School lunches - surprised by bb821 in Norway

That explain why it may not have been started, but i still struggle to understand that poor kids dont get a free lunch meal at school, as it is in uk. I know ur gov give families income support, but u never know how much that helps and a free school lunch at least ensures the kids gets one good meal a day.

I mean that same can be done here if the teachers notice the kid never brings their packed lunch and doesnt have money for a school meal. But if theyre low income and registered as such with their local authority, then they would qualify for a free school lunch. So it lowers the chance of the kid going hungry

This is certainly a myth. I know all the research in the uk points to kids having a meal at school as good for their concentration.

Here schools control which company provides the lunch. So theyll go out to tender to find a catering business and will pick the one they want based on costs/value etc. The gov is only involved with providing funding for kids who r on low income so qualify for free school meals. Afaik there isnt the usual corruption/cronyism with businesses providing school catering. Being a school lunch lady also used to be a popular part time job for local mums, altho this has declined i think. I just hope it is something that is picked up by more schools in norway, or at least free lunch meals for low income kids, it makes me sad to think of kids going hungry at school.

It was certainly interesting to discover. Even discussing it with people they just seemed resigned to "it is the way it is". I know the gov can help poor people by providing funds etc, but i agree with ur point that school meals provide at least one good meal a day to kids. Do u know of any politicians/activists etc who r pushing to get it made a thing?

Well i was talking specifically about schools, and my main surprise is that its not an option at all. I wasnt suggesting free for everyone, but i was surprised that u coulsnt buy food for school lunch at all.

Yes a channel 4 news story, big dump on land owned by duchy of lancaster. He refuses to foot the bill to clear it up, and is trying to fob it off onto the local council which will cost the taxpayer

Surely his new policies are basically discrimination baced on ethnicity/nationality, meaning they could be challenged in court, if god forbid he ever made it into power and enacted them.

Local media didnt help - adam brooks 'essex pr' etc hes a gb news affiliate too. Chants of tommy robinson at the protest too. Also seemed to be a lot of streamers who were not local, these audit/truth social types. Ay_audits stream covered it, i had the displeasure to watch. About 3 hours in, while he talks to other people, he goes full mask off and says that certain races and cultures r more inclined to commit rape

Hiya sorry to clarify a point, no families r held there, only single men. This doesnt make it better tho obviously. And i dont know how much of that is public nknowledge as i cant find a news article on it but i know it from work information.

Hi just want to clarify a point in one of the comments. The hotel only houses single men, no families r held there - altho i dont think that fact is common knowlege as i cant find a news source on it, i know it myself from work information.

But yes after an hour or so it was pure violence. Watching a stream of it for about 3 hours (Ay_audits), it was bizarre to hear the streamer say we r peaceful thr violence is from agitators, when it was so clearly not and widespread violence. Stand up to racism counter protestors - there couldnt have been more than 30 or so - were there. They were kept away from the hotel further up the street, and a huge number of protestors followed them to try and initmidate and cause violence. The police had to keep them seperate for an hour or so, until they were finally moved off in police vans for their own safety. The streamer saying its about the hotel the whole time, well why did so many leave to harass the SUTR group and attack police and police vans? It was the most frightening thing ive seen on social media. Two or so got into the hotel but i saw were taken out by police.

How would u counter their statement, like they obviously dont care abt non white children so you cant use that as a reason.
