Petition Introduce legislation so that standard rate taxpayers who do NOT have children in school having free meals can themselves get a free meal in a school.

More details

Elderly taxpayers are ALREADY paying for 646 MPs and their extended families and friends to eat when they do so at the MPs (taxpayer funded) second home. We cannot be expected to stand back and feed hundreds of thousands of other people's children (the majority of whom are in households where the tax free income is at least GBP26,000.00p which is exponentially more money than many hundreds of thousands of elderly people have in their pockets after tax). Elderly taxpayers MUST NOT be expected to pay to feed people on more net income when they already cannot afford to feed themselves on their AFTER TAX income.
