Marcus Rashford - School Meals Vouchers Campaign

Marcus’ solution is to demand the state (taxpayers) to take responsibility for feeding kids. A left wing idea.

But it’s not his solution is it…it’s the solution of Roc Nation, Marcus isn’t even writing his own tweets let alone forming complex ideas.

Before anyone tell me that RN is just a sports agent, why did they spend vast amounts of their own money bailing out BLM protestors?

How is wanting the state to feed kids leftie?

Should be neutral.

HTH.

Yes, those feckless and/or poor parents just jolly well buck their ideas up.

Let those kids go hungry I say. That’ll learn ‘em!

Can you feed my kids too? And clothe them obviously, school shoes don't come cheap. A bigger house and chuck in some laptops? Regardless of whether you can afford your own kids.

Sweet, I'll knock some more out until I get a footballer.

I'm sorry are you not able to feed them?

In which case yes, we should try to help.

I can't really believe that you could have a classmate of your child who was hungry and being poorly looked after and just say: well it's not my kid, but if he gets a £5 hand out then mine should have one too!

Have you not met kids that are in poverty or need?

No compassion...for kids? Not their fault that their parents are not able to provide...or should we just do a collective shrug?

RASHFORD READY TO MAKE HISTORY AGAIN

Not bad for a lad apparently controlled by shadowy puppet masters

You do realise that an *honorary* degree involves zero effort or ability by the person getting it? You could award one to a turnip if you felt like it would generate enough publicity.

Oxford University refused to give one to Margaret Thatcher in 1985 despite it requiring zero effort or ability

It's like a fake Rolex...

They did manage the 'generate publicity' bit though for even less cost than giving the bit of paper so successful on that front.

That all sounds lovely.

Given his background I think it's a fantastic achievement tbh.

I'm more impressed by the achievements of people from the same background who get an actual Oxford degree, instead of one for their management company's tweets.

You might be more impressed - but what do you think of Marcus Rashford? A guy that has come from a poor background to play football for England and then try to help other children from similar backgrounds. He's a good bloke isn't he?

I'm not sure why MR seems to attract so many petty and snide comments on here. When did advocating for the welfare of others become a "bad" thing?

something something virtue signalling, something something champagne socialist.

I think those are fantastic achievements too.

The two aren't mutually exclusive.

[pquinn]

Oh look the usual team of underemployed have turned up.

Someone pushed getting an honorary degree as some sort of fantastic personal achievement, some of us are less impressed. The rest of what he gets up to for a job or in his spare time has nothing to do with that.

I doubt it. We would probably then have accusations that they were given some kind of unfair advantage, or that the University was virtue signalling, or that it was down to positive discrimination which is RACIST!!!! or some other bs......

"Underemployed"? Is everyone that posts on PH underemployed? I thought we are all high-powered company directors.

Here’s a link to a story that shows the lad has a big media team behind him and probably gets a lot of guidance and coaching on almost everything he does, and he certainly doesn’t write his own tweets:

I think that's a good thing. Especially with all of trolls who are waiting in the wings to clobber anyone they dont like.

Especially footballers:
