Sometimes they can't because it could be one parent with three children. Do you know how hard it is to look after three kids by yourself. You've got to work harder and sometimes it's difficult to pay for the bills. That's why free school meals mean so much to single parents.

Marcus Rashford has gone on a great length about his "starving" years when he was younger. He was born in 1997 when Labour were in power (from 1997 - 2010) so for the first years of his life, he was starving under Labour .... remember Labour did not advocate and refused free school meals when presented by MP's ! So 2010-2015 it was a coalition government but by this time Marcus would be 18 and in football academy which begs the question about fitness, diet and performance - he can't have been the bad to be accepted !
Pretty sure he had his meals paid for by the club at one point, and while you're right in that he suffered under a Labour government, it's undeniable that the Tories have suffocated public funding for the past 10 years and voted against giving kids food because 'we give money anyway'. This isn't about point scoring by slagging off the other party, this is about rich guys who have gone all their lives believing poor people are stupid and lazy voting to let poor kids starve.
Dear Lisa. Does it matter if Marcus Rashford was hungry when he was a kid? His work right now is too honest for someone who is lying about his past. Also, the problem in question is not whether Marcus Rashford was hungry or not, the problem is feeding young children who will go hungry during the winter months because the schools that they used to go to is closed because of COVID. what he's doing right now is good work, and deserves to be appreciated.
@@rahulpanicker1453 - indeed he is doing good. But he could channel it in a different way - get communities together to help out like mine where all the mothers donated food and met up (socially distanced, masks etc) at the local infant school and made up packed lunches. * Instead he choses to sit and write to the Government who are already helping out. Giving school meal vouchers in May half-term this year didn't work out..... Asda and the supermarkets reported the mothers were attempting to use the vouchers to buy fags, booze etc so instead, the Government have topped up Universal Credit payments to those that need it most and have given extra Hardship Funding to local Councils to combat free school meals . Where will it all end ? will it be free clothes, free shoes, free housing , free....... and at the end of the day, it is ME, the hard-working tax payer who ends up paying for it all * we made enough packed lunches to feed a small army and even though posters were made up and stuck to everything in sight, a total of 2 children turned up - where were all the starving children?
Saying you have to work with local authorities is a joke as it controlled from Westminster also, why not control it through the school system. I had to explain to my Australian wife that elected local councils do not generate and spent their own rates money, let alone spend it on projects like this! I realise now why I work with others from my home town who emigrated +30 years after me, for the same reason. All of whom are doing well possibly because of the drive to do better or just being glad to have gotten out of the socially divided place, that makes what is a well off country for the rich SO POOR for the rest! NSW in Oz .
This government should be totally ashamed of themselves. They need to stop acting like spoit brats and govern for the people and not putting the rich and money first.
What are you doing today to better your self tomorrow? The Pandemic(Covid-19) has shown us how important it is NOT to only depend on your job for financial security. its important now than ever to find other ways to bring in income and build wealth.

You can reach me via the comment box or send me a friend request let’s make the best of whatever we can.
When have the Tories cared about poor children who are hungry or poor people in general? The answer is never the Tories have never gave a toss about the poor, homeless, and hungry children.
I’m sorry but why are kids going without food??? How can any parent not feed their child?? If you are on low income you get top ups by government and if you don’t work the government pays you enough to feed and pay your bills and if your lucky give you a council house!

@@MartinJames389 so what evidence do you have that children can't get basic necessities? And well everyone has the opportunity to play apart in society the education and health system is free.
Go on Google. Read the interview with Marcus Rashford in March with GQ Magazine. He didn't go home for his dinners because he was out with his mates. Read it.
It's up to Parents to feed there Children not the Government . The State provides meals during term time. The problem is people rely so much now on the State that they can't take responsibility even for their own kids . If parents can't feed them they are not fit to be parents in the first place.
Rashford does because it directly affected him growing up. He does care about the children in this country, can't say the same for those MPs that voted against the motion. this country often prides itself on being one of the largest economies on the planet yet it can't feed it's own.
