More meanness and bile from The Nasty Party

I was just looking at the Gazette and seen this wonderful comment from one of its readers. He needs to hang his head in shame.

So now Middlesbrough council decides to fritter away the £3 grand a year I pay in council tax. If you can't afford to feed your own kids don't have them.

especially when he probablyin reality pays the lowest band and gets single person discount.
 
"I am delighted our local businesses have bounced back so much after lockdown they are able to give away food for free, and very much hope they will not be seeking any further government support."

I don’t know whether something is lost because this is written so you have no tone but surely she is saying she is delighted that businesses are doing so well they have money for food and in the same way you would say to your dr I hope I don’t see you again , she is simply saying that she hopes the businesses continue to do well that they don’t need to seek more assistance - thats the obvious way to read it - I’m obviously in the minority but what do you think she meant by it?

Er no FatCat that is not what she is saying. So much so that she took down the original post and then issued a half-hearted apology. Her North Devon constituents are giving her hell on Facebook. Almost 1,500 comments on her 'apology' post.

I haven’t seen the post - so are you suggesting she was being sarcastic?

It's essentially her saying that the businesses who offer free school meals, or support to vulnerable families, shouldn't bother claiming any more government support as they're clearly doing so well that they don't need government support.

Almost blackmailing businesses with a thinly veiled threat that if they cover up their mess and feed hungry kids that they will not get any more financial support.

The current government are ghastly. The term Tory Scum has never been more appropriate for many of their current MP's.
 
Her original tweet is appalling, there is no doubt as to its meaning and tone. Her 'apology' is nothing of the sort. She takes a packed lunch? More than covered by her excessive expenses/allowances that the HMRC would not tolerate from any normal business. Subsidised canteens? Madam you are hopelessly out of touch, those went from businesses years ago, a toot from the sandwich van is the best you can hope for. Security requirements due to threats on social media? Vitriol begets vitriol. Now feck off you poor excuse for a human being.
 
No not at all. She was issuing a thinly veiled threat to local businesses who were coming together to support their own community suffering real hardship and uncertain futures. 'If you can afford to give food away for free then don't bother asking for any more government support'.
I honestly didn’t read it that way- to be honest given that I don’t think there is anyone that agrees with the government on this issue then she would do well to keep quiet.

She had a chance to clarify this in her statement instead just said ‘I’ve been taken out of context’ then did not provide the context.
