is a skill called ‘budgeting’. We had three kids and never had any payouts for them other than Child Benefit, which was peanuts at the time. We are just ordinary working class folk, not on inflated salaries, before you ask. In fact I stayed at home to bring up the children but of course was not entitled to any help as my husband was in work.

    I think it’s the mind-set that others should pay for what you have decided to have but can’t really afford that annoys people. grabs tin helmet and ducks behind parapet

So the people that will benefit from bringing them back is the people who work so in some way you are not paying for them as they pay tax they are paying for them anyway.

    It’s getting a bit tedious, this idea that "I shouldn’t pay for …..because I don’t have/ use…." Everyone pays for everyone else, ultimately. Money is, you know, in circulation: it just keeps going round and round. The problem, as ever, is when the "Human Element" creeps in and selfishly exploits things.

    School breakfast club???

    Hows about free breakfasts too while we’re on the subject?

    Seriously, wheres the pride in people? As long as there’s a free handout available, the queue for people claiming it will always be stretched around the block. Children are a "responsibility" as well as a source of happiness. I’ve every sympathy with the parents that fall on hard times but the system will always be open to abuse.

    I have no kids but my "hard times" came at the beginning of January when I lost my job. The Council tax was paid, as were the Utility bills. Unfortunately, the gym membership was cancelled and no nights out were had and Sky TV subscription was downgraded. I landed a job within days (without claiming any unemployment benefit or whatever it is they call it these days) after looking all over the internet all that weekend, quite literally, which helps.

    In terms of people being selfish, there are those that whinge about what they aren’t given and then there are those that go out and earn the things they want. Forget the "have kids/don’t have kids" divide. It’s purely about people wanting something for nothing.

But you probobly begrudge paying for the nhs as you are not ill

    Funnily enough Hayley, I’d be all for it if the scheme was open to children of working parents. Thats a pretty neat incentive to get certain people off their fat backsides and out of the pub/betting shop. Dangle a carrot for people, that could work.

    The more people that work, the less people that have to resort to claiming benefits, therefoore, more money for free school meals. And, before I get beaten with a stick again…yes, some worthy people are entitled to benefits for lots of reasons, too numerous to mention. I think we all know the type that i’m referring to?

    As for the NHS, like the Police, Fire service, Paramedics and Prisons, I don’t actually begrudge paying towards their upkeep. In fact, it helps me to sleep at night knowing that these institutions are on hand should the need ever arise.

Should I therefore not work and claim some state means benefit because I cannot start work at 9am. If my child did not have a breakfast club to go to I would not be able to work. After all, I was under the impression that these clubs, breakfast and after school, were setup by the government, in order that parents could get jobs and not seek benefits. Maybe I was wrong. Also I am totally behind free school meals for all children, what a shame the now ruling party in Hull were so short sighted not to carry on sanctioning, what I think, will be an action taken up and spread around the UK. We were the first, but may now sadly be the last to add support to this project. I would like to think that I live in a town where people do not begrudge a child one free meal a day.

    My kids got pack-ups [healthy ones] because they didn’t eat the school lunches, whoever paid. Not necessarily because of the food, either – they just didn’t like the ruck. At least I knew whether – and what – they were eating. But even at £1.20 school meals are heavily subsidised – the ingredients alone work out at £1.75 [reportedly]. So it’s just a question of how great the subsidy should be.

    Two questions – why have no other councils in Britain adopted the idea? Why doesn’t the government fund it?

    While we are stopping free school meals can we please stop child benefit. I don’t know how many billions are wasted on that. We could at least limit it to 1 child instead of encouraging people to have more and more children. If you can’t afford children don’t have them.

    GIL quotes TJ "If my child did not have a breakfast club to go to I would not be able to work" and then goes on to say "Exactly, so you drop them off at the state baby-minding service, Ooops, I mean " Breakfast Club". You could, of course, get up earlier" I think the point is that, because of TJ’s shift time, he/she has to leave the kids at school well before lessons actually begin. If there was no before school service, he/she could not continue in the job. So the state child minding service allows people to work and earn a living. By taking a small amount of help from the state, this person avoids the need to claim full unemployment benefits.

    Sounds like most of the ones on this site with three or more kids should have tied a knot in it, if they can’t afford them don’t keep having them.I had three under five and we always managed to feed and clothe them, nothing fancy just good wholesome food and their clothes were serviceable and fairly up-to-date nothing ‘named’ but the one thing my kids knew was that we loved them and would always be there for them,and we did not expect free handouts or a free baby sitting service from their school, we expected their school to give them a good education and keep them safe while in their care. My kids have grown up and fend for themselves and their families by their own hard work which they fit around their kids day. Most of the free school meal ends up in the swill bin anyway ‘cos the kids don’t like it. I speak from first hand 30 odd years experience of school meals.

    Well, if you have tasted the meals, finding NO salt added and NO salt allowed in the school to be added, then you have to give the stuff away. It is crazy not allowing salt to be in schools. We have gone overboard about these things at the expense of give our kids and future generation a tastless meal every day. Kids can be very active and should be encouraged to eat more, not make the food unedible. When I had kids I used to go home on my lunch hour and make a little meal or just a sandwich for them, whatever they wanted within the time I had. If they wanted a packed lunch then that was fine. When you start to make unedible meals then you can expect kids to look elsewere for something tasty (crisps, chips, burgers or just sweets). So we are not doing our kids any favours by giving them awful tasting school meals.

    They now want to ‘lock’ the kids in at dinner time. What a laugh that is, I worked at a high school that has a ‘lock down’ policy and no matter what they did the kids were over the fences like leamings going over a cliff,some even brought wire cutters to school with them and cut their way out ’ the great escape or what?’. How would you like it if you were told by a restuarant or cafe what you could spend your money on, you’d walk out the door and find another food outlet, I know I would. I agree that burgers on offer every day was not good, and the menu’s in secondary schools are better now than four years ago but surely it does not help when the council allows so many fast food shops to open for business so close to the schools. I worked in a secondary school upto the end of March this year, as the head cook, so I know first hand what the food is like. Senior menu’s are far better than the majority of primary menu’s (as the cooks have carte blanch within government guide lines) and the portions are a lot bigger.Having said that primary menu’s have the nutrition needed for growing kids but its more often the way its cooked that puts kids off, you could give the same recipe to four cooks and they would all come up with something different tasting & looking nothing like the original recipe. These meals have to be produced for each pupil for 75p or under, surely the cost of producing a prisoners meal is more?

    After following this thread and taking in what has been said. Those that agree with free school meals see that they are a good idea, as it helps the child study and become more healthy, it also helps the child understand how eating healthy helps them. All of those who appose the free school meals have but one argument for their case, and that is why should they have to pay for it. So after all that has been said it looks like the debate has to go to those who agree with free school meals, as those against haven’t really come up with a good reason for not having it. I for one as a tax payer agree with all kids having free school meals, this is because I can see the future benefits unlike many others who begrudge paying £1.50 a year for something that in the end would benefit us all more in the end.

    Sorry about the above. I stupidly left the back door unlocked, Chelsea was helping herself to my internet connection and Dean was helping himself to my wallet. Police arrived, social worker arrived, society to blame etc etc. Normal service resumed. :-)

    Right Penny stephenson i never swear at my kids and my family allowance is not for a fags or booze as i do not drink or smoke. But family allowance is what every family is entitled to. But i am not gonna argue this point with you as you do not have a clue what you are talking about and the name of this thread was school dinners.

    I assume Karl on this forum is Karl Turner, the Labour candidate for John Prescott’s seat? I guess that’s why he’ll be trying to blame the Liberals for everything..!
