A classic bit of England-centric reporting on #r4today. The lead story was the extension of free school meals in England, and to discuss they had a talking head from the IFS and a plummy-voiced self-styled “food campaigner”.

Why not ask someone from #Scotland, #Wales or #NorthernIreland about whether their governments’ policies (which already go further than the proposed English one will) have worked, and their impact‽

Said to me at key moments during my childhood.

It now echoes in my mind's ear as I read Dave Winer's (@davew) take on BikeSky's,

Excuse me,
