Because kids don’t deserve food if their parents have televisions? Or have you mustered up something better since I last read your thoughts of why tories are so gr8.

And Rashford IS a hero in so many eyes.

Im sure the government know better than us as terrifying as that sounds, Rashford is not a hero to me, a hero is is someone who puts their life on the line for people or animals , not a footballer with pots of money, his intentions are good ,no denying that but hero no, not imo.

Kids have been starving for the last decade Kaz. The tories had to be shamed into feeding them earlier in the year. Are you not able to put yourself in someone else's shoes without thinking feeding kids is an opportunity for their parents to get booze out of it?

'The system will be abused' Ah, already trying to paint the vulnerable as being lowlives for needing help. How vile.

It is frightening actually.
To me anyway..

I think I'll leave you to it though.
Pointless me to respond.

I think he’ll succeed in raising the problem to mainstream level and the general public will band together to try and help, but the help that will actually make a proper difference would be from the government and this government wouldn’t know compassion or empathy if it spat on their caviar and slapped their nannies.

Seems like unless you tow the left wing mantra "Rashford good, Government bad" you get vile verbal abuse and "cancelled"

Poor Guy Mowbray was attacked for a perfectly normal comment on tv introing the man u game v chelsea

"'He didn't get a win in Parliament, but he got the winner in Paris. Whether you agree with Marcus Rashford's causes or not, there's surely only admiration for his continued commitment.'"

see the link for the full story


DM top comments: In answer, I disagree with Rashfords causes. I work to feed my own children, not to feed some lazy work Dodgers children!

The parents of the hungry children are responsible for feeding them not Rashford not me and not with my taxes. The uk already spends far far too much on benefits for the lazy.

i called rashford a tit, and then people tried to justify him by naming hopkins and robinson as examples ... couldn't make it up

And yet you just did. Hopkins and robinson were used against Aristas idea that politics is only for politicians. Rashford doesn't need justifying; he's the one doing the right thing.

No I didn't. ..it was suggested that he shouldn't have a say on contemporary political issues because he's only a footballer. That's why I raised other non political figures who regularly comment on and are even invited on shows to discuss politics.

You could make it up because you are making up the intentions of my posts... maybe you'd like to clarify what makes him a tit to remove any confusion?

When footballers are out of touch they get criticised and when one goes out of their way to fight for a good cause they are called an annoying tit. Shouldn’t be surprised by the Tory base though.

Yup, unbelievable.

Footballers in general get such an unfair rep most of the time.

To be fair the PM has no obligation to keep in touch with Rashford, especially now the conversation has been taken up by almost everyone.

But Rashford should definitely be recognised for his initial role in it all.

I've been piss poor and if it weren't for my parents at the time my family would have starved. There is not lots of help available. Try living on 70 pounds a week and keeping bills paid as well. Its impossible.

Well there are benefits like Universal credits,tax credits gas and electric companies are pretty good with struggling customers and will let them pay by card etc, also very poor people will get full housing benefit,and full council tax exemptions, winter warm allowances, plus there is help with furnishing a house I found it hard but not impossible.we are pretty lucky to live here,in some countries you wouldnt get the same help.
