Her articles are usually well-informed and interesting.<br /><br />I'm with Jonathan on what to do about her daughter - if she has no money, she won't buy sweets. Anyway, if her greatest fear is that her daughter become obese, she should know that it's not by buying the odd packet of sweets that this is going to happen. <br /><br />I had a free subscription to the Times but it's run out and I'm not giving money to Murdoch so I haven't renewed it.<br />Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195684182481935384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-42678899803437841752013-01-31T06:45:56.909+00:002013-01-31T06:45:56.909+00:00That does at least partially explain Michael Gove....That does at least partially explain Michael Gove. <br /><br />That particular line is already well blurred but, in my experience the children are refreshingly adept at seeing through the politicians.

Who is this revolting woman? Worryingly, she is backed in the admittedly sparse comments section. Clearly sugar is the new tobacco. A financial empire built on slavery so it was and no possible good could come of that!
