[hometext] => UK specific: Jamie Oliver's School Dinners TV program
[bodytext] => Poor Jamie wrestles with such riddles To solve the school dinner fiddles. Can one man change the nation's childrens' health? Such a young man who already has such wealth; Responsibilities for a business empire, Kitchen staff to hire and fire, Family and work schedules to burst, Surely they must all come first? Yet, they talk in Whitehall's so busy firm Of "blanced portfolio of investments In the long and medium term." Apparatchiks trade jargon and memos, Far-fetched pharaohs make typos, With strict golden-fiscal-rules, So far removed from real schools. The point is blunt, poignant and cogent: Eight years of New Labour's proud investment, Has produced some losers, some winners, And given the current state of school dinners.
