This is meant to last a week, and the people sending this out get paid £30 for each package. Open contempt for the poor, note the tuna in a money bag.

I still can't wrap my head around this. Why would this be better than direct relief per child? Are they that worried that poor people would get money?
My assumption it's just more privatization of what should be public functions. Whatever company is getting the 30 shillings, or whatever currency they have there, is just turning this into a profit making endeavor. A captive and hungry market. Happens in the states too. The school my wife teaches at outsourced their cooking to a private entity that provides shitty meals.
Thing is you don't even need to make a public function. Just give 30 pounds x4 a month per child in direct relief. Still no where near enough but that can cover food and even some clothing. This shit is fucking evil.
Some sort of supermarket voucher system was proposed, but then the government's donors and mates couldn't make a killing off of that.
Just give people money. Jesus it's that simple, I can't believe Canada is doing well in this regard, and there are fucking chuds and libs still screaming about govt handouts here.
Executives at Chartwells and Compass USA are Tory party donors and personal friends with people in the current government. It's corruption, pure and simple, with an added spiting of starving kids as a bonus.
The tories literally argued that parents would somehow trade vouchers for crack and prostitutes
