Don’t worry kids, there’s plenty to eat at MY house!
KIND Julian Maddock has offered hungry kiddies a “feast” at his house – just days after flintyhearted Tory MPs denied free tuck for starving tots.
Julian, of Biddulph, Staffs, said he was “horrified” when 322 Conservatives in Parliament voted against providing free school meals to low- income families over the holidays.
But rather than spew “Tory scum” on Twitter like many excitable leftards, single Julian decided to do something about it.
He said: “I went to the supermarket and got lots and lots of Pot Noodles, some lovely sliced bread, some fruit and, yes, a little bit of booze for the older kiddies – just to keep the cold out.
“Nothing to get them too giddy, of course.”
Julian, 56, who hit the headlines in 2012 when he was sensationally cleared of pervery after a playground swing- sniffing misunderstanding – added: “I’ve got my camera ready to take pictures of the kiddies as they enjoy all this free food.
“The delight on their innocent little faces is the only reward I seek.”
Julian was evasive about why he’d laid out the feast in the bedroom of his tidy terraced home but insisted: “My motives are entirely pure.”
One neighbour was less convinced of Julian’s motives. The neighbour, who asked not to be named, simply said “Nonce” when asked about Julian.
Boris Johnson’s party faced howls of outrage last week after voting down the Labour measure to extend free meals to underprivileged kids during school holidays.
The campaign for free meals has been spearheaded by Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford, who has vowed to continue representing vulnerable children.
Rashford, who was awarded an MBE for his work tackling food poverty, promised to keep up the fight and urged politicians to unite behind the effort.
Stigmatising
“Put aside all the noise, the digs, the party politics, and let’s focus on the reality. A significant number of children are going to bed tonight not only hungry but feeling like they do not matter because of comments that have been made today,” he wrote on Twitter.
“We must stop stigmatising, judging and pointing fingers. Our views are being clouded by political affiliation. This is not politics, this is humanity.”