Private schools are charities.........”they provide benefit to the public” !!! As such school fees are exempt from VAT.The public pay the school fees of military families.The tax rebates between 2017-22are estimated to be £522 million. Tell me again....the Govt can’t afford it !
Yay, free school lunches. Now what do your children want for Christmas & yes I am available to babysit New Year’s Eve so you can go out & party!! Ffs, take responsibility for your choice to have kids!!!
What??? Have we forgotten the MPs Expenses Scandal (which was cross party) so soon that we are okay with them getting any pay rise at all....especially with children going hungry???
Tories need to pull up their big girl pants, they called us scum, stop faffing around, and just back the children of England, Our Wales Minster did it, Scotland did,Ireland did, And thank you Marcus for speaking up for the children all children👏👏👏
Morgan, sits talking about what the 'Labour party want' to deflect from how it's actually about what Tories want, or rather don't want - in this case providing care and support to vulnerable citizens (Nationalising children as Baker put it). At least this 80 seat majority is showing them up for what they really are. Finally, shall we discuss how these inequality issues rose in the first place? Absolute shower, anyone voting for this lot should be ashamed.
My unpopular opinion is that it’s the parents responsibility to feed their children. Of course there are cases where children need help but maybe parents should stop buying cigarettes, alcohol, iPhones and nice clothes and feed their children. It’s about priorities and taking personal responsibility. It’s too easy to ask the state to act as the parent!
Its commenable what Rashford has achieved but there are an awful lot of volunteers that have been helping people and children in many ways for years......its become popular because he is a footballer and in the limelight....
He did... he's partnered with youth centres, has raised £20m for charities to help provide food for children and he was working with food banks so that kids got food.
I agree with Marcus’s fight but it might not be a bad idea for him to have a word with his colleagues in the premier league who between them all earn in the region of £54,000,000 per WEEK if they contributed just 1% to the children’s cause it would help enormously. I understand we shouldn’t have a charity to pay for children’s meals but at this desperate time a donation from these extremely overpaid sportsmen would be very well received and very useful.
It is the governments responsibility, not private citizens. Charity is only there when there is a failure of government. More charities is actually a bad thing.
Premier League players paid 1.1billion in tax. If only the government won't handing that over to their mates, they could easily spend that on these hungry kids.
As the government have paid out £213. Billion on the COVID situation, with £35. Billion in furlough payments I think it’s difficult to say they haven’t been over and above with support. It’s more than any other European country, so let’s not have a memory loss on what’s been done so far. It’s true that we shouldn’t rely on charities to pay things like this but the net take home pay for just the premier league players is 1.7 billion and I think if Marcus wants to really do something,and I’m sure he does, it wouldn’t hurt to get a meeting together and ask for a 1% donation. It wouldn’t break the players bank and 17 million pounds would help the cause no end and frankly would put the players in a good light. Everybody wins.
So, if I understand this correctly....the government spent £00s of millions of pounds on Eat Out to Help Out, and subsidises meals in the Palace of Westminster to the tune of almost £3m/annum, but can't find £20m for schoolkids' foods. Nice. I used to think that Nicky Morgan was a decent person. Not so sure anymore.
If a child is hungry,that is indicative of the family's hunger,food banks where families can collect items to put meals together may be a solution,this means the family can all have nutrition.
I have witnessed individuals receiving food parcels, sorting through them and throwing away the bits away they don’t like, do you do that if your hungry
We are being run by public school buffoons. Where is the voice of reason. I was lucky in my primary years to get free school meals as standard with the IDEA but the Tories abolished that with the GLC back in the 80's. Since then cheap meals were the norm in secondary school. I do feel for these kids and if I could and had the money I would help them out. Shame on this government.
Rashford has experienced it first hand so he’s fighting for the future of this country so we all need to back him. This government don’t live in the real world they have everything handed to them and need nocking down a few pegs they need to remember they work for us tax payers as civil servants not the other way around can’t believe this is actually a topic that is under debate.
A short-term fix is needed because we have starving child RIGHT now but we also need a comprehensive for the long because it will just get worse. I feel like the GOV has been out-done by a 21 Footballer and they don't want to undermine themselves with the a u-turn.
