The Nasty Party

Great Britain is the 6th richest nation in the World, our GDP tops £2 trillion so it should be to our Governments eternal shame that UNICEF have had to step in to feed hungry children in Britain.  
Obviously the Government will point towards the empty coffers due to the tens of billions spent on fighting the Coronavirus as they did when the question of free school meals was posed but that argument fails to hold water when a few weeks ago they announced an increase of £17 billion in the defence budget, no money to feed children but always money to pay for the machinery of war.  
How a Government decides  to spend its budget is a political choice, the Conservatives have decided to put Child Poverty towards the bottom of the list, much more important things to spend their money on obviously. Shame on the people who voted in the Conservatives but even more if they continue to support them still.
