Don't blame Prescott this time
« on: July 07, 2008, 05:38:59 PM »
Gordon and his cronies sat down to a 6 course lunch followed, in the evening, by an 8 course dinner whilst on their latest jaunt to Japan.
And we thought the food shortage was Prescott's fault? eeek:

OK I expect Japanese, like Chinese, food leaves you wanting another meal within a couple of hours but 14 courses FFS ~ not when the meeting is to discuss world poverty and hunger surely.

Still ~ perhaps his famous moral compass made him leave most of his food on the plate rather than eaten. That's the way Gordo ... let it be thrown in the bin.

Oh and do read the link ~ the plane he and his entourage flew there in was chartered and came to the UK empty all the way from Texas to collect him and having delivered him back to Heathrow will then fly empty back to Texas. That's showing concern for the climate and the fuel shortage too. We should be proud to have such a leader .... he is almost as good as Mugabe at looking out himself.

Given some of the things that end up in Japanese cuisine it could end up being 14 course torture for Brown

Read the link ~ they were two gourmet meals. I mean serious stuff with enough wine to float a battleship.
I am not expecting him to do a Gandhi but surely a little tact would not have gone amiss.
His lecture on how we should eat scraps and economise was delivered on the plane on his way out there. ::)

The man is turning into Marie "Let them eat cake" Antoinette ~ we can only hope he meets a similar fate  SOON!

That report should make it to HIGNFY with any luck  ::)

The dinner consisted of 18 dishes in eight courses including caviar, smoked salmon, Kyoto beef and a "G8 fantasy dessert".

Hmm...  rubschin:  fantasy dessert? Something closer to home than Bombe Alaska perhaps?

He does have the most amazing sense of timing… given the feeling towards him at the moment surely he must have realised (or one of his advisors must have realised) what the reaction to this would have been…?

I mean, if he’d read it out while pictured in the kitchen of Number 10 while eating cold porridge leftovers he might have got away with it…

…but to read the bloody thing out while sitting (presumably) in first class on the way to yet another pointless conference which will cost millions, waste millions and cause him to grow his ‘carbon footprint’ to elephantine proportions just beggars belief…

I give him six months tops.

It gets better yet!

Today I hear on the radio that this conference has cost £265million. This includes flying 65 chefs in from around the world to cater for the differing national tastes.

That £265m would have gone a long way toward settling the national debt of some small African nation. It would certainly have provided a lot of wells and toilets for those most in need.

We all know that the "officials" sort out all the details outside of the spotlight and the leaders meet, have their "debate" and then sign whatever their coivil servants tell them to. Why can't this be done via the telephone and inetrnet. We neither need nor want this grandstanding  cussing:

It gets worse and worse… can they really not see what they are doing?

I presume they had to fly a chef in from Glasgow to make the porridge wog, um porridge or deep fried Mars bars?  noooo:
