Saw this earlier, pretty bad decision from the council there.

Their response is awful.

It's not illegal to film Police Officers.

Really?

Falls under those often abused 'anti-terror' laws.

I myself had filmed two arrests as they were happening, in both cases one of the police officers came over to me and asked me to stop, in the first case I was even threatened with confiscation.

Streisand Effect.

This really is pathetic by the council! I'd love to see their justification and how small and mean they're going to look. It will be a PR disaster for them as this will blatantly go viral sooner rather than later!

after a headline calling for the dinner ladies to be sacked they decided that it would be best to stop it before any harm/abuse/publicity comes onto the staff. from paper reading idiots.

Quite, it's because the media ignore the fact the girl is complimentary about the majority of the meals and only highlight the 'bad ones' giving a false impression of the overall system.

I'd spotted now that he had tweeted about it.

Given that he has done so much for fighting school dinners and with this story now hitting national news (Headline, plus most shared and read story on BBC) I wonder whether he will step in.

I love the innocence of her rating system:

Food-o-meter- 9/10
Mouthfuls- I did count but I've forgotten!
Courses- starter/main/dessert
Health Rating- 7/10
Price- £2
Pieces of hair- 0

I miss the flapjacks we used to get sometimes. Massive chunky things chewy with golden syrup and topped with chocolate.

I'm hungry now...

Oh yeah, school flapjacks. And chocolate shortbread....

Mmmmmmmm

I have the recipes for both of those at home I'll have to see if I can dig them up at some point!

Someone should submit a FOI request to the council for any internal emails concerning the blog.

 

[anything I don't mind]

Why don't the girls parents just take the girl too a school when they have better meals? Oh sorry i forgot the parents have no alternative.

It's just been in the BBC News at One too. Really makes the Council look ridiculous!
