Jamie Oliver


I am a great fan of Jamie Oliver. He has a pleasing blokishness in a profession which tends towards personality and adulation, and I admire what he has done to help the losers in our society get a profession and do something, despite the efforts of the education and welfare systems to keep them in their place.


But in America he has surely gone too far. Telling the people of the fattest town in the fattest state that they are..er.. fat amounts to evangelism and is not pretty. Don't burst into tears, Jamie, come back and lecture us.


We like it.
