Marcus Rashford lobbying govt to help vulnerable children

[Kirkstall Blue]

Regardless who he plays for or who penned the letter for him, it is still a wake up call for me to put poverty at the top of my list when voting in the next election.

No child should go hungry or starve in 2020, they can’t concentrate in school or achieve their potential if they are starving.

Good man!

Credit to the lad, fighting a good cause for people in need.

No rag lover but fair play to the lad job well done

 

[Don Karleone]

Well done Daniel

 

[Ric]

Well done Daniel

You’d think when he’s effectively doing their job for them that they’d at least have the decency to get his name correct.

Sad indictment of society and parenting that we need this measure.

This the bit that is often missed; there are some families out there that have fallen on hard times and need help but there are some real ****s of parents.
Not that the kids don't need help and it's fine treating the symptoms but we need to break the cycle.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I've just softened a wee bit towards Marcus's effortswhen I see KH wading into something of which she will have little understanding. Good on City for making the point- if the lady wants to look hot in sky blue then buy a fuckin shirt!

Just watched his interview on BBC Breakfast.

An absolute geezer.

Rashford for PM.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

The cynics amongst us will be for given for thinking he's 'Doing a Wio'....he's feathering his nest for future episodes of Celebrity Sewing Bee, Celebrity Masterchef, Celebrity Tipping Point and of course ' I'm a Celebrity Get Me out of here'. He's not as stupid as he looks....;)

In any society there is need for a safety net. At this time, doubly so.

Sums it up for me. Some issues much bigger than football allegiances.

Silly Sally and the BBC pushed their own involvement by intervewing him on Sunday night and what they achieved over 5 days.

The charities involved in fighting for kids on a daily basis should be getting some credit for their efforts.

I am not going to criticise Rashford but the praise in the media is a little over the top. Firstly, he has only been interviewed and said that school meals should be given, blah blah blah. I just wonder when he took his hand out of his pocket, how much did he contribute. Now think of Craig Bellamy and what he did for under privileged kids and how much hard cash he handed over. Then try to think what coverage he received. Just a little perspective needed here.

Update; Manchester City and Rashford team up with a slam dunk exchange.

Love this. Fucking skank that she is.

 

[purplenose]

I cannot believe there are those knocking him. Well done to the lad. It will be a pleasure to cheer him on when he has an England shirt on, maybe even a rag one when they play Liverpool. At all other times for 90mins a couple of times a week he well remain a massive ****, but at all other times a top young man who is very clearly wired right and a thoroughly decent human being.

I hope he does pull the right shirt on one day.

Their HQ in Seattle is some building.

Is that the one that looks like a bubble?

Several bubbles.

The railway station interior was more impressive to me. Airy and graceful and then you look at Piccadilly.....

Good on the young fella. Seems like a decent bloke despite playing for those ****s.
