However, they said they were"extremely concerned by the government's intention to stop providing free school meals to these children in the near future". Analysis by Oxford University's Migration Observatory, published on Friday, suggests more than 175,000 children in the UK are from NRPF families. Matthew Gold & Co Ltd. Solicitors has been instructed to challenge the eligibility criteria for free school meals.

Their income is no lower than mine, I suppose the tax payer will pick up the tab

WHY

Why?..... they have paid nothing into the economy .. just benefit leeches all of them

It's like a game of bingo reading through the comments on here! Do the BBC just post this sort of thing to wind up people who don't like foreigners?

if only to see Farages head explode

Agree 100% . Children so never suffer due to policy, cost or any other factor which prevents them being given a proper meal

I'd rather the money was spent sending migrants back to where they come from.

would extending meals not just make them fatter?

Maybe a prorata system where you don’t get full help until you have worked for x time, so yes free meals for kids but if accommodations are provided this cost is stored and needs to be paid back once a job is found, help yes more but hand out less

I have no issue with supporting people with free meals or help no matter where they are from but surely linking this to paying taxes would be fairer, someone who has served or been layed off has paid taxes and deserves more financial support then someone who has never paid in

What?

Not really a issue, most immigrants coming in now are leaving their wife's/kids back at home, never to see them again.

If they have a history of paying social security here surely? Otherwise system breaks-we it out more than we are putting in? Millions of families supported by furlough etc as they have paid in for years

Bugger migrant family’s

BBC race baiting again

I thought migrants contributed to the economy?

Don't have kids if you can't afford to at least feed them. It's your responsibility not the states / our taxes to pay for your offspring.

Definitely not if they want to live here they must work!!!!!

No, no, no.

Used to be a news channel.. now you just drip feed shite to the brain dead.

Migrants should get nothing. They should be returned to their country of origin prior to getting into the UK. We have enough to deal with without giving away more money.

Do you mean just low income families, otherwise this is racists !!

The free school meals is a joke. At our primary school we were told that if we opted out of a free school meal that the school would receive less funding.

Well there's a surprise, if your anything other than white British you get absolutely everything. Born in this country, white and pay taxes all your life you get jack shit.

Deduct the cost of the free school meals from the Child Benefit payment. That way the child benefits directly.

Was it not the chant...... “Margaret Thatcher the milk snatcher” I guess healthy kids well nourished may put less pressure on the nations health systems in later decades?

Stop click baiting racists! They foam at the mouth reading headlines like this.

Well I suppose they get everything else free including the TV. Whilst pensioners get robbed by the BBC Mafia.

ALL people who cannot feed themselves should be helped! That is the first characteristic of a humane society.

& low income UK families

Why should I be forced to pay to feed the kids of irresponsible migrants, and what would their income be used for instead? TV, car, booze, sent to family abroad?

If a family income is only benefits money, then it's income hasn't changed. So no. If a family member have been on furlough, then yes.

shit stirring BBC will you exempt them from paying for your sickening tv licence

Good well done

No!!

If you breed them you should feed them

Come on in.... it’s great here, everything is freeeeeee.... stop the benefits and goodies and perhaps it will slow down... we are too easy.

They can all afford a fucking phone.

The replies on here make me feel sick. How has this country become so intolerant with openly far right views mainstream?

This should be for ALL families struggling to make ends meet ...

Hello

divisive report to build hatred. Shame on your cheap reports.

Keep stirring the school dinner pot bbc

this is racist thinking

Parents should be entirely responsible for feeding their offspring. You can't feed 'em - then don't breed 'em End Child Allowance - no species needs to be bribed to breed and Earth has too many humans: it's the elephant in the room for every environmental catastrophe we create

I am fed up with this country being held to ransom.

Atleast they won't be hungry at their wedding then...

Why do the BBC forever act like poor white working class children don’t exist. Do you ever stop painting migrants and Bame folk as victims.

..we are all broke....

..and tv license scrapped...

I thought all asylum seekers nd those with less income, already getting this benefit

Children should never ever suffer no matter what.

Still sucking from the nation’s teat, BBC?

If there are British families in the same economic situation, they should get free school meals too.Why do some want to favour migrants over the citizens already here? It is blatantly unfair to help migrants whilst disregarding struggles of British families in same position.

No cos These migrants are benefit hunters and milking our welfare system on every levels!no wonder why we’ve been invaded by these opportunists cos they want everything for free!Disgraceful😏🧐🤔👎👎👎👎👎👎🤯🤯🤯

Ok, will add this BAME channel campaign to the list....

10DowningStreet needs to be told that leaving kids to starve is immoral so BorisJohnson morality on schoolkids takes a dive into the child abusing history of conservatives

Anybody voluntarily funding this bullshit by paying the licence fee is probably on a watchlist or two!

If you aren’t able to afford your child’s lunch for school, then why are you in this country? The benefit system shouldn’t be available to anyone who has moved to this country.

Isn’t this racist though? At what point does grouping people by race or immigration status and treating them differently cross the line. Because I think this is definitely it

Where is all this money coming from ? Haven’t we officially hit a recession 🤷🏼‍♀️. I can only assume that our taxes will go through the roof to pay for everything . Please correct me if I’m wrong 🤔

If they live here they should be treated as any other family deserving of free school meals,

You post this stuff to wind people up. Honestly, why?

Top Gammon Baiting championship begins! And here... we... go!

The gammons aren’t gonna like this lol