There will not be a single Tory MP (never mind the Government) who has ever known what it is like to worry about their next meal. The fact that they are from privileged backgrounds and most have had empathy bypass operations is no excuse.
@@millhilljimjimmy6731 Ah yes because Tory austerity has clearly lifted everyone out of poverty and financial instability with their obsession with balancing the books. What's that? A rise in homelessness? More people in relative poverty? Well if Labour was in power of course it would all be so much worse.
I know parents who were really happy with their free school meal vouchers, 1st lockdown. Expensively educated politicians: *"Let them eat council tax reminders"*
The real victim here is the poor person who was called scum. Wow, what a travesty! These peasants need a damn good thrashing to learn their place! Don't talk back to your betters!
First off you need a phone if you are unemployed, literally a requirement, if you don't have one the job centre will not be pleased about it (and they'll use any reason they can to take away your jobseeker's allowance, which despite what some like to make out, isn't a lot or enough to live off) and you also need a phone to get interviews because people need to contact you. Secondly parents give their kids phones so that they can call them in emergencies, which makes sense (my family it was once you walk to school by yourself you have a phone, this also taught use and the next generation of my family how to look after things and how to manage finances as we only had a limited number of calls and texts a month, so they also work as a good learning tool). Thirdly they aren't expensive, you can get contracts that cost you £10 a month and cover everything. So phones are really wasting money but a necessary item in modern society.
@@Ball_Chat_FC I got most of my jobs by asking direct, and I am not the one begging or name calling. I also donate to charities and the food bank every time I shop. Just personal choice, not from being made to feel guilty. The state does far too much. The likes of Rashford should pitch in with some of their obscene earnings without being lauded for it.
That's not even a good argument. Those children didn't choose to have parents who can't feed them , we live in one of the riches countries in the world and we can't feed starving children??? It's UTTER madness The government failed in protecting jobs for thousands in this country and families all over Britain at no fault of there own are unable to feed their children It's the governments duty to fix that problem and feed them And how can you even agure this You don't believe we should feed starving children WHO DIDN'T CHOSE TO STARVE when we live in one of the RICHES COUNTRIES ON EARTH!

Its not the responsibility of the general public to pay for other people's children, especially when they already have universal credit, child support and other benefits to support this.
By that logic, it's also not the responsbility of the general public to look after other people's parents and grandparents. So we should scrap your pensions and throw you out onto the streets when you turn old and senile. Ah, Britain. The only nation with people who are as thick as Nicki Minaj's ass.

@@seesidesummerhouse6112 do you know how much people actually get from benefits? Also yeah the other persons point was valid, on the same reasoning we shouldn't be paying for your pension, as it's not the responsibility of the public to pay for other people's parents and grandparents. For a start they should have been rich and if they aren't well then it's their fault and problem for not having loads of money. So I take it that you won't be taking out a government pension and instead relying on your family to support you? Why should the general public support your wellbeing?
@@seesidesummerhouse6112 I know a few parents who are starving themselves to feed their children. They lost jobs in this pandemic and are struggling to find work. They have been in work and contributing tax their entires lives and now they can't even afford to put food on their kid's tables. Were they the failures or were they failed by the system? But let me ask you this: If universal benefits are that good and you are responsible enough to manage the money, why don't we scrap pensions and carehomes and put you all on the dole instead? We could also use the carehomes to setup food and cooking centres for the children in communities so they can learn how to cook for themselves. Surely, it'd be a stupid idea for you to not jump on the dole if you are so responsible with your circumstances. Let's scrap your pensions and put you all on the dole.
The answer to the question is, yes, yes he does. Marcus can relate to the struggles people have, but these career politicians can't. Neither Conservatives or Labour deserve any credit here, but i give full credit to Marcus here, who has defeated the government into submission. We live in an age where billionaires are making millions upon millions, and where MPs(including Labour) are enjoying salary increases. So i think it's time to stop supporting these politicians, and perhaps a grassroots people's uprising is needed in this country.

Nicky Morgan is such a self-serving woman.
Heartless cow.
The labour MP was right, these Tories are scum.
