A schoolboy has been suspended for 'crisp dealing' at a school which has banned fatty drinks and snacks.
In sign of pupil disgruntlement over school meal reforms spearheaded by TV chef Jamie Oliver, 12-year-old Joel Bradley was caught allegedly selling a packet of Discos at a marked-up price of 50p.
He was suspended from Liverpool's Cardinal Heenan High School because it was the second time he had been caught.
His father, Joe, said the boy had been 'victimised' for an enterprise which could earn him as much as £15 a day.
'I think the school has made a beeline for him because of what I've done,' he told the Liverpool Echo.
Mr Bradley, from Liverpool's Norris Green district, admitted he too had once been caught selling canned drinks, chocolate bars and crisps from a van outside the school - saying he was filling a void left by the closure of a local shop.

Nannyism. I oppose it whether it is good or bad. Junk food isn’t regulated at all at my kids private school, and yet it isn’t a problem. Hmmmm....

Probably about as far as the lady in the apartment building a half block from school that is selling weed. Roach Coach drivers routinely add high schools to their routes and have been for the past decade.
