Spending 100s millions on "food parcels" for people living in poverty where the allocated is £30 per person but the boxes have about £5 worth of food and the rest is taken as profit by the company whose CEO is a massive Tory donor is ALMOST peak Tory fuckery
This is a Free School Meals bag that has to cover 10 days

- company in questions is Chartwells
https://twitter.com/…Bluejam - To be fair, Chartwells were quick to respond and are now investigating. They're part of the large Compass Group.Morning_star
- You'd perhaps forgive them if stuff like this happened once or twice in unprecedented times, but it's been pretty much everything since the pandemic began.fadein11
- Absolute cunts. As if the amount of food wasn't agreed with ministers first.fadein11
- tO Be fAiR... no. There's no fair about this. People, multiple people, took the decision and thought this was ok.face_melter
- Do you think there was a fucking rogue food box saboteur and managed to get this through without anyone else noticing?face_melter
- Turns out (after talking with someone who has worked with Compass Group brands) that Chartwells used to be called Scolerest and were the epicentre of the...Morning_star
- ...Turkey Twizzlers/Shite Nutrition debacle that Jamie Oliver was behind a few years back. There are utter, utter profit driven cunts. So you're right...Morning_star
- ...face_melter there's no need to be fair .Morning_star
- if this is true it's an utter disgrace.hans_glib
- huge tory donor and CEO was on Cameron's Business Advisory Group...fadein11

- Would love to see what the chefs on Ready Steady Cook would come up with using these ingredients.shapesalad

- 10 days? Christ. Do you have food banks over yonder?jtb26
- People who would have been in the church rinsing folks cash 40 years back have realised charity work is easier to grift the poor without all the jesus stuff.PhanLo
- You should see their school meal substitutes - not even enough nutrition to support an adultSlashPeckham
- ffs makes Dickensian gruel look like a healthy optionNonEntity
- ^ I was going to say, what is it with you Brits and your penchant for Victorian-style abject cruelty, anyway? This is fucking jaw-dropping.Continuity
- ^ It's the 'British Establishment believing poor people will spend cash on booze and cigarettes... that's why these food parcels are being sent out like thisSlashPeckham
- It's a fucking embarrassment is what it is. But totally unsurprising from the current particularly toxic manifestation of the conservative party, Rees-Mogg isfadein11
- likely masturbating right now.fadein11
- Booze and cigarettes seem a pretty reasonable way to cope with the barbarism of the 'British Establishment', all things considered.Continuity
- ^ True but it almost never happens. During WWII the rations people were given were far better than this.. maybe because there was no profit motive..SlashPeckham
- In fact for the poorest people nutrition/health improved in WWII... this is far below that watermark. I fucking hate the tories!!SlashPeckham
- Is this related to what Marcus Rashford is doing? Or is he doing his own thing?stoplying
- Some Facts: hampers were put together last week based on the cost of a free school meal allowance - £2.34 per pupil per day (which is £11.70 a week) NOT £30Morning_star
- Rashford campaigned for free school meals to continue in the holidays successfully. He most certainly has nothing to do with this awfulness.fadein11
