Nice homophobic slur. Bold on a yellow.

You said ‘don’t have a kid unless you can afford one’. It is literally what you said. People’s situations change and sometimes it’s not of their own doing. A lot of families have had their lives turned upside down this year and have lost jobs and hours working not because they’re ‘uneducated’, as the always eloquent and sympathetic Hrolf has suggested, but because we’re in a sh*t situation as a country.

No one knows what life has in store for them. We’re in a position now that no one alive in this country has probably been in before. Wanting to make sure hungry kids are fed where parents might not have the means to themselves is just a basic human decency isn’t it?


Again Dan, this is literally not what I spoke about.

I’m talking about parents choosing to have children when they can’t afford to.

Nothing at all about people’s circumstances changing.

Congratulations on the pending by the way. Being a parent is pretty much the most rewarding thing ever.

What do you mean up yours. Blokes doing a fine job and is a proper role model. He is showing a lead as he should. Someone in the limelight like him should show what morality looks like.

A bit bleeding different from the current politician group and its advisors.

I'm joking. Don't mind him having opinions at all.

Right, so you go ahead and issue condoms and then stop immigration, get people to stop gambling, smoking and drinking unless they earn at least £40k a year or don't have children. I don't really disagree.

Meanwhile, how about showing a modicum of thought for children. Innocents. Hungry, sad, likely cold. Babies, toddlers, primary school kids, early teens with the weight of the world on their shoulders. Just like Rashford when he was young. How about that eh? I believe you are almost unique in having never once shown an ounce of humanity in your posts. Now is the time.

Get over yourself Maple. I take care of the people closest to me. If a lot of the other halfwits you excuse did the same, we wouldn't have such a problem in 21st century Britain.
I am not foolish enough to think that I can take responsibility for every hungry mouth on the planet.
If people like you get your way, the problems now will pale compared to Britain in 100 years.

It's called budgeting dan.
There is a difference between want and need.
Many want these vouchers but dont actually need them. Sadly HMG has or goes above and beyond with benefits. If it was means tested the number needing these meals would be a lot lower. How many self employed cook their books as I know a few and it is a majority I can tell you. As they say the pen is mightier than the sword.

How come the people in agreement with Rashford aren't demanding that he pays more tax? He earns over 3 (THREE) times the average salary EVERY WEEK!* A 1% increase in football players tax would cover this issue. Or, in line with the virtue signalling, how about they offer it?

*And I mean trousers that much

Why the f*** should he have to pay for it? He’s already done more for children in poverty than any actual politician, and you think it’s his job to do even more, because he’s well-employed?

The obsession with ‘virtue-signalling’ is bordering on bizarre - how much of a contribution towards stopping children starving would Rashford have to make before you believed his concern was genuine? Have you seen anything to suggest it’s not genuine?


At which point will people hold politicians to account - open your f***ing eyes.

Do you not recognise that people can afford to and then circumstances change? I remember my dad being made redundant when I was young and things we suddenly went on to free school meals but he was too proud to properly explain why.

And thanks. Looking forward to it (and a little bit petrified)

I get your point, but who budgets for a pandemic? I think a lot of people live pay check to pay check, even people on decent money. Where we are now isn’t normal times.

He does. He pays it into the charity he set up, voluntarily. FareShare. And also Players Together. Oh, and the charity he set up for Christmas Homelessness. Should have done more by now of course, he is 22. I am sure you had by that age.

Fair but I was being specific. In any other year how did the kids eat, out of term time.
