School Breakfasts UK

Breakfast is on for children in the UK. Breakfast at school, why! Clearly, the children are not getting breakfast at home prior to going to school. That is an indication of the size of the poverty in the UK, and the impact of austerity combined with the huge cost of living. As I have said before, the cost of austerity will cost the government more in the long run. In this case due to the importance of nutrients on the health of the children.

My view is that children are sent to school far too young too, as it is proven that sending children to school too young impacts upon their learning abilities. In the UK, we send children to school two years earlier than they do in some other European countries. Also class size is far too big. When I was at school there were only ten to eleven children in a class, we had breakfast before school, and then we had milk time during the day and school dinners. Young children were given their afternoon sleep too; that is essential for growing bodies.

3.5 million children are growing up in poverty in the UK, the 7th richest country in the world.

The high cost of EU immigration and it's huge impact upon the economy of the indigenous families in the UK. The UK has to close the borders immediately.

Children should not be "worrying" about how their parents will pay for electricity, other bills, their clothes, and their food. The children in that documentary "Poor Kids", talk about their "depression, self-harm, and feeling suicidal". They discuss their homes, the health risks in those homes, and their health conditions.

In 1997, the price for an allotment for the poor to grow food was £22 a year. Legally, the local councils have a duty to provide enough allotments for the people to grow their own food. 

In 2008, the Guardian reported that 300,000 people held allotments, whilst 100,000 were on waiting lists. In March of that year, Geoffrey Stokes, secretary of NSALG, said that councils are "failing in their duty to provide allotment plots". Sustainability and food security can be assisted if and when the local councils ensure that any new development ensures that properties have gardens big enough to grow food, and also that those developers provide a large enough community space for each community to grow some of it's own food.

Permanent allotment sites have been demanded by the Allotment Society.
