You're a proper fool then Tim.
I never said anything about taking them seriously, I just said debating what they ate is a fucking Guardian special.
I'm sure our leaders are very happy that they've cleverly distracted you from the real issues with a posh prawn cocktail.

"They'll be discussing the meal for months! We'll get away with all it!"

no, moth, actually their lavish meal highlights the arrogance of politicians and makes the issue of global food prices even more pertinent.

So, how's the party going?
What's for dinner?

I've just realised I'm in the wrong thread, my charity of choice is a donkey sanctuary in Hampshire.
- Spookytim0
Moth, you have a career in politics.

No Spookytim, I do not agree that their meal matters.
I agree they are a joke and the G8 is a farce, but the meal (again) has nothing to do with that as my conclusion.

It was a farce BEFORE lunch.
- Khurram0
you don't know fuck all about the G8, stop pretending you do.
- It's about a jolly good lunch.********
- apparently.********
- sounds like my kind of thing.
I like luncheon.******** - Everyone should get more lunch.
Am i getting closer?******** - Lunch the World!********
- makes the meal more relevant really... discuss lunch, over lunch.********
- It's an informal forum of the world's 8 richest countries to discuss issues of mutual concern.Khurram
- yes kuz. i know what it is.********
- It's about a jolly good lunch.

Maybe I misunderstood your point of view completely then Moth.
Or, maybe you just performed a shameless volte faccia right here in full view, without even flinching. One would have to re-read the entire thread to decide who's at fault though and I'm not fussed which of us it is who ends up with egg on his face.
- If it was you though, like I said, you have a promising career in politics.Spookytim
- Maybe you're taking him too seriously and identifying him to much with the character he built for himself here on QBNFariska
- volte faccia? Is that an Italian bread.********
- Yeah maybe... I don't think I've ever exchanged posts with him before so I don;t know his form. A troll?Spookytim
- He's attached himself to this weird Jeremy Clarksonesque identity over the years...Khurram
- troll?********
- But I still love him. You hear that?? I fucking love you Michael Francis Thomas!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!Khurram
- volte faccia is a type of bread which has sausages in it.chossy
- High jeans.
'volte face' - bastard, I was scratching for a term like that around post #23. i h8 u.detritus - and btw is voltafaccia (face turning)Fariska
- I hybridised the portuguese and french to show a little pizazz.Spookytim

somewhere is the knotted bushes of his mind, Moth has a point.
why are they making an issue of a hypocrisy/arrogance we already know ?
although, I'd like to know what you think they should be covering?
- ********0
In all seriousness then Spookytim (to avoid you thinking I'm trolling), eating a humble meal would have been a nice symbolic gesture - I agree. But in my mind, we have far too many symbolic gestures and not enough real ones from our leaders. I'd rather be concerned with the lack of the latter.
- rafalski0
Actually, what they're doing is a gesture. It is a clear statement and I'm sure they think they're doing the right thing.

its getting better

"The Prime Minister was served 24 different dishes during his first day at the summit – just hours after urging the world to reduce the "unnecessary demand" for food and calling on British families to cut back on their wasteful use of food...""...The banquet was accompanied by five different wines from around the world including champagne, a French Bourgogne and sake.
African leaders including the heads of Ethiopia, Tanzania and Senegal who had taken part in talks during the day were not invited to the function... "
- as long as he ate all the 24 different dishes it's not a waste, my tummy is still sore :'(chossy

"African leaders including the heads of Ethiopia, Tanzania and Senegal who had taken part in talks during the day were not invited to the function."
They aren't in the G8.
