    What a guy

    I could rage at the sordid opinions he's attracted ("FSM is not a true indicator of poverty" being one of the more irritating) but I prefer to think of the way he's shown that another way is possible, it's the simplicity with which he's shown that ordinary human decency still has a place in our public life. I couldn't think any more highly of him.

        Absoloutely. Kept the pressure on. Built a network. Spoken out about what free school meals meant to his mother and him.

        Hero.

          and as Brian Moore (who should know) points out- they'll be smiling in public whilst coming for him in any way they can

                  He's 22. he was born three months into the first Blair government.

                  The Tories have been in power since he was 11 years old.

                            Signed, because even though the Welsh Government are doing this in Wales, I don't want children in England going hungry. Unlike Tory cunts.

                                All this activism, all this community building and righteousness, and he's doing it with a Twitter background of him marmalising City. I fucking love him, me. Doing United, and Manchester proud.

                                  Reminds me of something I said elsewhere about Bourdain. "There's nothing more political than food. Who's eating and who isn't."

                                  His shows also illustrate that those in power are the least deserving of, and least capable of using it for good. And that all movements, be that culinary, musical, cultural, political, come from the people. We are where hope lies, and where the future lies.

                                  Marcus Rushford has shown this to be case yet again.

                                      Signed. North of 625,000 as of now.

                                      A part of me wonders what database the Government will put me on for doing so... GDPR be damned.

                                        What EIM said in his first post, obviously.

                                        He'll have my vote for our first elected head of state after we overthrow the monarchy. (Rashford, not EIM. No offence, EIM.)

                                          I'd vote for Eric's over Rashford, mind.

                                            EIM would bring a strong coat game to the state opening of Parliament. He could still do that however if President Rashford created an outerwear related ceremonial office for him, Big Coat or similar.

                                                  it's really important to keep the pressure on, the Tories clearly want this to replace the last vestiges of the welfare state- and normalise that the charity inspired by a 22 year old footballer replaces the statutory responsibility (that most Tories in the 70's and 90's would have accepted) of ensuring no child goes hungry.
