    No need to be so angry or triggered. It's a picture. You may or may not find it funny. You may fall over yourself to the slap the back of the person that posts a Twitter link you either agree with or find politically funny. You are also free to not like the picture if it offends, in a weird way, your sensibilities.

    Nobody claimed it was the creation of a genius, though.

    Just responding to the angle you tried to find.

    I actually agree a little bit more with this angle than the 'his agent' one - Labour had brought it up but (the perennially-ignored RLB aside!) weren't going very hard at it and certainly didn't seem to think their stand was anything other than doomed lip-service until Rashford stepped in

    To be fair, I don’t think it was Starmer who was trying to take the credit for it.

    Nice try. It was a picture that I found funny. No more, no less. You seem extremely put out that an inoffensive, subjectively funny picture was posted.

    That's the beauty of not having entrenched Tory/Labour sensibilities. You can laugh at them and not appear like an angry old man because your political compass has been rocked by a feckin' picture  :D

    I mean, if this episode teaches us anything, it's that party politics is a fundamentally broken model. More gets done by popular demand than by HoC process. I wonder where this will lead us. Hopefully somewhere positive.
  • Really great to see Labour claiming credit for Marcus' work. Hasn't gone down well. Anywhere. On any platform.

    Bailey Long, surprisingly enough, one of the very few to come out with any credit.

    Labour being likened to John Terry turning up for the trophy presentation in full kit, despite not playing.
    You posted this which clearly has an angle on it as you're well aware. You love to twist things and have some of the most entrenched views on here.

    You accuse others on here of things that directly apply to you - commonly called transference.

    Clearly? really? says who? you? Mr Angry? nah, you're alright. You carry on being angry about an inoffensive picture someone posted on social media :D

    Dress it up as having an angle if you so wish. I'll carry on laughing at you for this reason.

    You can even console yourself with the many delusions you put forward. It will not, however, change the fact that you got very angry about a picture of John Terry with Keir Starmer's face in place of John Terry's. That's the long and short of it. Think about that for a minute :D

    Anyway, Leuth has it right.

    I've made the point about you having an angle and you're not honest to admit that you have. This isn't about the picture.

    As usual you twist things. I'm certainly not angry.

    It doesn't actually matter what I say as you'll just ignore it and tell me what I think even though you are utterly clueless.

    I look forward to your next bizarre rant.

    As I said earlier. This was a Labour motion in Parliament to extend free school meals. The Tories were whipped to oppose it. Rashford wrote to MPs urging them to support it. Boris then u-turned and withdrew the opposition allowing the vote in Parliament to succeed. 

    Both Labour and Rashford deserve credit for this

    Angry man claims someone has an angle. Recipient of accusation calmly refutes claim and states there was no angle. Only humour. Angry man claims to to be the sole arbiter of not only how he thinks but also how everyone else thinks. And that's that!! :D

    Angry man then claims that the recipient of the false accusation will ignore what Angry man says and will, instead, tell Angry man what Angry man thinks. Angry man seems to not see the irony in what he says.

    Bizarre indeed :D

    Man Utd & players in general have come out of the lockdown quite well - never tried to furlough staff like Liverpool, Spurs etc, haven't had any breaking lockdown stories like Kyle Walker, Jack Grealish, Spurs & Mourinho, Rashford for all the above, and wasn't it Harry Maguire who got a load of players together to donate a part of their wages?

    I doubt they are all saints but they've managed to come across well.
    A good point, but then he current United side (and Ole) do come over as quite likeable
    Except for Lingard.

    Spot on Rick.
    Incompetence of the highest level.
    Mis-stating someone's name is Incompetence of the highest level ?

    Is the management of Covid incompetence of the top-top highest level?

    He got his name wrong during a live interview - let's not make it out to be anything more than that.

    It’s really good to see, but it does make you wonder about parliamentary process if it’s taken a high profile footballer to get this over the line.  

    There are lots of good causes celebrities attach themselves too, but it’s pot luck which ones get traction and influence the government 

    Bellerin of Arsenal has agreed to plant 3000 trees for every Arsenal victory for the rest of this season.  I wonder how many we’ll see planted?

    He is obviously a caring and compassionate lad as well posessing above average intelligence for a footballing millionaire, well done Marcus.

    BUT don't the usual suspects love a bandwagon?  Media, Politicians all hitching up to him. So fucking predictable.

    It's all about point scoring, both here and in parliament.

    Starmer used PMQs to ask the government to reconsider it's position.
    The Tories were under a lot of pressure to do so, but Johnson didn't want to be gift Starmer a fairly substantial victory.

    Marcus Rashford's timing was perfect, because it enabled the govt to do what they knew they'd have to do eventually, without making it look like a Labour victory.
    That's why they were going with the Rashford line the next day.

    That's politics for you. The cause was won, Johnson saved a little bit of face, and Labour's policy victory wasn't backed up by the PR victory they would have liked.
    Hats off to Rashford either way.
