I am not generally one for bringing politics to this blog but this Free School Meal debate is making me very angry, because it shouldn't of been up for debate in the first place.

When I was at school me and my sibling got free school meals because my parents couldn't afford pack lunches your lucky if we could afford a school uniform, I lived in hand me downs me and my sisters style where so different.

I know personally how much free school meals are needed and even more so now the virus has wiped out most peoples employment and benefits are being reduced, when it comes to looking for a job it 500 people to 1 job, its impossible now supermarkets are rising prices on food and believe me that's hit even me hard so just imagine how its going to hit young families.

Mental health is at a all time high already, suicide has been rising throughout lockdown at an alarming rate now your taking away the one thing we need to live a basic life right, the thing that keeps us alive, FOOD!

What gives you the right to take away peoples food?

Who gives you the right to say who lives and who dies?

You are not god!

You are a government and can be replaced!

The people of England are stronger and better than you, any and all of you!

Children should not pay the price for and adults mistakes.

Families have experienced food insecurity over the last 6 months.
Families have lost income as a result of Covid-19.
Demand for food banks this winter is predicted to be 61% higher than last.

With the Child Food Poverty Taskforce, I am calling for Government to allocate money to:

- Expand free school meals to all under-16s where a parent or guardian is in receipt of Universal Credit or equivalent benefit
- Provide meals & activities during all holidays
- Increase the value of Healthy Start vouchers to at least £4.25 per week, and expand the scheme.

If you live in Cumbria below are a few links on how to apply but most importantly the first port of call for anyone would be you local council.

Road Trip To Blackpool

Hey you beautiful people,

I hope you have all been well and healthy.

Not much has happened really other than my mother and father got in touch and took me for the day in Blackpool.

We did the usual went shopping, walked down the pier which by the way was very windy, I bought us some hot sugary donuts which we all loved, we then came back home and stopped off at Windermere where had curry and chips by the lake and watched the boats.

It was amazing to be out below are some videos of the day.

Take Part

In 2020, history is being made every day.

Australian bushfires. Civil unrest in Hong Kong. A pandemic that took precious lives and changed the way we live. Protests in every corner of America — and around the world — to demand that Black Lives Matter. But in the midst of these extraordinary events, everyday life still continues.

We share moments, music, and meals.

We dance. We laugh. We cry.

We love. We fear. We hope.

What if we captured all of it in a single day? On Saturday, July 25, 2020, film your day and upload your footage and you may become part of a historic documentary – a time capsule of the year 2020.

Anyone can participate and submissions from all over the world will be woven together to create a feature film, produced by Ridley Scott, directed by Kevin Macdonald, filmed by you, and premiering at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival.

Submissions open on July 25th and close on August 2nd.

Let’s write the story of 2020 together.
