One thing we’re not short of in Britain is people telling us what to do.

We’re told what to eat, what to drink, what light bulbs to use, what to read to our children, what temperature to have our bathwater, where to shop, what to put in our compost bin and where to go on holiday.

The finger wagging never ceases.

So when Gordon Brown popped up the other day to tell us to eat our leftovers I would have thrown my dinner at the television – but I’d eaten it all.

Like most working families we can’t afford to waste food and rarely throw anything away – largely thanks to Brown relentlessly ratcheting up taxes over the past ten years.

Hasn’t he got anything better to do? For example running the country, although truth be told he’s making an absolute hash of that.

The Prime Minister then promptly left for the G8 summit where he dined on milk-fed lamb and pickled conger eel at numerous sumptuous banquets.

If he dares show his face around my way I can think of a very good use for some rotten tomatoes.