Step down as mp to spend more time with family liar less than 6 months back on the gravy train in the house of losers
Good to see that the general public seems pretty unified against the tories on this one - its pretty indefensible
I'm not
It is not the government's job to feed your children.
Parents already get support through social services and child benefit.
@@Land-of-reason what is the job of the government in your opinion?
The UK is amongst the worst in Europe regarding food insecurity and food poverty - this is the fault of the government because of the regular cuts to welfare and the high cost of living due to land privatisation and minimum wage laws
@@Land-of-reason so you agree with the social saftey net? But what if that social saftey net is underfunded? As it is in this country?
@@localkauf - no it's not. Look at your local news / papers. Loads of churches, village halls reporting tons of sandwiches, fruit etc being wasted as these "starving" children did not attend to pick up the food. My local infant school laid on a feast and I mean a feast after printing posters off advising where children could come for free lunches - 2 people turned up...... 2 ! Where does it stop ? free clothes next , free rent ?
I love millennials, I grew up in the 90’s which premiership player of time did anything like this? Not retired footballer but 22 year old footballer at the beginning of his career.
Maybe because he ''earns'' £10 MILLION per year.
Best help he could offer is to pay more tax.
Won't his fellow footballers be so very pleased about that.
@@lennylaa1686 He raised £20million by himself for the kids the first time round, thats 2 years graft, and he’s keeping those crooks in government on their toes. What more do you want?
This is pathetic just feed them there shouldn't even be a vote just do it
"Scum" is mild language by Angela Rayner's standards. Nye Bevan called the Tories "lower than vermin".
So, just to be clear, because a labour MP called a tory MP scum... they are going to act like scum. Makes sense
IF it looks like scum smells like scum and votes like scum in the house of commons it is what it is
@@philipdear224 You sure it's not a duck??
philip dear get a grip your losing it
Err, yep😂😁😁😂
The mask is slipping
Most MP's have never come close to going hungry, the house of commons is too similar the house of lords, there's nothing common about the people sat in there, makes no sense any more
Yes
Nuff said
*Enough
They call us scum, we will starve them. -Tory manifesto.

If poverty is rife and kids are going hungry, then what is the point of even having a country? That's the future of the country being undernourished. Investing in the kids is investing in the future. The better the kids do, the better the country will do.
The Tories: when you're more concerned about name-calling than children eating.
Are you now trying to tell us that the goriest are eating children
Fiona Bruce: Nicky in 2017 you supported legislation which would give the poorest children on free school meals is this a good luck for the government.
Nicky Morgan: um well I think the Labour Party got more supporters yesterday but I think the motion would have passed if the deputy Labour leader hadn't called one of my constituents scum. 8:45
Fiona Bruce: but that's not really the point now is it?
Nicky: UMMM Um
me: so basically the government didn't want to pass a motion because they got their little icle feeling hurt hurt? 😂😂😂 they just mad they got exposed for who they really are scumbags in suits if they think that was hurtful boys howdy they wouldn't like to see what some of the public calls them.
I grew up in South Africa (currently 35 so going back some years...) on powdered milk..one pack of butter or the likeness of had to last at least 2 weeks.. We had nothing like the UK free meals or anything...BUT christ on a bike help the kids...they did NOTHING to deserve being shat on by people with more money than sense. I try to maintain that people...most people are decent good folk that just wana go about their lives and yet somehow always end up getting screwed...why is that ?
Go on yourself, Marcus! Top lad.
It bad mind that parents are not feeding their kids
Sometimes they can't because it could be one parent with three children. Do you know how hard it is to look after three kids by yourself. You've got to work harder and sometimes it's difficult to pay for the bills. That's why free school meals mean so much to single parents.
@@damarwilliams2451 to true i was from a single parent my mom died when I was 4 and sometimes had free school meals that was in the early 60s wish we could have had them in the holidays
Marcus Rashford has gone on a great length about his "starving" years when he was younger. He was born in 1997 when Labour were in power (from 1997 - 2010) so for the first years of his life, he was starving under Labour .... remember Labour did not advocate and refused free school meals when presented by MP's ! So 2010-2015 it was a coalition government but by this time Marcus would be 18 and in football academy which begs the question about fitness, diet and performance - he can't have been the bad to be accepted !
