He is fine spending other peoples money just not his own.

No I am helping people with acquired brain injury, is that as important ? How do we know ? When I last spoke to the taxman I had to carry on paying tax perhaps if I did what Saint Marcus did with his tax affairs........

If you were successfully rallying people to pay for other people's brain surgeries then I wouldn't be arsed if you paid your share or not.

As usual, the bigger picture seems to be completely written off because people desperately want to find something to complain about.

Bearing in mind some of that is the tax he deliberately didn't pay the government I don't see the relevance. The point I am making and many others.
He is telling the government how to spend the money raised from taxes whilst deliberately paying as little as possible himself.

That totally misses the point. Thousands of people give time energy and money into helping charities. They do not have a successful PR team behind them to rally other people to pay for 'things' nor a 400k a week salary but they do not get to choose how much tax to avoid paying whilst demanding the government spend more.
I call it two faced and I would call anyone else who did it the same.

Again, I'm simply not arsed.

If some kids in need of help are getting to eat because of the work he's done then that's the important thing, as far as I'm concerned. I'll leave others to squabble about who paid what because it seemed like nobody was willing to foot the bill at all beforehand.

It’s legal though and all people who get a big wedge will have a very good accountant to look for these loop holes!

I'll wait until firm news comes out about Sir Marcus Of The Shires before I take a leak on his shrine.

For what it's worth I think Rashford is a genuine bloke who's motivation was the kids. He just happens to benefit from having a very good PR team around him.

Got him the quickest gong ever and smoke blowing media coverage. Perhaps City should be talking to his PR machine.
