Marcus Rashford lobbying govt to help vulnerable children

I struggle to see how anyone can have anything negative to say about this. Excellent initiative that I'm sure many vulnerable children will benefit greatly from. If I was a Mancunian, I'd be proud to have someone like Rashford actively trying to help the vulnerable children in my city.
 
Can someone explain how the free school meal system works? Presumably a family has to fall below a certain household income or be in receipt of certain benefits. What happens each summer when school finishes?
 
Football really is the modern day opiate for the masses when you've got people who are so blinkered they can't see beyond club rivalries to support making the government responsible for ending fucking child hunger of all things.

For me it is nothing to do with club rivalry. just how do you end this child hunger ? Soon the state will be expected to provide 3 meals a day. Rashfords letter is about meals during the holidays, are the kids just wandering the streets for 12 hours ? whether you agree with food banks or not, are we saying that parents cannot afford to provide a basic meal for their offspring, seriously ?
I grew up in the 60's when nobody I knew had any money, I never went without food even if it was beans on toast.
