Rashford strikes again – belittling ignorant Tory MP over ‘feeding children’ tweet
Marcus Rashford: he is campaigning to end food poverty and the Tory government has said it will listen to his recommendations. But one Tory MP seems to be shooting wild.
Footballer and food poverty campaigner Marcus Rashford scored against Kevin Hollinrake after the Tory MP shot his mouth off about parental responsibility to feed children.
Hollinrake responded to a tweet from a member of the public asking why it was necessary for Marcus Rashford to make a stand for hungry children in society.
This person asked: Isn’t that the job of our MPs?
Hollinrake responded: “Where they can, it’s a parents job to feed their children.”
But Rashford had noticed the exchange and responded to it – politely, but firmly:
“I would urge you to talk to families before tweeting. To this day I haven’t met one parent who hasn’t wanted or felt the responsibility to feed their children…”
To This Writer’s way of thinking, he was too easy on the Tory twit.
The point is that, in many cases, it is Tory policy that has made it impossible for parents to feed their children; they have cut real-terms wages and benefits to the point where it is impossible to afford the rent, other bills, and food as well.
Hollinrake should have known that, but chose to express his ignorance instead.
The amazing thing is that the people of Thirsk and Malton thought he was fit to represent them.
But from now on – at least – he is a marked man.