Pretty sure he had his meals paid for by the club at one point, and while you're right in that he suffered under a Labour government, it's undeniable that the Tories have suffocated public funding for the past 10 years and voted against giving kids food because 'we give money anyway'. This isn't about point scoring by slagging off the other party, this is about rich guys who have gone all their lives believing poor people are stupid and lazy voting to let poor kids starve.
Dear Lisa. Does it matter if Marcus Rashford was hungry when he was a kid? His work right now is too honest for someone who is lying about his past. Also, the problem in question is not whether Marcus Rashford was hungry or not, the problem is feeding young children who will go hungry during the winter months because the schools that they used to go to is closed because of COVID. what he's doing right now is good work, and deserves to be appreciated.
Also, when you put starving in double quotes like that it's quite insulting to the ones who actually went through that.
@@rahulpanicker1453 - indeed he is doing good. But he could channel it in a different way - get communities together to help out like mine where all the mothers donated food and met up (socially distanced, masks etc) at the local infant school and made up packed lunches. * Instead he choses to sit and write to the Government who are already helping out. Giving school meal vouchers in May half-term this year didn't work out..... Asda and the supermarkets reported the mothers were attempting to use the vouchers to buy fags, booze etc so instead, the Government have topped up Universal Credit payments to those that need it most and have given extra Hardship Funding to local Councils to combat free school meals . Where will it all end ? will it be free clothes, free shoes, free housing , free....... and at the end of the day, it is ME, the hard-working tax payer who ends up paying for it all * we made enough packed lunches to feed a small army and even though posters were made up and stuck to everything in sight, a total of 2 children turned up - where were all the starving children?
Saying you have to work with local authorities is a joke as it controlled from Westminster also, why not control it through the school system. I had to explain to my Australian wife that elected local councils do not generate and spent their own rates money, let alone spend it on projects like this! I realise now why I work with others from my home town who emigrated +30 years after me, for the same reason. All of whom are doing well possibly because of the drive to do better or just being glad to have gotten out of the socially divided place, that makes what is a well off country for the rich SO POOR for the rest! NSW in Oz .
Almost half of the money in this country is owned by just 10% of the households.
This government should be totally ashamed of themselves. They need to stop acting like spoit brats and govern for the people and not putting the rich and money first.
What are you doing today to better your self tomorrow?
The Pandemic(Covid-19) has shown us how important it is NOT to only depend on your job for financial security.
its important now than ever to find other ways to bring in income and build wealth. That could be achieved by
investing, starting a Bussiness, or even Reselling stuff.
Are you a complete beginner to investing and have no idea where to begin?
You can reach me via the comment box or send me a friend request let’s make the best of whatever we can.
When have the Tories cared about poor children who are hungry or poor people in general? The answer is never the Tories have never gave a toss about the poor, homeless, and hungry children.
So why are parents paid for children through the social services and child benefit?
I’m sorry but why are kids going without food??? How can any parent not feed their child?? If you are on low income you get top ups by government and if you don’t work the government pays you enough to feed and pay your bills and if your lucky give you a council house!
Apparently not.
We had Thatcher the milk snatcher in the 80s. Now Boris the breakfast burglar if Labour get there act together the 2025 election could be up for grabs.
I cannot wait for Boris to die to see which hilarious theme tune hits the top of the chart.
Rashfords childhood was under a Labour government .
Pensioner poverty has been drastically reduced because the Tories think we're a big slab of the people who vote for them. In my case they're WRONG!
Define poverty
@@yoyo-lf3ld The inability to afford the basic necessities of life and to play a full part in society.
@@MartinJames389 so what evidence do you have that children can't get basic necessities? And well everyone has the opportunity to play apart in society the education and health system is free.
@@yoyo-lf3ld You haven't a clue, obviously. If you have no money, you can't play any part in society at all.
@@MartinJames389 sure. But as I said education is free and gives you the ability to make money
Go on Google. Read the interview with Marcus Rashford in March with GQ Magazine. He didn't go home for his dinners because he was out with his mates. Read it.
