      They could argue that those are just “Anglo style bread lines”,
      where the conservatives are starving its citizens by default
      instead of their government demanding farm produce
      from large farm owners being handed over to them to feed the poor
      and the large farm owners refusing to do so and create a standoff,
      while keeping all the food to themselves.
