Inappropriate joke
Perhaps he can concentrate a bit more on his football seeing as he’s struggled this season. Stay out of the politics.
Rashford | takes on the government over free meals for kids - and wins

Well done lad. The amount of families hes helped by being sensible and brave to speak out when he doesnt have to.
The only shame is a 22 year old has more sense than the old fogies in charge.

The lad is on his way to knighthood at this rate!
Been incredibly impressed by all his work and efforts during the quarantine period, truly has been inspirational coming from a young lad in his position

If I speak @Rozay
Fair play to the lad he did it - great stuff.
Get in there. Take a bow Marcus you absolute hero.
Huge, man. What an achievement from Rashford.
Can't wait for the crowd to cheer him on Friday, oh wait!
Are you for real? Rashford before his injury was on course to score at least 25 goals this season.

Anyway me in USA can support Rashford? Does he sell anything with his brand? Does he have somewhere one could donate?
Wow, he actually pulled it off. Absolute legend. Daily Mail and The Sun are going to be fuming. I can already see the headlines whenever he has a bad game.
Politicians should be checked by every corner of society, especially those with a large following.
Great work from Rashford.
He can literally never play for United again and still be one of the greatest. What a man.
Good post. We saw how footballers were hounded to donate to the NHS at the peak of the pandemic and now that a footballer is using his platform to address a social issue you get the odd few debby downers accusing him of being performative or saying that he should ‘focus on football’.
Good player,greater person.
Loving having those types at the club

Perhaps you can pipe down considering the season has been on hold during a global pandemic which has also caused kids to go hungry.
Player uses platform to do social good. World wins.
What a lad. What he's done should transcend football, at least for a few weeks. With so little good news these days, just give us this one.

The idea that anyone should 'stay out of politics' is ludicrous in a democratic society where everyone is able to vote.
What did @Niall say?
He's wumming.
Absolutely. Put himself out there for a worthy cause he obviously believes in.
The sad thing is, the government only listened because they couldn't claim Rashford was looking out for his own self interest. They don't listen to poorer voices!
Brilliant! He's dead right of course. I didn't need free school meals myself but did have a significant part of my childhood impacted by needing government help to pay for food and bills. I knew a lot of other kids who did get end up getting school meals and many went on to be upstanding, positive members of society - good jobs, etc. This whole initiative is brilliant because it's indicative of the fact that many children may grow up in less than ideal situations but that it shouldn't reflect on them or make them fall behind their peers (a sad fact we face in this class-ridden country).
I was thinking before that the next time we play at Old Trafford he'll get one hell of a reaction, but then I remembered there's no fans!
To be honest, considering what he's done, he may have got a nice reaction at Spurs on Friday had there been fans.

No. Did he say no wumming?
The people who parrot crap like that sound like they'd prefer being in North Korea or somewhere you're not allowed to speak up for anything.
In a democracy everyone is entitled to an opinion along with sharing said opinion
Ha indeed, if I speak!
He is having his best season yet, even though he missed 11-12 matches due to injury.
Well done to the lad, absolute hero for all those children. The u turn was inevitable after this caught so much traction.
Legend on and off the field! Keep up the good work!
And a name on honours list.
Hope he keeps it going, it doesn't end here.
An astonishing achievement. Fantastic.
Really? In terms of stats he’s having his best season and became an important player. And on top of that he’s done a fantastic thing for society. How can you find a negative?
Didn’t I fecking tell ye he’s better than Mbappe! The man is the greatest human being alive!
hehe
hehe
Absolutely astounding work from him. Shaming and embarrassing the government into a u-turn (which they pretty much said was impossible yesterday). Great work from him and he deserves so much plaudits
Will be surprised if he doesn’t win sports personality of the year.
Must be on a wind up!
