The fact that your contribution to a thread about how Marcus Rashford is a good person for trying to help underprivileged kids is how unfair it is that Jimmy Greaves didn't get an MBE is pretty mad tbh

I can only think some people dislike the public admiration of this young man because they hate the piss poor government of their choice being shown up for it's callousness.

You’re being unfair on the likes of Quiet Monkfish there. I’ve no doubt a mature adult would be able to acknowledge the cruelty and unfairness of the governments policy, which leads me to the conclusion he’s happy with the fact that kids will be going hungry.

Rob is there anywhere in town that’s accepting Xmas presents for under privelaged children? Do the food bank take Xmas presents? Me and the missus have decided to spend a bit less on the girls this year and buy a few gifts for the poor. I got to be honest it’s the likes of Marcus Rashford that have made me think more of doing this kind of thing. How anyone could dislike him for trying to do his best to feed hungry children is mind boggling.

Feeding hungry children during a pandemic? There is no magic money tree, sorry.

And the Garden Bridge - £43m of public money spaffed against the wall!

There'll be a number of shoe box appeals about and I'd imagine collection points in Merthyr with Samaritans and Salvation Army do the national ones. The council usually have a scheme to although I'm not sure how the pandemic has affected that? Always a decent cause and I'm no lover of the happy clapper brigades.

Perhaps I'm being a little facetious about people wanting kids to go hungry. I cant believe anyone would be that big of a cuunt. Apart from 320 Tory MPs who obviously are.

The UK honours and awards system needs reviewing. People shouldn't get awards just for doing a job for which they are often handsomely paid or because of a political party they belong to and should be about selfless acts to help others such as volunteering or using their celebrity status to help worthwhile causes.

The earlier comparison with Jimmy Greaves didn't work for me because, surely, Marcus Rashford's award was more for about non footballing matters than footballing ones?

When you vote Tory you vote for this sort of thing. I can’t see why people are surprised that child hunger is not a concern of theirs.

Alternatively, just get the Tories to stop lying about what they've given councils in terms of money for FSM and approve the bill.

Radical loony lefty idea, I know.
