Ich Bin Ein Milibander


In my view the Labour party has got itself into a terrible mess over 'cuts' and public spending - of which more later.

But in the meantime here's a post from April 2011 - an extract of from the Private Eye - making fun of Ed Miliband's speech to a TUC 'anti-cuts' protest in the spring of last year.

Now I can see why the Bubs are mad at Ed - they get him elected as Labour leader, he eggs them on, and even joins their rallies and protests - but suddenly Ed decides to dump them when the going gets tough - without so much as a backward glance.

Maybe they deserve each other - time will tell.

That Miliband Hyde Park Speech - What You Missed.

Today I stand before you, a simple Labour leader, to join your protest against some of the cuts, though obviously not all of them because let's face it if we'd been elected we would have to have made some too... (boos from audience).

No let me finish if it hadn't been for the previous Labour government we wouldn't be here today, hang on ...(more boos from audience) let me finish by saluting you all and assuring you in the words of Martin Luther Kennedy, "Ich Bin Ein Milibander".

Kentucky Fried Seagull

Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall is one of my favourite - and endearingly bonkers - TV chefs. The River Cottage chef has a some imaginative ideas for adding seagulls to the national diet - including a recipe for Kentucky Fried Seagull - would you believe. Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
