More utter madness! ?200 to buy "healthy food"

1. What is to ensure that they spend iton healthy food?
2. Healthy food is cheaper than supermarket processed food anyway
3. Why does everyone get it, irrespective of income?
4. We KNOW they will spend it all on a bulk order of pop tarts and Pot Noodle
5. And since it inly kicks in after the 29th week of pregnancy the damage will already have been done.

Well when /if you meet him again, tell him this utter utter utter crap really is going one step too far.
I strongly protest at seeing part of my bloody hard earned grafted tax, going to some parasitic little tart who can't keep her knickers on.
Christ almighty, some of these weasels will be bonking away with gay abandon right now in anticipation of a night out in Mc Shiteles. evil:

It's not cheaper to buy healthy food. If you wander round asda picking up all the meal deals on junk it is an awful lot cheaper than cooking from scratch.

Sounds like an impressive plan to me!  lol:

Point one is honestly true. Mr Wench and I proved it by doing two different shops. The crap shop came out about 30% less.

Point two, well I'm probably the only one here likely to benefit from it!  redface:

For the stated purpose the ?200 grant is too late (at 29 weeks the damage is done).
Restore the married persons tax allowance and give tax relief for having children, as they used to, that would make a difference to great many children.

Oh dear Snoopy turns out to be a Tory at heart redface:

Agreed too late but the ?200 would come in useful.  redface:

Mr Wench has come to the same conclusion which hurts his bleeding lefty roots no end!
