I don't really know where politics comes into that line of questioning, nor into the responses it attracts. As has been said on numerous occasions already, this is a humanitarian issue, not a political one. Irrespective of which party was in power, there would have been a backlash and rightly so. My point was more of a general perspective rather this specific thread discussion point. When a poster wants to reinforce his position by dragging a 2013 expense claim by one MP into the equation my thoughts and opinions were to escape the discussion and focus on football matters. Again I reply to you out of courtesy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could just be that very few people share his opinion on hungry kids. Or they do, but he is the only one brave enough to bravely raise his head above the parapet. Even people like Farage were on Rashford's side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's his hypocrisy that is being highlighted not the party of which he is a member. There have been so many criticisms of the mods on these threads in recent times, it sometimes makes me wonder why people put themselves to the trouble of reading them.

Paragraph 1) His ‘cheating’ has no relevance whatsoever to how he voted in this, or any, bill. Paragraph 2) The threads can be of interest to those less partisan than you. However, their enjoyment is diminishing as the left take over. No matter, you enjoy keep baiting Gstar knowing your back will be covered by the Socialist Workers Committee.

As I responded to 86P, which he found funny, which was nice, my point is more general as to political comments are being allowed to creep back into this pub environment. I say pub, I mean Working Men’s Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has no relevance whatsoever. Yes. The principles of those that voted against extending free school meals should be questioned. If you want more than one, I can give them to you. Financial probity cannot only apply to others. You shouldn't be exempt just because your stables need heating or because you don't want to fork out for your own fruit gums. Because you don't see the relevance, doesn't mean it's not relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An intelligent person would tell me why I am wrong and convince me to change my view. Someone not as intelligent would spend their Friday night searching out my posts and post laughing emojis. I'll let you guess which category you have fallen into. And a grown man worrying about ratings on an internet forum? Embarrassed for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its comments like 'even Farage' that iRam is talking about, of what relevance is he to a thread on free school meals? Why not say 'even Jeremy Corbyn'?

Should we take it then that you don't subscribe to his outlook simply because you don't have his time or money? Are the two things inextricably entwined? https://www.trusselltrust.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
