Caroline Simons' Youtube rant against 3-D chickens on Dame St.

[mccafferty cat]

Here's something bizarre which I spotted yesterday. She's really fighting this election on all the right issues......

It kind of reminds me of this:

Glad to see Caroline Simons does not see the importance of labelling ingredients to which people may be highly allergic on general foodstuffs.

A good friend of mine is allergic to milk and dairy products - should she not be entitled to know whether such produce is in the food she is eating? Seemingly this is not something which is important if you listen to Ms Simons.

I'll definately vote for the chicken ahead of Simons

That new building beside city hall really looks sh1t doesent it. The glazing was completely botched. And this is coming from an Architect.

As for libertas and their campaign for spending less, is that now one of their policys? Whether its the contents of our food or the contents of the Lisbon treaty, they seem to have a problem with people being given unbiased or factual info.

I like labeling

I want to be assured of the provenance of the food that I consume.

(anyone caught incorrectly labeling food should be subject to severe penalties / laws)

All those bikes. I thought it was a Green thing.

I've heard the building being nicknamed "Robocop" And yeah... it's a balls-up of a structure.
As for Sr Caroline, it is definitely good to see that she has a keen grasp on the issues.

Gosh, she makes the Queen sound like a aul' tart.

Yes, I fail to see what's wrong with labelling, unless you aren't interested in what you're eating, or unless you're representing business interests who don't want consumers knowing what they're eating. There's no way to tell, looking at a chicken, if it's been pumped with water to artificially inflate it, unless it says so on a label.

Perhaps she might be better off picking something that the EU does which is genuinely useless, as opposed to one of the very useful things they do!

I actually like knowing lots about my food, otherwise you could be eating corporate, GM, chemically injected, 'chickens' with misleading origin labels.
