Who CARES, really, about what they ate, its normal practice i daresay and i think its absolutely fine actually. What were they supposed to eat, a bowl of rice?? Is that how un-intelligent that our media is? There are food shortages and we waste LOADS, food prices are rocketing and that is going to affect the poorer people in the world the hardest. I am sure there are much more important WASTES going on through government than some poxy banquet. Billions of pounds on wars that we shouldn't be fighting (no disrespect to our wonderful armed forces btw) etc etc. Im no politician and i actually understand very little about it. But it was such an obvious thing to jump on, its pathetic.
Our local radio station this morning tried to show how bad it was, but sitting some guy down to an 8 course breakfast - its hardly the same.
Regardless of what i think about Gordon Brown (cough-tosser) i think there are far more important things to worry about than their eating arrangements during a major conference.
AIBU?
To not give a flying fart about Gordon Brown's banquet.
