It is sad that it's taken a celebrity chef to get Governmrent action. Should have been a much higher priority.

That's the biggest pile of drivel I've heard since Jamie Oliver last opened his mouth. We have had eight years of Labour rule, under which County Council grants have been continually slashed - which is what has been forcing up our Council Tax. please bear in mind that Maggie Thatcher hasn't been in power for the last FIFTEEN YEARS, well over one generation of complete schooling.

As I say should have been a much higher priority but the problem ultimately began with the Milk Snatcher. And remember too that for two of those 8 years Labour had committed itself to Tory spending limits (as part of its attempt to win voter's trust. Probably unnecessary given the eventual result, but understandable.). And post Thatcher we had Major. There remains a lot of Tory work to be undone. I'd like to see the pace of change increased. Me I'd abolish Council Tax and institute the LDs local income tax (and 50% rate for that matter) but that is for another day

Well I did watch it...and it wasn't quite as bad as I thought....mostly becuase the naked one wasn't in it that much. Personally if it was just that cool Irish dinner lady Nora presenting it...i'd be glued...I think she's great!

Agreed. A natural.

As I said on the previous page and again above....this is a worthwhile cause. If I wanted to nit pick...and boy do I....I think Oliver's plans were too much too soon, as with all of his mediocre food it was too prissy...I feel it would have cuased fewer problems initially if he offered similar meals to what the brats were eating, but healthier.

Agreed again. He needs to empathise with kids more when developing recipes, especially the working class kids he was serving who will have a whole different understanding of 'rocket' than him.
