Gordon Brown - Double standards.

July 7th: PM Urges People Not To Waste Food

July 8th: World Leaders Tuck into 18 Course Meal as They Discuss Global Food Shortage

Just two days ago, Gordon Brown was urging us all to stop wasting food and combat rising prices and a global shortage of provisions.

But yesterday the Prime Minister and other world leaders sat down to an 18-course gastronomic extravaganza at a G8 summit in Japan, which is focusing on the food crisis.

The dinner, and a six-course lunch, at the summit of leading industrialised nations on the island of Hokkaido, included delicacies such as caviar, milkfed lamb, sea urchin and tuna, with champagne and wines flown in from Europe and the U.S.

I wonder if Gordon will be expressing his concern over the "air miles" used to bring in his champagne and wines flown in from Europe and the US, or does alleged global warming and carbon emissions just matter when it is the little people like us rather than politicians like him?Can't be having Gordon working on an empty belly now can we? Unlike many of the worlds poor.

I am sure that the starving in the 3rd world would love some "G8 Fantasy desert", or maybe "Kelp-flavoured beef and asparagus" along with some "Supreme of chicken with stuffed thigh, nuts and orange savoury and beetroot foam", lastly wash it down with some Le Reve Grand Cru Brut or La Seule Gloire Champagne.

Lets just hope that the champagne socialist Gordon followed his own advise and did not waste any of the food, maybe he took a doggy bag back home for David Blunketts guide dog Sadie? Who knows he might have saved that £8 a week, that he said we could save by making our shopping go further.

After all "It was vital to reduce 'unnecessary demand' for food" said Gordon.

Gordon give the "thumbs up" for the stuffed thigh on the menu...
