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. Yes, he's partnered with and donated to FareShare, as well as worked hard to draw in close to 20 million pounds in financial and food donations. He has to do none of this and should be applauded for his efforts.

Yes, I didn’t think you would. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. You feel this constant desire to appear virtuous because it makes you feel better about yourself. I do not suffer from that kind of conceit. Now desist with your insinuations.

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.

Now desist with your insinuations. I make no insinuations. I am perfectly clear. In your posts you show zero thought for any other person. There is no sign you care about anyone other than yourself. What is worse you vilify those that do care, using soppy labels like virtue signalling. It is you that posts to make yourself feel better. You appear to live in a grey world without love and to want everyone else to suffer the same experience. That is extraordinarily sad. One day I hope you will show some empathy but if you can’t even care about small children going hungry in England it is hard to see what may touch upon any small spark of kindness you may once have had.

Makes me laugh how all the anti-Tories all scream about taxing the rich, but when it gets mentioned about someone they agree with, it's all ok. "He pays enough tax. He has a charity." f***ing hipocrites!

That’s interesting. What is his tax bill? At least he spends large swathes of his apparently tax free income by setting up and running charities. Seems to be cutting out the middle man. So yes, it IS his own money he is spending.

But to ask the public to fund the feckless is outrageous, given his privilege*. If he asked the rest of the British football players to chip in, say, 1% of their wages, don't you think that would be fairer than asking the whole country to suffer more debt and austerity? *Ohhh. Bad word....

The public is on low wages, in case you didn't notice. The same government, and opposition are intent on shutting the country down. Whilst his 'job' is gold plated. No furlough, no reduced wage, no 'work from home', no change whatsoever. But he wants to make us pay some more. When he could afford it more readily.

What is happening now is inspiring. Companies and individuals, many who are really struggling, are coming together to pick up the tab where the government refused. While many are saying that times are tough, you can only afford to look after yourself, many more are saying that we have a responsibility to protect the most vulnerable. Britain at it's best.
If punk ever happened I'd be preaching the law, instead of listenin to Lydon lecture BBC4 |

When he could afford it more readily. 7% of people in the UK are in deep poverty. 4.5m including 1.3m children. 3.9m children live in poverty and a total of 14.4m people,10.7m of whom are white. So not some kind of imported underclass. But half of those live in a family with someone that is disabled. The Covid 19 pandemic has had a disproportionate effect on those people already in poverty compared to everyone else. Historically 72,000 children a year are looked after by local authorities. I blame the children who chose to be born into a family where someone then went on to become disabled I also blame footballers for not feeding 1.3million children, what were they thinking? All figures from the Social Metrics Commission.
