And the vegetables, Ma'am?

Anyone remember Spitting Image's most famous put down of a government where no one moved unless the boss said so?

David Miliband's declaration that large numbers of voters buy organic food as a 'lifestyle' choice is a significant self-inflicted injury.


"Planes, trains... and aubergines!

When something like this is announced, I immediately look for the agenda behind the back-story.

But for once I am damned if I can find it... yet. Doubtless it will soon become clear once the first punt has seeded, settled in and had a chance to die down.

One thing is for sure, different aspects of government, and the talking heads at the top/in charge (if that's what they are), don't seem to be singing from the same hymn sheet at present, especially across the eco-enviro spectrum."
