Marcus Rashford

[the other bob wilson]

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?

[Dorcus]

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.

Well done to you JR, I'm going to do the same

Exactly Bob, why exceptionally well paid people should be awarded gongs for just doing their jobs I'll never know

[Croesy Blue]

Shows how partisan politics has become, can anyone give me a good reason for underprivileged kids not getting fed?

Just because you vote for someone it doesn’t mean you have to defend everything they do.

This is a great idea

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.

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Great to see a local MP sticking to his guns and voting against the bill in Alun Cairns. This the same bloke who recently claimed MP expenses for buying the Sunday Sun, Sunday Telegraph, The Mail on Sunday, Daily Telegraph, The Sun and The Daily Mail.

Wonder if he’s sabotaged any rape cases recently?

Cairns is a rotter

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

as expense claims go that sounds pretty reasonable to me

He's claimed for far more than that in his time

If there's something going , he's sniffing

Some really pleasant views on Italian people too

I am not surprised he is happy to leave Europe

You never see tories out on the streets marching against child poverty , cuts to the NHS etc

Cairns is a rotter

He is a cnut

[Jordi Culé]

He is a cnut

Succinct but fair.

Ben Bradley dojng his best to out cuunt him mind.

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

He is a cnut

If the labour party get a decent candidate in for the next election he will be toast

Fantastic, the Tories walk head first into ridicule and Squires takes full advantage

Excellent piece. And a timely reminder that we are moving into Poppy outrage fortnight.

[Feedback]

Probably those with gammon tendencies who say "Some of my best friends are black"

labradors don't count

[Feedback]

They don’t. You’ve got to admire his stance and passion for supporting that cause though?

If he’s been shagging your missus, then I get your apparent dislike to him?

he's no Kevin McNaughton that's for sure

Heartening to see some tory mps standing up against the government on this issue

But they will soon all fall in line

And become tories again

[the other bob wilson]

I still find it hard to figure out how the Government have got themselves into such a mess about this;-

1% tax on footballers weekly wages I say how much will that bring in

We may all enter this void soon
