Letter 83: Breakfast Club versus "old boy's club"

"Dear Dave
Bless us and save us, guv! Has history taught you nothing? Do you not remember "Thatcher, Thatcher, Milk Snatcher"? A terrible moniker, wouldn't you say? But even she wasn't accused of taking the cereal, spoon, bowl, toast and juice to go with it from poorer hungry schoolchildren. Breakfast clubs are vital.
Napoleon Bonaparte famously said that an army marches on it's stomach. If you are the hands on dad that "Webcam" promoted, you'd know that children do too.
You have to make your mind up Dave, either you want to improve education standards or you don't. Have a heart. And if you can't engage your conscience, at least think practically; no-one can concentrate if they're hungry and listless.
With best wishes, etc

P.S. By the way, are MPs still getting that taxpayer meal subsidy we heard about here:
