Absolutely, a proper role model for players and fans alike.
Yes well done Marcus RashfordQuote:

Brilliant.
Also, people listen to famous people. A lot more of them could do and say things publicly to help.
Brilliant outcome - and well done to Marcus Rashford.
Although it is a sad comment on modern politics and celebrity culture that it takes a Premier League footballer to get the government to change its position - when weeks of the same demand from opposition (and a few Tory) politicians, teachers and other professionals got no movement at all. In fact they got the Grant Shapps treatment - which was insult to injury!
Politics is ****ing rotten.Quote:

Marcus Rashford
I dare say the U-turn has come about today because of the flippant comment made / tweeted to Rashford by a member of the cabinet yesterday.Quote:

She voted against same sex marriage and a bill to make private rented accommodation for for human habitation . Shes a landlord .
Now we need to address the conditions that have allowed so many families in this country to get into a position where they can't afford to feed their families.
10 years of tory austerity where the rich have got richer and paid less and less tax
Marcus has appeared on various programmes over the last six months or so and spoken on various subjects. I have to say he comes across as a very decent chap indeed. Other so called celebrities take note.
Marina Hyde spot on again;-

I'm just going to put this out there, my daughter's mother has always been very good with her money, she hasn't worked since she had her (varying reasons that's her business) she manages her money well and when I'd visit when my daughter was younger the house was spotless, she always had what she needed and there was always food there, she doesn't drink a lot or go out but she smokes. She's since married so there's obviously more money going into the house, but she also has 2 more kids and a step kid to spread their money on..they manage to go on holidays every year abroad and have short breaks at home as well, run 2 cars etc..Quote:

I'm not saying that is cut and dry and I realise people struggle, people have debts and poor people seem to pay more for things like TVs and furniture as they can't buy it straight up, but they all get the same money just some spend it better.
And yes, I am absolutely glad there are things such as free school dinners to help people out
Weird that they lend other people money to go shopping yet their own kids go without, why don’t they spend the money on their own family instead of lending it to others?Quote:

Quite sad. We used to get a knock on the door when I was a kid, someone would hand a note over from their parents asking for money for school for them the day after (think it was 2.50 each at the time round here) amazingly the parents would have already been to the shop and got their cans on for the night. My parents never drank in the house, they'd go elsewhere on a weekend now and again to do that..I don't get the whole 7 days a week drinking thing when you've got kids in the house.Quote:

People should ignore her. Even if you've got a really good point to murder her with..just don't write it..don't retweet the **** etc and her platform goes away. She survives off angry replies and retweets etc calling her all the names under the sun. There's an American one as well Tomi Lahren..she gets her arse handed to her time after time on twitter but she carries on because attention is attention.Quote:
