Marcus Rashford lobbying govt to help vulnerable children

[The Northern Baptist]

There are some issues we should all be able to agree on, we should be able to find a consensus on the direction of travel, even if we can’t agree on the route we should take.

No child going hungry should be one of them. Unfortunately we’ve got some right wing ghouls in this country who would happily see kids go hungry. These are the sort of ppl who say we should stop foreign aid and look after our own as well.

Great to see Marcus distributing the contents of Luke Shaw's fridge

I support Rashford in his campaign. Fair play to the lad to try and use his fame to do good things. Fuck MBE shit as that is colonial nonsense. Some non hungry people might take advantage but who cares. They haven't been raping the country like the city of London.

Anyone surprised? Seen her twitter page and she looks like she’s backtracking faster than Otamendi....

Poverty and the measuring thereof is a complex issue. Sloganising does not help, but both left and right are guilty of it.
An introduction to the subject and what is being done to make matters clearer can be found here.

That would keep an African country going for weeks.

It is so typically callous and uncaring of Boris Johnson and his government that they wilfully let children go hungry as we speak. It is no surprise at all.

I totally support Marcus Rashford in this. He is admirable in doing this and keeping this in the spotlight. Total respect.

Not going to be on the shortlist for sports personality of the year apparently. That's a shame as I had a fiver on him winning it at 11/4. Its a public vote so he'd have romped it had he been on the list (let's be honest as a rag he'd have romped a public vote even if he hadn't done anything worthwhile).

What is a shame is that Rashford will have inspired a lot of other footballers and Celebs who have the wealth to make a difference - many won’t come forward or have to act anonymously as otherwise they will be labelled as ‘jumping on the bandwagon’ ‘only doing it for PR’ etc.
