I READ with interest the article in the Guardian concerning the letter written by the Tory candidate for Tatton, George Osbourne, asking for a ban on all French meat in our schools.

I assume from his stance on the matter, that he backs the Tory party line up of persuading the public at large to boycott all French produce and buy British.

I suppose his next move will be a letter to all Tatton Tories asking them to empty their fridges and wine cellars of all things French and to buy no more French wines with their all British produce meals. This done, I for one will give him my wholehearted backing and I will see him in cloud cuckoo land.
