The mockney twat and Brighton are welcome to each other.
Jamie Oliver is taking on what may be his trickiest food health campaign to date as he tries to help an entire city cut down its sugar consumption.
Clearly the vile little shit doesn’t comprehend the principle of other people’s eating habits being none of his damned business.
Brighton and Hove has teamed up with the celebrity chef as it becomes the first UK city to tackle a growing problem regularly blamed for the rise in obesity levels.
Neither do the burghers of Brighton and Hove. We do not have an obesity crisis. Not least, obesity is being defined using a disreputable and unreliable metric and the definition changes at the will of the parasites in public health.
Oh, but it gets worse.
Restaurants and other food outlets will be called on to introduce a voluntary 10p health tax on all soft drinks with added sugar.
Hopefully, those outlets will tell them where they can stick their “voluntary tax”. Certainly if they did anything here, any outlet that tried to “tax” me extra in order to fund the egregious Oliver’s “charity” would be deprived of my business.
Brighton’s branch of the chef’s chain of Jamie’s Italian restaurants has already imposed its own levy.
Well, of course.
Supporters will hope the scheme proves successful and the Government takes notice after it rejected the chef’s campaign in September to get a wider sugar tax introduced across the country, despite a petition gaining more than 146,000 signatures.
The government was absolutely right to reject this nasty idea and the 146,000 evil, authoritarian fuckwits who signed this petition need to be told good and hard that what other people eat is none of their damned business -preferably by shoving their petition where it’s most likely to do some good.
Mr Oliver said: “Studies show that one in three of our children are leaving primary school overweight or obese and these children are likely to be the first generation that will have a shorter life span than their parents.”
The junk science demonstrates nothing of the sort. Indeed, we are constantly being told that millennials and the next generation will be centenarians, so make your minds up.
He said he hoped the Brighton and Hove “sugar smart city” scheme would inspire other councils across the UK to adopt similar campaigns.
They had better not. I refuse, absolutely, to pay any extra “tax” and I refuse, absolutely, to have my dietary choices manipulated by this self-righteous, pompous, interfering buffoon.
The Greens run Brighton Council eh?
Stewpid, self-righteous, pompous, interfering buffoon super gravity in action on the south coast then.
Not Green any more. It’s Labour at the moment, the Greens had minority control. However, I wouldn’t put it past Brighton to go for our Jamie’s ideas, they’re pretty weird down there. I lived there for 5 years.
Restaurateurs: Agree to this madness so you don’t get firebombed by activists. And then – “all soft drinks with added sugar” – DON’T add extra sugar. Simples.
H/T Viz.
This will be the first generation to have a shorter lifespan than its ‘parents’.
Except that for the purpose of the statistics the ‘parents’ are the older indigenous islanders and the ‘children’ are the inbred, fat-saturated young offspring of the Asian colonists.
A purely “voluntary” tax, really? Has there ever been such a tax that did not suddenly become your starter for ten? As for “10p” that little porkie is like the “Congestion Charge” that would be FROM 50p daily in Manchester that we Mancunians told them to stick where the sun shineth not. Of course a sizeable wedge of this “tax” will be used for “administration” by these apparatchiks who would charge all their expenses and junkets to their Taxpayer Credit Card and they NEVER leave home without it.
Where exactly will the money from this “voluntary tax” end up?
