Attacking (the) footballer

So, this morning, a friend on FB shared a story pointing out how much Marcus Rashford earns as a professional footballer, and how he and his mates could get together they could pay for free school meals for hungry poor children.

CCHQ spent the weekend thinking of an attack line on this, rather than do the right thing, of course. And now we know what their line is.

And they are partly right, leaving to most working class kids made good, rather than the millionaire and billionaire club owners to pay, and certainly pointing the way away from Central Government's role in this.

A reminder, the money this would cost is tiny, and we in the UK and wider world, are living through unprecedented times and that those at the bottom should have some help. Coming from the same people who used the country's purse to build duck houses or clear the moat(!) of their huge country houses. Some MPs earn hundreds of thousands of pounds a year for a handful of hours work a week as consultants, lining their pockets on top of what we, the tax payer rewards them.

So, this is the way it will be, know your place, keep quiet, and forfeit your rights.
