    celebs should never ever be taken seriously when it comes to any other matter than the one they actually excel at, be it football or acting etc.

    No I dont want a fucking actor, raised by actors, isolated from society telling me how to vote or what to think about economics. Same goes for footballers. These people are not normal in any sense of the word nor do they have any understanding of the world they live in so sheltered.

      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.

            Tories: “We have to leave the EU to take care of our own.”

            Starving British kids: “So does that mean we’ll finally have food?”

            Tories: “Eww, no, fuck off.”

      Agree. Fans (peasants) wants celebrities to stand up for them, no matter what the political view is, and when they mess up they get all mad. No shit, theyre celebrities. Not politicians or activists.
