 🍽️🇬🇧In a country where schoolkids unwrap soggy ham sandwiches and mystery meat bites for lunch, a curious phenomenon has emerged: immigration as the new all-inclusive holiday. Yes, welcome to the UK, where children are told to “make do” with budget-bin lunches, while certain asylum-seeker hotels are apparently serving up spreads that wouldn’t look out of place on a cruise ship buffet line.

🍤🧒 The Great British Kids-Get-Nothing Scheme

Let’s get one thing straight: British school meals are often about as appetising as a pothole pie. Teachers quietly top up hungry children’s lunch cards, while food banks now have snack sections because little Alfie hasn’t had fruit since the Jubilee. Meanwhile, in a parallel culinary universe, hotels housing migrants are reported to offer full buffets, three square meals a day, and—if TikTok is to be believed—everything short of a chocolate fountain.

This isn’t outrage over compassion—it’s outrage over imbalance. We’ve got working families rationing beans, but we’re footing hotel bills for folks who haven’t even received a work permit. The government’s idea of fairness? Children get Turkey Twizzlers; newcomers get tikka masala on tap.

You’d think feeding British kids properly might be a national priority. But apparently, unless they arrive via dinghy, their lunch is subject to budget constraints and ideological gymnastics.

Of course, not every migrant is living in luxury—but the perception problem is real. And when optics scream “buffets for the jobless, crumbs for the taxpaying,” it’s no wonder people are mad enough to butter a brick and eat that instead.

Why are our own kids treated like second-class snackers? Why does the welfare state bend over backwards for hotel contracts but forget the school canteen? Sound off in the blog comments—don’t let Facebook steal all the fury.
