Marcus Rashford lobbying govt to help vulnerable children

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.
At what age did Sir Marcus of Wythenshawe join the baby Rags ? There is no way at all that they would have allowed him or anyone to go hungry.
All baby Rags are educated at Ashton on Mersey High School, one of the best state schools in Manchester, even though living in Wythenshawe meant he was not zoned for there (thereby depriving a Trafford kid a place !) and they have plenty of books.

Or are we saying this all happened before he was 11 ?

It is PR at its finest. The Rags are skint and the Glazers getting slagged off, lets wheel out Rashford to feed the poor. The Rags are still getting slagged off as it is now revealed the Glazers took circa 8 million from the cash strapped club, ok lets wheel out Marcus and give him a book.

Exactly,its all contrived nonsense.

You honestly believe uniteds owners are making Rashford do these things to avoid the bad PR on the way the club is run?

He's not really doing anything is he ?
Someone collects him from Carrington, drives him to Eccles, gives him a yellow vest and a face mask and tells him to load the back of a Cortina with some bags.
It is hardly driving a 4 tonne truck laden with essential supplies through Africa until you get to Sudan.
 
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.
That’s what the welfare system is designed for, schools shouldn’t be feeding kids out of term it’s not their role. Books are now a talking point what next?

Kids need a lot of things maybe we can all hand over a list to the headteacher/headmistress at the beginning of the year. If a kid is going hungry then either the welfare state is failing or some parents are or a likely mixture of both.
If the state aren’t providing enough welfare then they should, if parents aren’t feeding their kids and they are capable it’s abuse. When did we ignore abuse or when did schools become parents?

Doing more than you though I bet.

We have ignored abuse for decades just ask anyone from Rotherham, Rochdale, Oldham ect. Children are not protected in this country the social services are not fit for purpose. My mum and dad literally had to take my smackhead sisters kids off her as she was neglecting them. Social services were no where to be seen.

As a temp measure during the pandemic they should feed the children out of term, after that they need to seriously fund and expand social services to it can crack down on child neglect.

No argument about social services, this temporary measure during a pandemic? You see what happens when it’s taken away after. Will all kids have stopped being hungry then? If the answer is no why would you let less kids starve? You see this is how it works. It’s Pandora’s box.

The govt will get pelters regardless.

Aye I see both sides of it, some parents will take advantage of the fact the government will feed their kids regardless of what money they are paid. But on the flipside for the amount it would cost per year to not let any child be at risk of going hungry is a worthy investment in society.
