celebs should never ever be taken seriously when it comes to any other matter than the one they actually excel at, be it football or acting etc.
No I dont want a fucking actor, raised by actors, isolated from society telling me how to vote or what to think about economics. Same goes for footballers. These people are not normal in any sense of the word nor do they have any understanding of the world they live in so sheltered.
I generally agree with you but just playing devil's advocate, I think Rashford used his voice and position well to make good effective change.
There's definitely positive examples yes. But by golly are they rare and mostly something we can only judge on the surface. Geniunely appreciate Rashys work a lot but I'm saddened he even has to do that level of advocating for such a no brainer
Yeah you'd think starving children = bad is a fairly easy position for all of us to get behind.
But Tories gonna Tory.
Wasn't there a Tory who grew up on free lunches and decided to remove the ladder once he reached the top?
Several.
It's because they're cunts.
That's why university fees exist aswell.
Tories: "We have to leave the EU to take care of our own."
Starving British kids: "So does that mean we'll finally have food?"
Tories: "Eww, no, fuck off."
Mom can I have Brexit?
To provide food for starving children?
Yeeeees
Actually dismantles NHS like a boss

Entire leave campaign should be in prison for treason. It wasn't up for debate whether the country would be worse off economically, it was a fact, one which every credible economist confirmed.
The greatest victory of the populist right wing over the last 20 years has beento equate being told things about certain topics by someone with experience and knowledge in the field with being called a racist/idiot
Just when I think the rage I have over Brexit subsides this image brings it right back. Thank you very much
When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist. - Hélder Câmara
Depends if you think it's the government's job to feed kids or their parents. 13 years of Labour government seemed to think it was the latter. As did Labour and SNP administrations in Wales and Scotland until they saw opportunities to look good.
This is hugely simplistic and you don't understand the issue. It's more about the level of control that a government has over the people and the liberties offered to them
