12.5k followers and they think this is acceptable. Come get your guys @LCFC @LCFC_Community

It's worse when the UK has a homeless crisis and people are freezing on the street.

Oh, and Foodbank use is off the charts, so the feeding comment is grim.

#LIVLEI #CarabaoCup
.@lcfcawaydays_ is definitely not doing #LCFC fans any favours.

When pointed out mocking poverty and Foodbank users is bad, this is their response...

Strange thing is Leicester's rate of child poverty is much higher than Liverpool. Hopefully they reflect and help a Foodbank. Image
.@lcfcawaydays_ should understand that since 2010, working class people from all clubs have suffered.

Leicester's Foodbanks are as busy as anywhere else. Child Poverty is higher there, than most places in the UK. I don't think that's funny, rather I'd like to do some good so. 👇
Instead of getting angry about certain #LCFC fans mocking poverty, lets do something good this #Christmas

#LFC fans support local Foodbanks every week, lets show Leicester Fans we take Food Poverty seriously and help their local Foodbank out.

As a gesture of goodwill this Christmas, I've donated to Leicester's @FoodbankSouth to help them get much needed supplies to a family this Christmas.

Hopefully #LCFC fans help their own community before mocking others.

If the NHS is overwhelmed because it cannot cope with an increase in people with COVID-19 and it's related complications, we risk this Tory government using that an as excuse for privatisation.

Vaccination reduces the chances of serious infection and/or complications.
Yes people who are vaccinated will still catch Covid-19, the government hasn't been clear on this. However, those who are vaccinated are much less likely to require hospitalisation.

Obviously some will, but more won't.

If we want an NHS, we need to help it.
The fact we have 90,000 positive cases, but not the equivalent hospitalisations compared to lower positive rates pre vaccination, shows we are getting there.

We can beat this, we can get through it, but we need to work together to do do.