What's your point?
@@ethandalton6480 do some homework. Like l did.
Marcus Rashford didn’t come from wealth. Many MPs have never experienced food poverty.
It's up to Parents to feed there Children not the Government . The State provides meals during term time. The problem is people rely so much now on the State that they can't take responsibility even for their own kids . If parents can't feed them they are not
fit to be parents in the first place.
My question is: " Why you need to make a 12 minutes long vídeo only to proof that MP do not care about the kids?"
All the bars and restaurants in the Houses of Parliament should be closed until free school meal vouchers are reinstated
Rashford does because it directly affected him growing up. He does care about the children in this country, can't say the same for those MPs that voted against the motion. this country often prides itself on being one of the largest economies on the planet yet it can't feed it's own.
Private schools are charities.........”they provide benefit to the public” !!! As such school fees are exempt from VAT.The public pay the school fees of military families.The tax rebates between 2017-22are estimated to be £522 million. Tell me again....the Govt can’t afford it !
Nicky Morgan spinning the story away from the point they haven't supported children's need to eat. Pathetic
Im not saying scum is sensible language but .....
How is that title even a question? Actions speak louder than words, Rashford clearly cares a lot more than any of the tory MPs.
Yay, free school lunches. Now what do your children want for Christmas & yes I am available to babysit New Year’s Eve so you can go out & party!! Ffs, take responsibility for your choice to have kids!!!
When an American is explaining to the UK their social policy and its so much better than what the UK is doing then we have a problem Huston
A big one was suprised !!
Probably yeah. Because the PM just going
"BREXIT BREXIT BREXIT"
What??? Have we forgotten the MPs Expenses Scandal (which was cross party) so soon that we are okay with them getting any pay rise at all....especially with children going hungry???
Tories need to pull up their big girl pants, they called us scum, stop faffing around, and just back the children of England, Our Wales Minster did it, Scotland did,Ireland did, And thank you Marcus for speaking up for the children all children👏👏👏
Morgan, sits talking about what the 'Labour party want' to deflect from how it's actually about what Tories want, or rather don't want - in this case providing care and support to vulnerable citizens (Nationalising children as Baker put it). At least this 80 seat majority is showing them up for what they really are.
Finally, shall we discuss how these inequality issues rose in the first place? Absolute shower, anyone voting for this lot should be ashamed.
My unpopular opinion is that it’s the parents responsibility to feed their children. Of course there are cases where children need help but maybe parents should stop buying cigarettes, alcohol, iPhones and nice clothes and feed their children. It’s about priorities and taking personal responsibility. It’s too easy to ask the state to act as the parent!
Its commenable what Rashford has achieved but there are an awful lot of volunteers that have been helping people and children in many ways for years......its become popular because he is a footballer and in the limelight....
As an American its nice to see that England is just as fucked up
My sincerest condolences
If premiership footballers are so concerned about starving children perhaps they could buy them some school dinners .
He did... he's partnered with youth centres, has raised £20m for charities to help provide food for children and he was working with food banks so that kids got food.
Fair enough
I agree with Marcus’s fight but it might not be a bad idea for him to have a word with his colleagues in the premier league who between them all earn in the region of £54,000,000 per WEEK if they contributed just 1% to the children’s cause it would help enormously. I understand we shouldn’t have a charity to pay for children’s meals but at this desperate time a donation from these extremely overpaid sportsmen would be very well received and very useful.
It is the governments responsibility, not private citizens. Charity is only there when there is a failure of government. More charities is actually a bad thing.
Premier League players paid 1.1billion in tax. If only the government won't handing that over to their mates, they could easily spend that on these hungry kids.
As the government have paid out £213. Billion on the COVID situation, with £35. Billion in furlough payments I think it’s difficult to say they haven’t been over and above with support. It’s more than any other European country, so let’s not have a memory loss on what’s been done so far. It’s true that we shouldn’t rely on charities to pay things like this but the net take home pay for just the premier league players is 1.7 billion and I think if Marcus wants to really do something,and I’m sure he does, it wouldn’t hurt to get a meeting together and ask for a 1% donation. It wouldn’t break the players bank and 17 million pounds would help the cause no end and frankly would put the players in a good light. Everybody wins.
If someone said to us in 2019 that a 22 year old footballer cares more about child hunger than the actual politicians we would laugh
No politicians care about us, neither Conservatives or Labour. All they care about it our votes and their comfy salaries.
Thank you tube
So, if I understand this correctly....the government spent £00s of millions of pounds on Eat Out to Help Out, and subsidises meals in the Palace of Westminster to the tune of almost £3m/annum, but can't find £20m for schoolkids' foods. Nice. I used to think that Nicky Morgan was a decent person. Not so sure anymore.
If a child is hungry,that is indicative of the family's hunger,food banks where families can collect items to put meals together may be a solution,this means the family can all have nutrition.
I have witnessed individuals receiving food parcels, sorting through them and throwing away the bits away they don’t like, do you do that if your hungry
Bad Parenting is why kids go hungry. Cant feed them shouldn't have them.
It might get well be. But it is not the the children's fault though is it... Yet it is the children that are hungry...
If they don't care about kids going hungry, what exactly do they care about ?
We are being run by public school buffoons. Where is the voice of reason. I was lucky in my primary years to get free school meals as standard with the IDEA but the Tories abolished that with the GLC back in the 80's. Since then cheap meals were the norm in secondary school. I do feel for these kids and if I could and had the money I would help them out. Shame on this government.
2 words. Gas lighting
Far left jargon, what does it mean?
Katie Hopkins is bang on on the matter
bottom right of the zoom call guy looks like hes just dropped acid
I can't believe that these are adults!!!
Rashford has experienced it first hand so he’s fighting for the future of this country so we all need to back him. This government don’t live in the real world they have everything handed to them and need nocking down a few pegs they need to remember they work for us tax payers as civil servants not the other way around can’t believe this is actually a topic that is under debate.
A short-term fix is needed because we have starving child RIGHT now but we also need a comprehensive for the long because it will just get worse.
I feel like the GOV has been out-done by a 21 Footballer and they don't want to undermine themselves with the a u-turn.
If you were to go by the comments on here you'd think children don't need parents.
Anne Longfield . . . . . Not at all impressed with you!
There will not be a single Tory MP (never mind the Government) who has ever known what it is like to worry about their next meal. The fact that they are from privileged backgrounds and most have had empathy bypass operations is no excuse.
I'm expecting some idiot in the comment section to argue against Rashford and trash him, wouldn't be a surprise in all honesty 😒
You don't have to go far on Twitter to find the Tory shills trying to justify taking food out of the mouths of hungry children.
Tory shill in the burgundy
Nick Jones if labour was in the country would borrow money from the eu then we would be in deep shit
@@millhilljimjimmy6731 Ah yes because Tory austerity has clearly lifted everyone out of poverty and financial instability with their obsession with balancing the books. What's that? A rise in homelessness? More people in relative poverty? Well if Labour was in power of course it would all be so much worse.
Hold up. You guys think this is a debate????
LET MARCUS DO WHAT HE WANTS HE IS DOING NOT JUST TALKING LIKE MOST MPs GOOD LUCK AND CHEERS
Hungry my eye
I know parents who were really happy with their free school meal vouchers, 1st lockdown. Expensively educated politicians: *"Let them eat council tax reminders"*
The real victim here is the poor person who was called scum. Wow, what a travesty! These peasants need a damn good thrashing to learn their place! Don't talk back to your betters!
You do not like the other side of the coin
I’m sure the parents and kids all have mobile phones and a lot of other rubbish. Other people have to be responsible for their own lives and children.
You need a smart phone to be able to apply jobs and function in the 21st century you utter ancient monument.
First off you need a phone if you are unemployed, literally a requirement, if you don't have one the job centre will not be pleased about it (and they'll use any reason they can to take away your jobseeker's allowance, which despite what some like to make out, isn't a lot or enough to live off) and you also need a phone to get interviews because people need to contact you.
