Yeah but there is no limit on reposting this news

The thing is, surely it doesn’t make sense for the government to try to bury this decision? Most people are with Rashford on this, so better to let the country know you’ve finally done the right thing than people not being aware you have?
I mean, people thinking ‘the government are cunts but albeit too late they have finally agreed to reverse their decision’ is better than people thinking ‘the government are cunts and are still not agreeing to this, and it will cause extra hardship to countless people’

Who am I to say you're wrong
It is about the U turn. It was obvious from the first campaign that people were not happy about kids going hungry but to oppose it first & try to justify it over half term makes them look even bigger cunts when they now have to change policy. All those plates left at tory HQs served their purpose.

That's the smallest 'luxury home' I've seen in a while.What could be the difference?

I think the homes in total are worth 2 million, not each home is 2 million.
But the headlines to make people upset so.

5 houses for £2m doesn't sound like anything one would expect to be described as "luxury". It sounds as if it's probably not far off the average price for a 3 bed semi.

They're suggesting that he bought them off the back of his campaigning that severely embarrassed their govt and that must be avenged. A disgusting smear. That he's black is an added bonus to them i suppose. That's just about as naked as what Raheem Sterling faced - but very few others. How odd.

You'd probably get like 2, maybe 3 houses for that much in the South East. If the one in the photo is the most luxurious one they can find he's being pretty subdued with his spending.

Can't say I'm happy he's a landlord but there is literally no other way to save fucking money or invest in this country unless you want to stick your head in the stock market and get it chewed off by wankers.
Also rank hypocrisy from the Mail with its billion pound owners who all own chunks of Britain and get it taxed offshore.

Been expecting this for a while tbh. Mail in thinly disguised racist bullshit shocker
Lord Camomile
Yipchaa!
Frankly, I'd like to know what the fuck NHS Million were doing sharing Mail stories already
I follow 'em on Twitter, don't think I've ever seen them share a Mail article before.Yeah, as has already been said previously, ultimately he is still a multi-millionaire so some of the things he does are never gonna match the ideals of those on urban, but he's certainly one of the least objectionable out there and as you say, the rank hypocrisy is very evident and far more objectionable.

They are replying to Marcus tweet which has the mail screenshot in it.
Lord Camomile
Yipchaa!
Aye, but they say "We think they are an utter disgrace and will not be sharing any of their articles in future" - which rather implies they have in the past.

If nothing else, the fact that these cunts are trying to undermine Rashford in this way is a clear signal that Someone doesn't like what he's doing. It's a badge of honour, even if it smells of bile.

Hardly a shocker this.
Greasy, racist, manipulative, offshore tax dodging filthy rag. Clickbait headlines written to inflame the left and anger up the happily retired racists who want to hate young/foreign people while their comfortable lives continue without trouble or worry.

It’s possible to think:
1. Marcus Rashford has done a good thing by campaigning around food poverty.
2. That the DM are scum whose horror at one landlord is entirely bogus and generated by racism and more directly a hit job on behalf of the Tories. A quick scan of their output with reveal that not all landlords are held to the same - or even any - ethical standards, and;
3. That Rashford is grotesquely overpaid and is exploiting his wealth, adding to it via renting out property to making money off the back of people who pay rent to him.
He’s got a conscience and a class background that marks him out amongst other multi millionaires. But like all multi millionaires his conscience has its contingencies

Have you seen the figures and letting contracts?
Should he play for Man Utd on minimum wage so he is 'valid' to you?
Because capitalism is broken should all people earning a certain wage stop spending it?
What have you/we done about the school meals issue? Signed an online petition? Retweeted something? Moaned to a mate about the Tories while having a joint?

He actively supported the Liverpool Dockers though. What did you do for them? Sign a petition? Go on a demo? Have ‘a joint’?
