Nanny State
Our not so glorious leader today chided the British people for throwing away too much food. I think that might actually be the very pinnacle of this labour governments attempts to control us, the ultimate expression of the nanny state, we're now being told off for not finishing our dinner! Who are you, my mother? Also, I wonder what exactly the mechanism is by which throwing food away increases the price of other food. Surely it's the buying of the unnecessary food that increases it's price, by creating an artificial shortage, what you do with it after you've purchased it is neither here nor there, you could eat it, feed it to cows or pigeons, set fire to it or just chuck it all in the bin. Also, given the mess that the economy is in, especially given that ours is so consumer led, I'm not sure of the sense of telling consumers to stop shopping. Still, he's the Prime Minister, not me.I did the deliveries again this morning, and I felt utterly shattered when I got back, crashed out and slept right through the alarm I'd set to wake me up. About an hour later Archie in his never ending quest for food, finally woke me up. It's not good to be this tired at the very start of the week, and I'm delivering again tomorrow, so wish me luck; it's nearly time for bed!
