Brown’s exhortation to cut food waste, though probably entirely sensible, demonstrates once again how badly his administration lacks the instinct for the mood of the public that served Blair’s so well. Had he said this a year or so ago - when there was actually quite a lot of concern about food being too cheap - it would have appeared prudent, honest and sensible. Now, though, it pricks people’s resentment rather than their guilt, making him seem puritanical and unsympathetic.
UPDATE: Martin Bright agrees with me.
