One of the little legends of American politics is the Tale of Carter’s Sweater, being an allegory for things that might be a good idea, but are too trivial for politicians to be seen to be dealing with. Well in the UK we now have the Legend of Brown’s Lunchbox.* The PM has decided to remind us not to throw out too much food, because it’s like throwing away money I guess. Just as with Carter he’s right, and just as with Carter if our leader is worried about the masses letting yoghurt go out of date then either he’s an imbecile or we’re all screwed. Or both, I guess.

*No, not that one.
