Hardly Pukered. Privileged background, private schools, my sister went to a decent boarding school. Ponies, pony club, tennis lessons, piano lessons, ballet. Parents v wealthy, lived just outside a v 'naice' village. We owned the farm next to us, and tenanted it out. Father worked in the City, mother SAHM. Typical MC Tory voting household in fact.
I prefer to make my own mind up though, and the older I get, and the more I experience of life, the further I draw away from that mindset. I'm very much a green socialist, and so are both my daughters. We have a social conscience, we genuinely care about other people, and the environment. It's not at all knee jerk.
And I do agree, FSM for all is unnecessary, as is this breakfast idea. BUT without singling children out for free breakfasts, how else do you ensure that the poorest, or least advantaged children get something to eat before school? I can see why it's for all, so there's no discrimination or stigma, as there was once with FSM.
55% of people living in poverty come from working households. Socialism is not about shoring up the workshy, the feckless, etc. It's about giving everyone a basic level playing field that's livable. Nothing wrong with that at all. Certainly not reactionary, not something to snort over and make jokes about blowjobs (really rather surprised at you there MaQ, I didn't have you down as quite so catty or superficial and snobby).
