I'm not trying to defend the government, just pointing out the nonsense of it all, and that if it's supposed to be such a good idea, why hasn't it been done decades ago. I would've been saying the same things more than 10 years ago. My opinions didn't magically change in 2010, unlike for many people.
Benefit levels already include money for feeding the kids. As I have to keep pointing out, Labour did trying chucking money at the alleged problem, and it hasn't worked.
If you gave these parents £1m a day, they still wouldn't take responsibility for anything. They would just hand over some money to the kids and tell them to get something themselves.
Any neglect usually goes way beyond not feeding them, and has many forms.
