Gordon's gathering Part II

Funnily enough, there is a level of scepticism in the farming community about Prime Minister Gordon Brown's decision to hold a food summit.

The meeting is yet to take place, but FWiSpace forum member Jacobus has got his own ideas about what has prompted it and what is likely to be said.

Here's a taster:

There's no doubt about it, those Filipinos and Bangladeshis who have had a hard day queueing up for their rice rations will be able to sleep easier in their beds tonight, secure in the knowledge that Flash Gordon has been holding a 'summit' at Number 10 with the supermarket bosses and Peter Kendall.

Fresh from a triumphant visit to the USA, where he took care to avoid confusion with another contemporaneous visitor by not wearing white and by not being chauffeured around in a gas guzzling 'Flash Mobile', Gordon feels that he is at the height of his powers.

Look how his last budget 'simplified' the tax system by abolishing the lower rate band and forcing lower income families to pay more tax and apply to join the benefit culture to claim it back in tax credits - too bad about the 5.3 million workers who don't qualify!
