Let them eat ...Lobster
Another enjoyable short that speaks for itself - it’s about a story in Tuesday’s Guardian .
That morning I was running around to get to work (late as usual) when BBC news announced that they would be running a News item later on “Lobster Eating” in Germany. I thought at the time “what’s that about?” But never got to hear it.
Turns out that Sahra Wagenknecht a “photogenic MEP for Germany's Left party” was photographed at a resturant eating lobster. She later thought that this may harm her media image, so she gets her assistant to lie and get hold of the camera to delete these pictures. She claimed she did this not because she was embarrassed but because she disliked the photos!
"I don't do anything that I say others shouldn't do," she told the daily TAZ.
"On the contrary, I'm fighting for a society in which everyone can afford to eat lobster."
Lovely stuff.
