Marcus Rashford

[animallittle3]

I think Rashford's letter is also about what's coming down the road has we get hit with a huge recession .

Whilst the government have protected millions of jobs and supported business throughout this pandemic this isn't free money .

What they have done is to pay the country's mortgage using a credit card , the billions they have borrowed will have to be paid back .

This is when things are going to get tough and as ever it will be those just scraping by who will be the one's affected the most .

Taxes will have to go up but you most definitely won't see any improvement in public services , jobs are going to be hard to get so pay increases will be at a minimum and companies just looking to survive .

If houses start getting repossessed and negative equity kicks in then we are really up against it .

Could be the worst I've seen and I've been through a few .

“ It contextualised the concern
Surprisingly when the news broke there will have been millions who would not know of Marcus Rashford as not everbody is a football fan”

Then the correct headline would have been “Footballer Marcus Rashford............” irrelevant that he is Black.

Just imagine the impact .......”White footballer Jordan Pickford .......”............

It was Rashford who described himself as black & coming from Wythenshawe
Do you have some problem with that?

Absolutely. Wasn’t relevant. Plenty of Chinese, Asian, and Polish kids are in Poverty and need help. The Black bit was an obvious attempt to squeeze the emotion out of the current climate. And if you think any other then I’m sorry Exile, you really cannot see what’s in front of you and therefore, although your opinion matters just as much as mine, I disagree and won’t debate it further. We ha e different views, and for me it’s not about “winning the arguement”

Government have done a U Turn on free school meals so well done to Marcus and his campaign .

[SBRed48]

Boris ez just sed at the Press Conference that he wasn't even aware of the Marcus Rashford campaign until this morning so, according to Boris, the U Turn on providing free school meals ovva the summer, ed nowt to do with that campaign and was down to, as sooin as Boris heard the arguments, he did the reyt thing and changed the policy. I, for one, believe what Boris sed cos he has just sed it to the nation.
All this Rashford stuff is irrelevant. It's all down to Boris.

(One curious thing abart this is yesterday a No10 spokesman said Boris had received his letter and would speak to him tomorrow--- the spokesman must be confused)

Hasn't that got Dominic Cummings all over it
Knock knock,come in Dom
This Rashford bloke has put our policy in the brown stuff
Any suggestions Dom
Simples just say that you had never heard of him or his campaign, thereby making it look that the decision was yours unsolicited
Brilliant Dom & very Trumpesque
& all those Tory MP's screaming for you to change the policy will be embarrassed to have ever doubted you
It was the right decision to keep you on
Well done as I think the British public are thick

Am not as cynical as thee Ziles.

Boris wouldn't look straight into the camera and tell us summat that wont reyt. He is the PM after all.

Rashford's done more good in the last 24 hours than Johnson's done in his entire life .

That's not even mentioning the £20m Marcus has raised with his food distribution scheme since the lockdown began .

He certainly has. A young lad who has done his bit. No question about his efforts. Result for Rashford.
Boris was Probably behind the letter all the time, I reckon it was a set up. "Listen Rashy..."We need a deflection tactic" something that'll make it look like we listen to people of colour, and take notice...... might just calm things down "
How do you fancy being a hero, you are already doing plenty but ....... What you do is .......
