A quick visit to the past - if you type ‘Ed Miliband’ into Google the second most likely
bit of additional text offered by the Mighty Search Machine is ‘bacon sandwich’. All
that expensive image management effort wasted. I don’t know why they bother.
Yet while we are on the subject of bacon sandwiches, eating is a
rum game anyway isn’t it? Take the bacon sandwich for example. Firstly we insert it it into our mouths as elegantly as possible. Then it is masticated, absorbed and as if by magic turns
into enough energy to mow the lawn.
Which is fine if you want to mow the lawn or do something else equally useful, but what about
politicians such as Ed? If they eventually manage to gobble up a bacon sandwich they are liable to turn it into enough energy to talk bollocks for a few hours. Seems like a waste of bacon to
me.

Undeterred, the image management industry just add "bacon sandwich" to the "don't" section of the professional handbook.
Ha ha ha!
Try 'politician banana' as well..;0)
Sam - it's probably a very long list indeed. "Don't have good ideas - people don't like them" also springs to mind as a possibility.
Scrobs - they should avoid eating in public altogether. Talking too probably.
Reminds me of John Selwyn Gummer ( aka Lord Deben) ostentatiously feeding a beef burger to his 4 year old daughter during the scare about mad cow disease.( BSE)
As the scare was stoked up by the media, the EU placed a ban on the export of British beef but continued to permit its sale to. British people! All sorts of rather potty restrictions were enforced, including a ban on selling beef on the bone. We organised a “Roast Beef of Old England” party with ribs of beef which was a local success for the independence movement..
At one time, the Guardian ( if I remember rightly) was predicting hundreds of thousands of deaths from Kreuzfeld Jacob disease and travel restrictions to be imposed on British people by the EU. It is a beastly and incurable disease, still sometimes called “ the human form of BSE”.
I met a German veterinary surgeon on my travels as the scare was abating and asked him why the BSE was so much less common in Germany where cattle feeding practices were very similar to ours. “ The German farmer does not have BSE” he said “ because he has JCB”
Edward - I remember the prediction of hundreds of thousands of deaths too. Almost bound to have been the Guardian.
