You white knight all you want, but there's millions of us who think she's taking the piss, quite frankly. Again, do you honestly think she cannot afford a pint of milk? A woman with two kids on of whom is in private school........
Hilarious
That's a really nice display cabinet behind her, with some expensive looking china.

No way. Surely the BBC would have checked?

Lets confirm it is her first before assuming its true.

For anyone who works at all, it's highly unlikely they're kids will qualify for free school meals - the threshold is £7400 earned income per year, which is about 16 hours a week at min wage. For some reason, state benefits aren't taken into consideration, so it's really only families who live entirely on state benefits who qualify. And they could be better off financially than a single parent who's trying to work (around school times). The state benefits should be sufficient for parent's to feed their kids at lunch time during school holidays, at worst we're talking about a loaf of bread and something to put on it - pennies.

What is a rather worrying though, is that 17.3% of children in England qualify - that's a lot of kids with parents who aren't working...

Some will yes.

But I think there's a difference between someone being proven to be lying v assuming they're lying because you can't believe someone could find themselves in such a situation.

This is a genuinely nice story once you get past the irony of an Indian charity feeding kids in the UK smile

fk me, what a gullible sap you are! The epitomy of a White Knight!

If it was some tattooed munter with a Croydon facelift and a drug habit who could not feed her kids, whilst completely believable, you'd not give the slightest hairy fk! laughlaugh

Send her a bottle of milk, she will smile and you can become her bh, Stewie laughlaughlaugh

You were the one bringing user names into it earlier, want to dish it out but don't like taking it.

You can believe this story if you like, I called bullst on it, how's it going from your position at the moment then?

And if it wasnt some blonde white middle class totty, you'd not give a crap to defend her complete nonsense and you fking know it. At least have the stones to admit it.

Quite happy to take it.

It it turns out she's lying then she's lying.

As I said a few posts up just because someone might lie doesn't mean the position they claimed to be in isn't possible.

It's nothing to do with her being "blonde white middle class totty" as that's not really my type.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So it is "if she is lying she is lying now", but when anyone suggested she was lying earlier, you jump all over them from you big old horse! ??


Loads more about this woman now on the net, her various instagram and twitter accounts, pics of her holidays, big posh wedding, and how the TV had her poor starving kids foraging and picking up all the windfall apples from the garden...... most of which have just laid there and rotted!
Must have been to hungry to bend down and pick them up! laugh

How to explain this.

The position she outlined in the article is entirely possible.

If it turns out she's a liar and has a McLaren out the back and a sack of cash hidden under the bed I'm not sure that people can account for that.

My point is simply that "she's a liar" is an unusual place to start from but seems to be a common one where this subject is concerned.

Two posts on local FB groups I have seen today about a large excess of food donated to charities and them asking for any other places to offload it.
Factor in I get involved with welfare, food parcels and so on at work.

I cannot begin to tell you how much gets chucked because people won’t eat or accept it. Secondly people demanding certain food along with “ I’m not eating that muck”

If we could dispense chicken nuggets, rustlers burgers and blue slush, we’d have a higher success rate.

I also see a lot of household expenditure lists and bank account info.

Very expensive phone, tv, car loans , sky high car insurance for stupid unaffordable cars, and goodness knows what else are prominent. People will not switch to direct debit meters for fuel so they pay through the nose for it. I regularly see monthly costs way beyond mine and I work. You tell them and they won’t shift. It’s decades of living week to week. Paying UC out monthly and giving control has been an utter disaster

We have entire departments at work literally nurse maiding entire households for every moment of their waking lives. I mean it, ringing them to make sure they go to the doctors, have taken their children to school, are budgeting from their UC. This is why places like sports direct exist so the terminally stupid can buy clothes and shoes with no zips, buttons or laces other wise they’d never dress themselves.

I struggle to find single lone female families. They is always some bloke knocking around in the background.

Absent fathers are clearly an issue of course. They’ll be many and I suspect on here too putting a night on the booze and Coke before contemplating ensuring a child from 10 years ago is ok. Equally some of these men are such violent, abusive morons the poor women can only try to cut ties and move on. It doesn’t help we don’t have large multi generation families now living in close proximity akin to the perhaps the Asian community. A community I’d say are actually very good at looking after families and their elders. Yr young white mum running from some abusive fool can get isolated very quickly. A kid at 19 will barely know how to cook anything and the view of cooking staples up for pence ain’t happening. It’s what can go in an oven or microwave or deep fat fryer.

Of course don’t forget those on UC all got chucked an extra free £1000 for the year when COVID struck. Back to the point, tell me how the spare £20 a week they’ve all had since March won’t cover lunch for a week in half term ?

Money ain’t the answer here. But spotting the signs of abused, vulnerable children is. But on those estates people will say and do nothing. They’ll live watching and hearing abuse and hunger and do nothing.

And dads. Dads dads. I’m sure their are millions out there who need to step their game up.

That BBC news story on her linked above reads like a Roald Dahl yarn. Foraging for cherries and relying on the local gamekeeper to throw her a few pigeons. Poor woman. She's doing a good job of scrounging as any readers of the local Facebook groups thread on here will well know. Having the brass neck to say it's all well and good local businesses offering free food but I've no transport so how am I meant to get it. Unbelievable!

Even the weakest guardian reader of which I'm sure she is one must see through this BS story?
