Brendan Clarke-Smith. Wow:

There's never a fucking Dalek about when you need one, is there?

Funny how PMQs is focusing on health: I've been sat here waiting for a phone call from my GP since 8am this morning to discuss my blood tests.

And I'm still waiting.

He's previously described food banks as a political weapon:

EDIT:

Didn't Mad Nad use COVID as a weapon against Jeremy Hunt the other day?

As opposed to being a complete weapon himself.

Another scum "Red Waller" who owes his existence to Johnson.

I hadn't seen Bones' post when I posted this. Great minds and all that.

Great minds plagiarise, I ripped it off Facebook.

Another one who opens mouth before engaging what little brain she has.

Two wonderful excuses; “it was only a joke to break the ice” and “does not reflect my actual view”, her back catalogue tells a different story

They never do these "Jokes" about Westminster, Chelsea or Sandbanks, do they?

If they want us to start growing our own cucumbers to save the planet they'd better tell their mates at Bovis and Persimmon to start building houses with gardens. And just what the fuck is "responsibly-sourced venison"?

A leaked version of the government's new food strategy advises people to eat wild venison as a low-carbon alternative to beef and grow their own cucumbers to save the planet, reports claim.

The 27-page document, due to be officially released on Monday, follows two reports carried out by the co-founder of restaurant chain Leon, Henry Dimbleby, into the UK's food system.

His probes into obesity and the environment, commissioned by former environment minister Michael Gove, resulted in recommendations to expand free school meals, impose a long-campaigned for salt and sugar tax, and introduce GP prescriptions for fruit and veg.

But according to a version of the strategy, seen by The Guardian and The Telegraph, these proposals have been ignored in favour of "a statement of vague intentions" - Rob Percival, head of food policy at the Soil Association, said.

They include encouraging fish farming, long seen as highly damaging for the environment, increasing consumption of "responsibly sourced venison", food from algae proteins, and producing technology to help cattle produce less methane...

They're not even trying.

At least she didn't call them foetid shitholes inhabited by snowflakes...

But image the sizzle if Angela Rayner did

The responsibly sourced venison is the stuff that's shot on a Tory donor's estate.

>Googles<
We eat 1.2 million tons of beef a year in the UK.
Venison, 3,500 tons.

We'd have to increase the number of deer eaten (given that they are a lot smaller than beef cows) by about 700 times.

Right.

And the management of deer herds is much more intensive and controlled than cows

Was that strategy written by Foodie Bollocks from Viz?

But there are no profits in gardens. Looking at developments around my old patch (the latest being near Haddon) the ground should in fact be very good, as it was farmland until last year. But given its proximity to the A1(M) - as in, it's right next to it - it'll be maintenance-free dormitories for workers with jobs seventy miles south.

Meanwhile, you may wish to listen to this episode of Farming Today: it covers Human food from grass, lab-grown meat and robotic weeders.
