MAY I ask supermarkets if, instead of throwing food into a skip for dumping, would they kindly donate it to Father Jim McCartney's soup kitchen in Blackburn.
He gives unfortunates a lunch and, on alternate days, supper. I ask because his church is in an insalubrious area.
May I also ask if Conservative correspondents D Pearson and Walt Meadows would be willing to contribute to the kitchen, because it's their party's policies that have taken us back even further than Queen Victoria's time?
