Marcus Rashford 09:21 - Jun 7 with 1284 viewseastangliaisblue

Sorry if this has been posted already. Only just found out that during lockdown, Marcus Rashford has raised 20 million pounds. He has teamed up with a food charity to raise it, which has now fed over 2.8 million children with meals.

Well done that man.

And the knighthood is where exactly?

Ah - the mysterious daveU doesn't think raising that sort of sum for charity doesn't deserve recognition.

Best rescind another knighthood recently given then.

That’s an odd comment.


I think the chances of a high profile, successful sportsperson who also does massive charitable work *not* getting recognised during his lifetime are slim to none. He is a prime candidate.

Poor effort.

That's impressive, well done that man.

And he doesn't seem to have sought publicity for it, which also reflects well on him as a human being.

It's not such an odd comment. Both are acts of humility. But one happened to be someone who would tick the boxes of our populist government's core support of True Patriots. If anyone thinks Sir Tom Moore was knighted solely for his fundraising efforts, they're as daft as a brush.

Obviously they are both amazing efforts though, irrespective of the difference in political exploitation.

Well done to Mr Rashford, but the more important question is why millions of British kids have to rely on schools for food instead of their families.

Indeed. It's a complete disgrace that children in the fifth biggest economy in the world have to be given charity hand outs to eat. I didn't really want to get into that, was just highlighting what Rashford has done.
