Well if you're intent on playing semantics, then no the govt do not feed me, they provide me with the means to feed myself. If I spend all my money on weed, should I get a free meal? What about if I have a dog? Should someone else feed my dog? Or perhaps someone should take the dog off me if I'm too irresponsible to put its needs ahead of my smoking habit.
I am obviously a supporter of welfare. What I don't support is unending welfare where the govt literally take on the duties of the parent.
UK welfare is already sufficient to feed children. The problem is parents. Children should not be going hungry in the UK, and if they are, then there are serious problems with the parenting that needs addressing.
