It confirms what we all thought.

No it confirms what some of us thought, the majority in here were happy to abuse those that didn't blindly follow the Rag/BBC propaganda.

What’s this.

I haven’t heard anything about it before.

I believe it did happen, but he doesn't like to talk about it.

'What happened to Gary Cooper? The strong, silent type.'

My take on it is that this is a well thought out PR campaign by the rag PR machine aided and abetted by the usual lap dogs in the media especially the albeeb and Silly Sally. St Marcus campaign began in the middle of lockdown when sport was quite rightly away from the public's attention and ensured the rags and their well cultivated reputation remained as high profile as possible. Interesting that St Marcus head of brand marketing is a good friend of Silly Sally and so I would assume that the success of such a campaign is beneficial for both parties which calls into question the impartiality of the albeeb. Finally, St Marcus grew up in Wythenshawe like myself and his description of his upbringing to date makes Oliver Twist's childhood look privileged. That being said no child in this country should go hungry but the responsibility for the feeding of your children is that of the parents and not the state.

And if the parents fail you’d let the children starve then?

A Dave Whelan leg break?

Get out of here.
His cricket career was sadly ruined by some obscure football injury he sustained.

It certainly got to a flying start from the blocks. One minute the Sainted One is asking generally on social media how to get involved and in less than a week he is 'signed up' by a local branch of a national charity, a letter signed by him on their headed paper and sent to Boris at a time he is fighting off a rebellion from his own bank benches on this very matter and provides Boris an escape route.
The week before, the BBC roared straight into action with a series of interviews at the shrine of St Marcus even over a weekend and even people from Fletcher Moss were brought in to say how good he was at an early age and how he watched football on TV at 18 months. One of these guys boasted was the youngest to attend the rags academy.
All this happened in less than a week and over a weekend too. It might have taken off under its own steam but it all seems too quick and too slick for me.
Rashford attended the rags academy living in digs. Somehow I dont see anyone who did that being hungry telling a story with the headlines 'I starved in the lodgings arranged by the Biggest Club in the World'.
Tomorrow's headlines: St Marcus feeds 5000 in Wythenshawe Park with just two Scotch Salmon and five fresh baked ciabatta'.

I think my 'no child in this country should go hungry' should answer that question. If a parent fails to feed their child then the state should step in that's why there is the benefit system.

i agree its the parents responsibility however there are a lot of low income families that have been fucked by the pandemic and dont have 2 pennys to rub together so we need to make sure kids are fed.

I don't disagree that children should be fed regardless of the feckless behaviour of their parents.

And the homeless, the ones about to be made homeless, those about to lose their jobs and their businesses. Should we help them? Perhaps Saint Sally of Broadcasting can show us what to do. Hopefully she will give us a sign tomorrow morning, I will be tuned in hoping, waiting, praying.
