Other than Rashford himself crediting Sterling as being a forerunner you mean?

OK great, let's see the fucking sports media who kept silent while he was persecuted by the Sun and Mail pay their dues and maybe apologise for not siding with him the way they are Rashford? Acknowledge their sins? I still remember the same journalists who are so outspoken about this Mail article trying to argue there was nothing racist about how Sterling was covered and blaming him for playing into it by...buying his mum a house etc.

Instead of being acknowledged as someone who changed those attitudes, Sterling and the horrendous abuse he dealt with for years just seems to have been airbrushed from history now the Guardian sports desk and Gary Lineker have a second chance to show how great they are by sticking up for a black footballer getting unfair attacks.

Marcus is now launching a Book Club so kids can experience the escapism reading provides,which is very cool.

The report continues 'because Marcus had to prioritise food over books as a child'

This is getting too much now,pass me the fucking sick bucket.......

You miss the salient point. Many kids don't have parents with the ability to even budget so why punish children. They didn't choose to be born. It's mean spirited and misguided. The world is not perfect. I am not perfect.

If the parent was blowing all their UC cash or whatever other benefits they receive on drink drugs or whatever else it’s still no fault of the kids and a system should be in place so that children in this fucking country never ever go hungry. It’s a simple as this. It’s never the child’s fault.

Not sure Marcus would have had that choice really... his mum surely decided on putting food on the table before buying a book.

I don't believe a word of it pal.

He may have had it hard as a child,but so do millions and they get by.

I speak from experience......i had fuck all as a kid,free school meals,living in a cold,crumbling,house and dressed in hand me downs etc. My mum brought me and my brother up alone,with next to no income,but she always ensured we had an education.

There are libraries,charity shops etc.Books can always be sourced.
 
I’m against schools providing kids with meals out of term time, it doesn’t mean I’m against feeding kids before the usual go down that route. I do however think Rashford’s heart is very much in the right place and people should get off his back.

If the meals don't come out of a schools budget but instead are funded direct then I have no issue with feeding kids out of term times. Going by my Wife's two schools there are a hell of a lot of families that need help.
