Jamie Oliver Says Lock Up The Kids
“JAMIE Oliver, the celebrity chef, has backed a plan to prevent children buying junk food by locking their school gates at lunchtimes,” observes the Telegraph.
It seems that children don’t all like eating polenta and coucous and like to eat crisps, chips and foot-long chocolate bars.
Says Oliver: “If the kids won’t come to you, take the food to the kids with satellite kitchens that can go in the playground.”
These are known in the TV business as carting vans and to late-night drinkers as the last resort.
Oliver is right, of course. In this fair and free land the kids should be locked up and made to eat what is handed to them in a Government-sanctioned canteen on pain of starvation.
Some will try to escape. And being so very thin they may well wriggle out between the bars.
But they won’t get far.
The idea is being considered in Denbighshire, North Wales, where the local Welsh nationalists have been informed that all sweet shops and takeaways are owned by English barons.
They are being firebombed as we write…

Maz how is locking the school gate imprisoning them. Are they allowed to be out anyway?
If there’s a problem with obesity then it is right for the govt to address it. Junk food should not be allowed at school. Knock yourself out on the stuff at home, but toe the line and do your kids’ health a favour at school.

Suspend Habeas Corpus!
This adds up to imprisonment without trial. Criminals can’t be treated like this. So if the children don’t like to eat bland, tasteless “healthy” food will they be allowed to starve or will the teachers force feed them?
Teachers already think they can police children’s lunch boxes, “confiscating” (actually stealing) any “unhealthy” food. Never mind that this is someone else’s property, paid for with someone else’s money.
Parents are criticised if their children misbehave, but they are continually disempowered by teachers and politicians. They are not allowed to discipline their children, nor can they now choose what to feed them.
If a parent locked up their children, or failed to nourish them, social services would soon become involved. But it is OK for teachers to imprison children.
