[Mr Gray]

That is the narrative pushed by the rightwing press.

and pretty well everything you say and post is the narrative of the left

I’m not embarrassed to admit I’m left wing....immensely proud of it actually, as are most left-wingers. You can’t, strangely, say that of those who veer to the right.

[Vertigo Swirl]

The worst thing about the far left is their firm belief that they are the most virtuous among us.  And yet more crimes against humanity have been carried out by those on the far left than on the far right, and thatis a fact.

what proportion of thos ebeing admitted to hospital come from poor backgrounds..its raer in the Uk

Malnutrition caused by a poor diet is rare in the UK, but it can happen if a child is neglected, living in poverty or being abused.

I can't bear the thought of anyone being hungry,  especially children.

What do you think is the bigger problem for UK children...hunger or obesity

[Miss Taken Identity]

I expect you and your wife could meet your food, clothing, household bills, entertainment, travel and other expenses from £116.80 plus £21.05 for the eldest child and £13.95 for any others. My state pension (just for me) is more than the benefit paid to a couple on benefits.

What about rent,council tax? dental and optician free as well? children get free school meals.

Malnutrition= bad parenting. Factoring in children of woke people are turning vegan and starving themselves being admitted for Anorexia Nervosa.

Know the facts  regardless of your political persuasion.

I would add to that argument that school children are monitored by school teachers and nurses and the social work are contacted on suspect of any form of abuse. Starving your children is a form of abuse. Parents are offered triple P parenting support and  if children are at serious risk they are removed from the home. Therefore, any child being admitted to hospital is via the community social work team which include NHS staff for assessment and diagnosis.  If a child  is very ill then that has been due to the parents/s not contacting services for assistance and being held back from attending school. to go under the radar.

So 100% parents fault. Unless the child is diagnosed  with Anorexia Nervosa. And that is a very specific mental health issue.

Something or nothing...
According to their Linkedin profiles, both RM & MWM have relocated to Exeter within the last few months. My cynical side is whispering something about a dislike of Portuguese justice & jails.

Is July 2019 "within the last few months"?
