There was good news yesterday for Ed Milliband, when the government announced another U turn. They seem to be performing so many these days, that to the casual observer like myself, they seem to be going round in circles. So he must have been delighted at the climb-down on the proposed Vat changes, the so called pasty tax.
Recently introduced to the gourmet delights of traditional Cornish pasties, by his posh chums, Ed Balls and Rachel Reeves, both of whom were educated at Oxford university. Doubtless, his delight is shared by another old chum, Baron Prescott of Kingston upon Hull. I do hope that this new found love of Cornish delicacies, does not wane if he encounters Stargazy pie at another photo opportunity. He would do well to remember the faux pas allegedly committed by Lord Mandleson, when he was out electioneering with the lower orders. It is claimed that when he entered a working class fish and chip shop and placed an order, he asked for some of that guacamole to go it.
Yet another climbdown, this time over Vat increases on static caravans must have been good news too, for Margarett Beckett, well known for her love of caravanning holidays. A move that must have made a double celebration for Baron Prescott, as most of them are made in his part of the country. An area once described by Chaucer, as "a mersshy contree, called holdernesse."
