The award Rashford got was a 'buy off' from the government.
The lad, literally, became the leader of the opposition at one point, and fair play to him for that. But, by accepting the award he has diminished his own standing, and at the same time allowed a government, that voted to take food away from children, off the hook.
He may now have an mbe, but kids are still hungry.
He should have refused it until such time that legislation was introduced to eliminate child poverty and hunger in this country. THAT is what he could have achieved. But he took the bait and promptly stuck that moniker onto his twitter handle.
So, let's look at the upshot of it all.
1. Cunty Government get off the hook
2. Rushford gets an mbe
3. Utd bask in reflected holy glory
4. Kids are still hungry
5. Families are poorer
And the government state that Britain isn't a corrupt country? Everyone is corruptible in the right circumstances. Even St. Marcus.
