Food and Mood

Interesting times call for interesting measures; and now that the strutting Caudillo of the Farage Falange has been forced aboard a bandwagon started by a black man, even some of the plucky little underdogs in the Parliamentary Brexit Party are wondering whether keeping Britain's children hungry is quite as much in their interest as it seemed. One minor apparatchik gave Marcus Rashford "huge credit" for his campaign to continue free school meals into the holidays, while naturally also standing in awe of the Cummings administration's infallible ethical judgement that the hostile environment of the scrounger safety net is as much as the poor deserve. Meanwhile, the chair of the Johnsonianly-named Commons liaison committee admitted that the world-beating populists might have "misjudged the mood of the country" on the let-'em-starve issue, although he still intends waiting for the Party and the Cummings administration to magnetise his moral compass. Apparently it may sometimes be justifiable to feed hungry children, provided one obtains due consent from the British racial overmind, and provided one's future in the House of Lords is not thereby unnecessarily imperilled by any wholly non-Stalinist purges.
