What an absolute top young lad, I wonder if he has a future in politics, to be this involved and making a real difference to families in a time of crisis, putting the government to shame and at such a young age, a truly impressive man.
Very impressive young man.
A great advert for anyone to follow, not just the young.
Some people on social media REALLY don't like him though.
What is there not to like about Marcus Rashford? Among his many talents is, as far as I'm aware, maintaining a neutrality when it comes to party politics which shames so many of his elders, myself included.
I can think of three groups of people who would have an issue with Rashford - first, those who think he is making life awkward for the UK Government, second rabid anti Man United fans and third people who don't like the colour of his skin.
On the first of those, I'll try to emulate Marcus Rashford, by not getting party political and observe that it is incredibly bad politics for any party to have got themselves into a position where they are seen, rightly or wrongly, to have denied children of the poorest families the chance of free meals. The implication of voting the way so many did this week is that they think Rashford's campaign is wrong and the overwhelming majority of the country appear to disagree with that view - as I say, incredibly bad politics.
I certainly don't fit into any of those categories you elude to. Campaigns brought to mainstream attention via a celebrity are always going to put any government on a hiding to nothing, whatever the merits of the case. The govt. gave him an MBE within what seemed like days, yet Jimmy Greaves, arguably the best ever goalscorer in English football and is 80+ and very poorly, gets sweet F.all
What shall we spend money on?
Thousands of pounds on a water cannon which can't be used legally in the UK - yes.
A billion pound bribe to the DUP - yes.
Millions of pounds to different companies who have not produced PPE previously, who cannot produce PPE to required standards - yes.
Feeding hungry children during a pandemic? There is no magic money tree, sorry.
He’s class. He’s got councils and businesses and football clubs across the country coming together to ensure kids are being fed during half term. Putting the government to shame.
