obviously the belief that states shouldn& #39;t feed people is both callous and against a wealth of evidence, but i think the real victory for a conservative worldview here is the total acceptance that it wasnt the state, this state, that put people in food poverty in the first place

deregulation, privatisation, cronyism, austerity - these are all state initiated actions that have made people poor - significantly poorer than they were 10 years ago. those weren& #39;t natural disasters, the government did this to people

and if you still believe you can afford to eat because you are Good and not because you were Lucky, then i have a bridge to sell you
