Small-minded Bureaucracy

[poliphilo]

Does a local council have the power to stop a child posting pictures of her school dinners on her blog? The one in this story thinks it does.

The blog is politely critical, charming, responsible and constructive. It has an international readership. The girl's school is supportive. Only the Council objects.

There's a certain type of jack-in-office that hates any kind of scrutiny- and never saw an independent initiative it didn't want to squash.

School meals are a big issue over here, but it's about nutrition, not privatization- at least I think it is.
The TV chef, Jamie Oliver, has been banging on for years about how we need to feed our children right.

You no doubt have a better feel for the issues than I do, but I don't trust the Tories.
