Holiday Hunger

This is the first day writing about holiday hunger. I woke up worrying about it last week. I started a petition on 38degrees. They are an organisation who do petitions. It was way to late. Many schools broke up on Friday. Today is the first day of the summer holiday. I’m kicking myself. Why didn’t I start this months ago. Ive got 29people signed it. Mostly friends and friends of friends. I want five million. I don’t have that many friends. I figure if Boris Johnson is our new prime minister it might make him act. I don’t know. I feel helpless. Today I have eaten breakfast. A full English breakfast in an expenive cafe. £7.95. My friend paid for it. I had a cafe late with that. £2.95. I think. It is good to eat. The expensive cafe means the food is good quality. In a cheeper cafe it would be less good quality. You can taste the difference. Since then I have eaten two choclait digestives. Mcvitties. Not the cheaper own brand digestives. They taste very good.

I feel strongly about this issue. I hate the idea of anyone going hungry. I wonder how strongly i feel about this. What am I prepered to do? So far I have started a petition, spoken to people I am close to, written to the BBC, written to a journalist I met once and written to Frank Field. He is a labour MP who has done a lot of work on holiday hunger poverty. I like the sound of Frank Field. I am going to write to my MP next. I also will circulate it to more people I know. I’m trying to think of all the possible people I know who I could send it to. I feel very strongly about this. No child (or adult) should go hungry in this country. Thank you.
