4. His restaurant Fifteen serves overpriced canteen food. I've been there, and I've been to better cafes. This made me detest him lots more, especially as I was paying....grrrr.

5. I do think his cause is EXTREMELY worthwhile. But it's not like he's doing it becuase he actually cares...after all his brats will be going to private school. So his hypocracy makes me detest him more.

6. I have a very large issue here with a government that will bow the pressure of a loudmouth mediocre self-marketing hypocritical cook (note the absence of the word chef...I can't bring myself to use it when talking about him).

There are millions of parents who are very concerned about the standard (or lack of) with school dinners. The fact is that prison food is more beneficial to a rounded diet and such points have been raised time and time again.

But one little runt comes along and forces the government to do a U-turn...and we all roll-over and say thank you? Never mind what the parents have been asking for...Tone's down with Jamie...largin' it at no. 10...stuff the rest of us.

So today's pathetric attention seeking and election win-buying antics make me detest Jamie Oliver AND New Labour MORE THAN EVER.......

Phew!

Oh and by the way...listen carefully to Ruth Kelly's statement that only commits the spend for the next three years....after that you're on your own again. Unless St Jamie's still there to save us.
