Globular Britain

As Britain's reduced place in the world becomes traumatically clear even inside the Westminster wendy-house, it becomes ever more vital to ensure that the bulk of our citizens can keep up with America. Processed foods are cheap, addictive and have no nutritional value, and can also be bad for the health; this is good for multinational corporations and sellers of dietary snake-oil, and easily good enough for the proles, yet pessimists and nay-sayers persist in claiming that the glass is too full. Mere experts and foreigners with funny names have had the nerve to criticise the stout British consumer's eating habits, which are the results of a thousand glorious years of culinary tradition, deliciously topped with a couple of light, foaming decades of deregulation and diseducation. Oddly enough, Her Majesty's Government does not appear to have extruded a spokesbeing to wag a finger at the proles for their childish and greedy habits; presumably because of the usual ministerial digestive troubles when it comes to imbibing solid facts.
