    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.

    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 we is the country. As the 6th richest nation on earth. We have developed far enough to be able to afford these things. As much as it disgusts you to spend money on other people

    The problem is Tony, you and they need to see the bigger picture. Rashford was a free school meal kid and will now contribute more tax than you and I probably will in our lifetimes about 10 times over. Maybe not you if you’ve been lucky enough in your career but certainly me.
    Another example just from Rashfords tweet is carol vorderman who stated she was a free school meals kid and she is now a millionaire I think. Again paying a hell of a lot more back than it will have cost to feed her back then.

    It’s about giving all children a fair chance because they can go on and become viral contributors to our future. They can concentrate on their education and their future without the worry where the next meal will come from. It’s really that simple for some kids. Why anyone is begrudging them that and can’t see the benefits of it for all is baffling.

    We are in a day and age of such food waste too and we cannot feed the kids we have in this country. It’s definitely the right thing to do

    With me it's just how much of this 'free' money actually gets to the kids though ?
    The balance between state help and personal responsibility is getting wider.....

    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.

    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.....

    Now all they have to do is put some sort of controls on what the money is spent on.

    Do away with the triple lock on pensions. That will be welcomed by the Bulingdon Bantams, I'm sure.
