Both of our MP’s voted against providing disadvantaged youngsters with a free-meal during the half-term holidays. No worries, loads of other local restaurants and organisations have stepped into their miserable Tods and Louboutin’s. So fear not, Waverley youngsters are not going hungry, despite your actions and Surrey County Council’s which shamefully received another healthy shedload of money, but refused to use it to feed them!
But this latest tweet from Jeremy Hunt and the response from Paul Follows says it all!
And here’s his boss – putting in a good word for the Self-servatives. Do these people have any idea of how they are perceived by the public?
Here’s the man who should have won the SW Surrey election last year. Frankly, it doesn’t matter what you think of the Lib Dems, Labour or Conservatives. Paul has more honesty, more integrity and more drive to improve and engage with his local community than we have ever witnessed from the incumbent.
I don’t mind Jeremy Hunt taking his daughters for a pizza as a reward for completing their half term tennis camp – that’s any father’s right to do so.
But what is so crass and completely insensitive is to tweet pictures of them about to tuck into pizza, after he has voted against providing free meals for youngsters whose fathers and mothers now have to resort to local food banks to “reward” their children.
It certainly seems to be his “let them eat cake” moment!
Totally agree with you, this is why I was hesitant to comment as ordinarily that’s just his business. But considering his vote I thought this in such poor taste it couldn’t go without comment. 17,000 children in Surrey alone, up from 14,000 since January.
I can say right now that WBC will be putting something in place so that if the government and Surrey abrogate their moral duty at Christmas we are in a place to step up.
