Utter scum goes without saying, but thick as pigshit too, Rashford will speak up again and they will back down, again.

Indeed, in fact there is no more easily understood demonstration of their absolute incompetence that (at least as far as I am aware) none of them have suggested paying for free school meals by taxing a small percentage of Premier League player's wages.

Possibly a dodgy slope, taxing specific professions, although I would doubt many would object, if only on a PR tip. But the costs of this are fucking peanuts compared to the wedge sloshing around right now, ffs they are going to give employers £1000 for every employee they don’t make redundant between end of furlough next week and January. £1000 will encourage exactly zero employers not to make people redundant, but a grand a head is there for the taking, kids can go hungry though. Wankers.

Maybe just tax very high earners, which would include Premiership players. Oh hang on, that would also include the Tories' mates.

Seem Marcus Rashford's statements and activity has hit a chord with many people, not only of colour but also white working class and people from that background!
Just been discussing this in class with background from one of my Youth & Community Lecturers Articles!

Steph Green explores talking to young people about poverty

Across the decade and more of the In Defence of Youth Work web site, we have tried erratically to include posts entitled, ‘Talking to Young People about…..’. In doing so we have s…

Did monstrous mediocrity Steve Baker really invoke Quantitative Easing and the Currency when wading in on this? Hasten the day when working class liberation machines * are working over time in Whitehall.

*guillotines.

It's the 'oh some parents abuse the system' comments that piss me off the most, I'm sure they do, people are shit, but because say even 10% of parents take school meals or vouchers and they could afford to feed the kids is that worth penalising the other 90%? Surely even if 60% (and I don't believe it's that high) of the parents took the piss we still want to feed the other 40%?

I'd go so far as to say even in the extremely unlikely event that 99% took the piss we must still feed the other 1%.

I can't imagine any parent would choose to not feed their children. If the situation is that they can't, whatever the reason, it is the obligation of the rest of us to help the children.

Fuck it just offer a free breakfast at school for every kid, get those canteens open early. Put a bunch of books in the corner to.

Too sensible

It's not just kids either.

That is so, so hartbreaking

There's no magic money tree for 'free' meals, you know...

I can’t write a coherent response to that. I’m too angry that this is happening and kids are going hungry. I’m not even starting on my anger at all the hungry and homeless who are being ignored.

How did my MP vote on Marcus Rashford's plea for free school meals

How did my MP vote on Marcus Rashford's plea for free school meals

Every single one a Tory, except one who was expelled from the vermin in July.

And this will rumble on and grow and grow as before and they will back down and look like the utter cunts that they are, again. They just don't care. I notice my MP (born to some fucking admiral and schooled at Charterhouse, so like Rashford he knows hard times) voted to keep poor kids hungry, interested to know he's not the only Hunt on the Tory benches, there is also a Tom Hunt. A pair of hunts.

 

[Espresso]

The MPs - who are all on more money than any of the parents whose kids qualify for free school meals - get subsidised meals. Because, you know, they can't afford London prices for a fucking sandwich at their desk from Pret a Manger.

 

[eatmorecheese]

Evisceration would be best, I think. Draw out their intestines with a rusty blade.

Not really. Just fucking furious right now.

They don't know what hunger is. They've never had to refuse their kids food because there isn't enough. Never had to watch their kids attainment at school suffer because if the gnawing distraction of hunger. 2020. The normalised shit of our failing economic model, and not just in the UK.

Barbarism. Create a pernicious dependency, then blame the victims.

CUNTS

They already do. Google Magic Breakfast.

It’s not often I like the Mirror, but for this I do.

Steve Baker is one of the MPs around here. Complete ideological obsessive Brexit fanatic

 

[frogwoman]

On the same lines as DotCommunist's favourite Tory Phil Hollobone.

 

[DotCommunist]

yeah I don't even need to check how he voted on this one, he's a cunts cunt. Its never just the one thing is it, like one particular obsession, they have to be a full spectrum arsehole

"Take down" Rashford? What fucking planet are they on? That's one battle they'll never win. Stupid, thick and nasty.

Exactly. Rashford doesn't care about party bullshit, he's so clearly on the side of decency that anyone arguing against him just looks like a massive cunt. Seriously quite astonished that 332 MPs couldn't see just how shitty this looks. If ever there was an argument for getting rid of them, here it is.

Fifteen poxy quid a week to feed a child, less than a steak and fish 'n chips in the taxpayer subsidised dining room in the House of Commons.
