#ToryFoodTips: the public response to Johnson’s claim that he won’t let children go hungry
Make no mistake – this is an expression of disbelief in Tory promises by the social media-using public.
Boris Johnson has refused to u-turn on his refusal to provide free school meals for children.
Some of you may consider that to be positive proof that a u-turn is coming, but while we wait, we should consider his words, that the government will “do everything in our power to make sure that no kid, no child goes hungry”.
The obvious thing to do would be to spend some money into the economy to ensure that they can enjoy a good nutritious meal – and the easiest way to do that is by funding free school meals!
Failing that, what else can the Tories do?
Some commenters on Twitter think they might offer advice on how to make cheap and easy meals – and have offered suggestions on the form this advice may take, using the hashtag #ToryFoodTips:
One gets one's gun, then it's into the 4×4, and off to the woods, where Mellors the loyal gamekeeper has the jolly old pheasants* all ready to bag for the pot.

We all know quail and grouse are a marvellous free British food staple, but did you know they also lay eggs? Ask your groundskeeper to set some aside. Delicious, and completely free!#ToryFoodTips

Foraged Chanterelles are nutritious and free!
I have the au pair pick mine from the South Pasture, cook them on the Aga in a little truffle oil, and serve on home-made sourdough toast for a cheap and easy meal.
Delicious with grouse.#ToryFoodTips— Joanne Harris (@Joannechocolat) October 26, 2020

If preparing food for a person on benefits, and it falls on the floor, and it's been less than 10 seconds, then leave it on the floor a bit longer, the hairs and dust will encourage them to get a second or third job to better themselves #ToryFoodTips

As a special treat buy a chicken with all the giblets still inside. Then throw the raw innards on the floor and let your kids fight over them. It's good exercise, builds character and adds a bit of fun to their meagre, miserable existence. #ToryFoodTips

You’ll notice that the tone of the advice changes, depending on the kind of person for whom it is intended – which leads me to this:
