I generally agree with you but just playing devil's advocate, I think Rashford used his voice and position well to make good effective change.

There's definitely positive examples yes. But by golly are they rare and mostly something we can only judge on the surface. Geniunely appreciate Rashys work a lot but I'm saddened he even has to do that level of advocating for such a no brainer

Yeah you'd think starving children = bad is a fairly easy position for all of us to get behind.

But Tories gonna Tory.

This is hugely simplistic and you don't understand the issue. It's more about the level of control that a government has over the people and the liberties offered to them