Secondly parents give their kids phones so that they can call them in emergencies, which makes sense (my family it was once you walk to school by yourself you have a phone, this also taught use and the next generation of my family how to look after things and how to manage finances as we only had a limited number of calls and texts a month, so they also work as a good learning tool).
Thirdly they aren't expensive, you can get contracts that cost you £10 a month and cover everything.
So phones are really wasting money but a necessary item in modern society.
@@Ball_Chat_FC I got most of my jobs by asking direct, and I am not the one begging or name calling. I also donate to charities and the food bank every time I shop. Just personal choice, not from being made to feel guilty. The state does far too much. The likes of Rashford should pitch in with some of their obscene earnings without being lauded for it.
That's not even a good argument. Those children didn't choose to have parents who can't feed them , we live in one of the riches countries in the world and we can't feed starving children??? It's UTTER madness
The government failed in protecting jobs for thousands in this country and families all over Britain at no fault of there own are unable to feed their children
It's the governments duty to fix that problem and feed them
And how can you even agure this
You don't believe we should feed starving children WHO DIDN'T CHOSE TO STARVE when we live in one of the RICHES COUNTRIES ON EARTH!
Like what's even your point
"I dont want my tax money going to stopping children! Starving to death"???
@@steveg2479 That's a cool story Grandad but doesn't change the fact that 99% of jobs in the 21st century are only accessible online. My entire job is remotely based so yes you need smartphones and laptops to function in the modern age of 21st century society, regardless of what you think in your little bubble.
Short answer yes
Its not the responsibility of the general public to pay for other people's children, especially when they already have universal credit, child support and other benefits to support this.
By that logic, it's also not the responsbility of the general public to look after other people's parents and grandparents. So we should scrap your pensions and throw you out onto the streets when you turn old and senile. Ah, Britain. The only nation with people who are as thick as Nicki Minaj's ass.
@@Ball_Chat_FC Strawman mixed in with Ad hominem, nice. It's not a case of everything or nothing, you have to draw the line somewhere. Let's ignore the fact you don't have an answer for the role of universal credit and child benefits, may I ask where you believe the role of parents start and end in this matter?
@@seesidesummerhouse6112 do you know how much people actually get from benefits?
Also yeah the other persons point was valid, on the same reasoning we shouldn't be paying for your pension, as it's not the responsibility of the public to pay for other people's parents and grandparents. For a start they should have been rich and if they aren't well then it's their fault and problem for not having loads of money. So I take it that you won't be taking out a government pension and instead relying on your family to support you? Why should the general public support your wellbeing?
@@seesidesummerhouse6112 I know a few parents who are starving themselves to feed their children. They lost jobs in this pandemic and are struggling to find work. They have been in work and contributing tax their entires lives and now they can't even afford to put food on their kid's tables. Were they the failures or were they failed by the system? But let me ask you this: If universal benefits are that good and you are responsible enough to manage the money, why don't we scrap pensions and carehomes and put you all on the dole instead? We could also use the carehomes to setup food and cooking centres for the children in communities so they can learn how to cook for themselves. Surely, it'd be a stupid idea for you to not jump on the dole if you are so responsible with your circumstances. Let's scrap your pensions and put you all on the dole.
Midoriya are thy watching sky TVs
Let's report the Tories to the police.. for child cruelty
You must be joking, mr Bee. This is a Party whose leader was Ted Heath. They're in cahoots.
So the Tories voted against the bill because of political reasons and now kids go hungry? The voters won't forget!
Short answer: yes
They have the nerve to pounce on one of them being called scum, and yet their own leader descends into insults every single week at pmq's.
The answer to the question is, yes, yes he does. Marcus can relate to the struggles people have, but these career politicians can't. Neither Conservatives or Labour deserve any credit here, but i give full credit to Marcus here, who has defeated the government into submission. We live in an age where billionaires are making millions upon millions, and where MPs(including Labour) are enjoying salary increases.
So i think it's time to stop supporting these politicians, and perhaps a grassroots people's uprising is needed in this country.
MARCUS cares more than mps, course most of them don't care the kids are the FUTURE OF ARE EMPIRE AND ARE WORLD!! If you don't understand that what are you doing.
