Let them eat medals
Elderly people are going hungry in hospital because staff fail to ensure they are fed, a charity has said.
What is it about old people anyway? ‘Wah, I’m hungry!’ The whining, ungrateful sods should have learned to do a bit of running and jumping about. Then they’d be on a gold jumbo jet quaffing ‘extra’ champagne and gorging on steak and mushroom pie with parsley mash, fillet of beef with lyonnaise potatoes or baked cod with a herb and lobster sauce. Instead, they’re lying in their beds malnourished and terrified they’re going to die a slow death. Who’s fault is that?
Some people just won’t help themselves.

Its a disgrace. No-one in care should be going hungry. Its time for people to be held accountable, but they never are.

Who does things like this!

Actually, looking at the toe curling ‘reception’ the UK athletes are currently having to endure down at Heathrow airport, I think most of them would opt for the calorie restriction.
You should see little Harriet Harman in her 2012 t-shirt. Positively jumping up and down. There’s Gordon, of course, his jaw slackening and lurching at regular intervals, and there’s a very oily looking suit: I think it’s Andy Burnham.
I had another look: it’s not Harriet Harman, it’s Tessa Jowell.
An easy mistake to make – they were grown in the same vat.
