ISTBO- Go Sir Jamie!

I know that this is an occupational hazard for someone who is not only the founder of ISTBO, but also a member of the Liberal Democrats, but being right all the time can take a little of the fun out of things. For is it not written that the thrill of gambling is in not what you might win, but in what you have to lose? (Yes, it is.) Did I not say that Jamie would solve nothing with his school dinners program? Did I not say that fat kids= bad parents? Why I think we're all very well aware that I did. And what did I hear on the most reliable source of information (BBC Radio4, FYI it are nearly lambing time)? That the practical upshot of 'Jamie's School Dinners' is not that the government is giving more money to schools for dinners, as what has been promised may not in fact be new money. In fact it would have been the most blindingly fast piece of political solvery ever if it had been. No, what he's really done is cause shedloads of parents to stop paying for school dinners and give their kids packed lunches instead. So, ta, Nora, here's yer marching orders! Now an optimistic person might think the parents are horrified at the crap their kids were being fed and have decided to take their little darling's health into their own hands. But this is ISTBO, darlings, so lets State The Bleeding Obvious: 1) Parents knew that school meals sucked before that program 2) Parents knew precisely what was in the crap they feed kids at school because they feed them exactly the same crap at home 3)It's not the old style school meals putting the parents off, it's the kids saying "If they're going to give us Jamie stuff for school dinners I'm having a packed lunch." 4)Said packed lunches will consist of: a Bernard Matthews turkey ham sandwich (which will go in the bin), a 'Big Eat' sized packet of Prawn Cocktail crisps, a jumbo sized Kit kat, a chocolate muffin and a half litre bottle of Fanta. 5) If seeing Rebecca Loos and that pig wont put kids off turkey twizzlers, nothing will.
