THATS SNOW U-TURN!

Krishnan from C4's news and snowmails:

Amazing what you can achieve if you hit a populist cause just before an
election...


Jamie's Policy?
===================

With a straight face Ruth Kelly, the Education Secretary, insists it's
just a coincidence that she has announced an extra £220 million for
school meals in England on the day Jamie Oliver had breakfast with Tony
Blair and presented a petition with more than a quarter of a million
names on it demanding more money for school meals.

In my wildest dreams I've often imagined celebrities using their status and the media to bypass politics and get the right thing done. Jamie Oliver has done it. I sincerely hope that Geldof and Bono can do the same thing this summer with the make poverty history campaign. Its the right thing to do.
