Not enough facepalms
Rashford & pals all over this on Twitter
They probably canāt understand how somebody, somewhere, doesnāt know who he is.
Theyāre probably asking why the education secretary, responsible for the education of our kids, is unable to distinguish between two famous black sports men.
I couldnāt give a description of any rugby player of any colour. In fact, this is the first time Iāve seen the name Maro Itoje as I have no interest whatsoever in rugby. Perhaps the education secretary has little or no interest in sport, is there any particular reason he should? Itās like Raab being criticised for his lack of expertise on Game of Thrones as if that automatically rendered him unsuitable to hold public office.

He was asked if heād met Marcus Rashford. Marcus Rashford is oddly enough, the most successful campaigner in the country right now and a constant thorn in the governmentās side.
While Iād agree that I wouldnāt know many egg-chasers of any hue from Adam, I would know what the biggest thorn in my fucking side looks like, especially if he also played for Manchester United and England, and Iād know if Iād met him or not.
Williamson is a fucking idiot.

Totally. It also shows a lack of decency if he canāt remember who he spoke to and smacks of couldntgiveafuckery about talking to campaigners. Symptomatic of the ineptitude and arrogance that permeates through this Government.

Thatās the bunnyā¦he was an egg chaser wasnāt he?
And a damned fine Captain of the England team as well as a perfect foil for Willie Carson on the proper Question of Sport.
Re Williamson.
Why would he even guess he had met Rashford.
Just reinforces every ignorant couldnāt care less accusation against political elites.
FFS, as I was typing earlier I did think that the only rugby player Iād probably recognise was that bloke who used to be on Question of Sport 
Iām a fully-fledged member of the Old Farts Club, I see that now
