If it weren’t so serious, there would be deep comedy in seeing Marcus Rashford run rings around Boris Johnson’s lot
2762nd Meeting, 95th Session, Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC).
Consideration of Bulgaria
Consideration of Bulgaria.
The Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) is the body of 18 Independent experts that monitors implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child by its State parties. It also monitors implementation of two Optional Protocols to the Convention, on involvement of children in armed conflict and on sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography.
Over the past 30 years, children's lives have been transformed by the most widely ratified human rights treaty in history. The Convention on the Rights of the Child has inspired governments to change laws and policies, so more children get the healthcare and nutrition they need. There are better safeguards in place to protect children from violence and exploitation. More children have their voices heard and participate in society. But there is still more work to be done.

Via Dave Hulmanoid and Marcus Rashford’s fight against child poverty exposes Labour and trade unions’ partnership with Johnson government - World Socialist Web Site
Marcus Rashford has more fight in his little toe than the entire Labour and trade union bureaucracy.
In a class war declaration, Boris Johnson’s Tory government voted Wednesday against a motion calling for school children from the poorest families being provided with free school meal vouchers during the upcoming half-term school holiday. The government refused to spend a few million pounds to feed poverty stricken children when schools close for a few days from October 23 to November 2.
The Labour Party’s opposition sponsored motion read, “That this house calls on the government to continue directly funding provision of free school meals over the school holidays until Easter 2021 to prevent over a million children going hungry during this crisis.”
The vote came after Marcus Rashford, the 22-year-old Manchester United and England footballer, reprised his summer campaign to give free school meals (FSM) to children living in poverty. Rashford was brought up in a single parent home on the working class Wythenshawe council estate in Manchester, with his mother working minimum wage jobs. The family relied on state-funded breakfasts and free school meals. ...
I've seen many articles re: Mr Rashford's work on behalf of poor kids, and posted some of 'em, and loved him for it. This crap makes me want to scream and cry. It's amazing/disgusting that anyone could be so cold hearted and evil as to ever let children go hungry, let alone in the midst of this plague. It makes me want to hope that all those who voted against feeding children gets the plague, but w/o giving it to anyone w/the opposing viewpoint.
