Most liked posts in thread: Marcus Rashford

Don't care which team you support (politics or football), this is a first rate case of using your position and by association, the platform it gives you for the greater good. Read the BBC last night and was impressed with how he stated his case. Just seen now the policy has been "changed". I also liked the comments Johnson made too. Well done Marcus Rashford.

 

Comes from actual horrible experience of what it’s like to grow up in poverty, unlike those at the top who could never claim that, good on him, using his profile for good. Top bloke.


Oh..but wait a minute, he once bought an expensive car, and has a terrible taste in clothes..Nope, not having it, he should stick to football

 

They could throw up temporary buildings easily with the right organisation but who would staff it? If it were up to me I'd have the schools back tomorrow with 100% of pupils in but it's not and it won't be for some time. I think if they were to change the 2metre rule to 1 metre we'll be heading that way but until then it is what it is.

 

I've seen this story knocking around Twitter. Seems a nice lad that wants to put something back. The people he wants to help are innocent children, entirely blameless for the situation they were born into. These children are the future of our country. It's in the country's interest for them to be of healthy body and mind and this can only help this, especially in these particularly challenging times. Who would deny these children a leg up? Who would happily see them go without? Who would argue against this even though it will have absolutely zero impact on his/her life right now?

I wondered that before opening the thread already knowing the answer.

 

What you would call a result.
I dont think it has been mentioned on here but Rashford is part of a fund raising charity that has raised approx £20 million.
Another ten million and he'll be in for a knighthood.

 

The Bulingdon Bantams will be weeping into their beers at the Brexit Arms tonight.

 

The councils were given over the last few months 3.2 billion pounds For extra spending . On top of that they received 62 million designed for free school meals.

 

Would happily see kids go hungry. Says it all.

 

Great news all round, well done to you Mr Rashford. Brilliant to see a role model like this emerging for kids to aspire to, both as a footballer and a human being. Good on you lad.

I saw him play for England at Elland Road just before the last World Cup. He blew me away. He was outstanding. Now, bear in mind that I was used to seeing Kai Brunker play at the time, but still.....

 

yes but I am also realistic. After working in retail and seeing what is bought with cards issued by the government for essentials

 

@How , real representation in power ?. Who would you suggest ?.

 

Thats the main Problem , very few in the current house of commons have emerged from what could be called the treadmill of " normal ""( whatever that means ) life . The vast majority come from a legal or media job , they are mainly university educatated , there can never be a true section of society with the voting system we operate .

 

I'm also concerned regarding 12-15 year olds missing a vital part of their educational future . According to stats less than 1% are doing any course work , keeping children fed is paramount , but so is their education . Everyman and his dog seem intent on putting obsticles in the way of a return to school . The future of kids is being used like a shuttle *@?$ , with irrational views on both sides of the political spectrum and by the unions . If we can have Nightingale units up and running within a month there is no reason IMHO why the same can't be done for schools .

 

Too right...
