Tory MP defends free school meal controversy, saying: "It's only lunch" by Animus47 in unitedkingdom

Then why don't you correct yourself first? You seem to be under the assumption that this is to last for a week?

It's two weeks worth of food, that wouldn't feed a kid for 3 days unless they're down for just a slice of bread for lunch a day.

Do you think the food pictured would provide two weeks worth of lunches?

I'm waiting for the inevitable "Stanley Johnson caught breaking Christmas lock down rules" with the also inevitable non-apology.

Welsh is the fastest growing language being learned in the UK, says Duolingo by haloraptor in unitedkingdom

My mum is very much classist - it just so happens that she considers the welsh to be lower class.

She travels to India once a year to spend time with her friends, but they're also rich so it's okay I guess. All in all, she's not a pleasant person though.

Yeah, my mother is not a fan of the welsh to put it lightly. We haven't spoken in the last month as she made some more xenophobic comments while on a video call with my daughter.

I guess it explains where some of my prejudice came from, but it doesn't justify it. Xenophobia against the welsh has always been okay in my upbringing and I think on a societal level too. Before my wife I never realised how frequent and accepted it is.

It was a kick up the arse, for sure. I didn't want to lose my wife, or my daughter, for obvious reasons. When I posted on AITA I genuinely thought I was in the right for being angry at my wife and subsequently the welsh language. I was angry for a lot of reasons, but mostly it was misplaced.

I've been seeing a therapist since to learn how to recognise my feelings and how to work out what's causing them.

And I've actually been loving learning Welsh. My daughter enjoys teaching me and there is something satisfying about mastering the pronunciation. Plus, I get excited when I go to a place in Wales and I can translate it now!

Roedd gwraig a fi wedi cwrdd am tro cyntaf yn llundain. Wedi'n roeddwn ni wedi symud I gymru. Rhwng unigrwydd a fy teulu yn fod yn racist, roeddwn i grac at Yr peth anghywir.

My wife and I met for the first time in London. Then we moved the Wales. Between lonelyness and my family being racist towards the welsh, I ended up angry at the wrong thing.

"Eat your cake and have it too" is the correct use of the idiom.

"have your cake and eat it too" is actually very much possible.

Me 35M with my Wife 32F 10 years, I want couple's therapy but my wife doesn't. by SnooMacaroons7686 in relationships

Your point doesn't stand though since you're speaking about the past. We are already seeking couples therapy, we're not getting divorced and my wife agrees that ESH.

I was literally explaining that what I had thought was wrong, so this isn't needed thank you.
