5 - Right enough - a cookery class. Money well spent. If you get people to look after themselves, perhaps the state won't have to spend so much on those who neglect themselves?

It's hardly a cordon bleu cookery course where they will learn how to make that perfect 'jus'.

I'll look back later to enjoy all the holier-than-thou anti-pleasure religious moralists, and sexually hung-up "jokes" by repressed weirdos, that any story to do with sex produces here from all the saddos. Always good for a giggle!

Cue everyone in sex-shame denial...........

Coq au vin (apparently it is pronouced c-ock o van) and could be a dish for the ladies of the night who are always on the move?

Sorry Miss Jenny I was only having a laugh. I wont do it again promise!

What about Gordon Brown saying we should all cook our left overs. Don't fancy that much given the meat they had the night before....it's an outrage etc

I am absolutely outraged. Outraged.

In South East Asia they sometimes eat dogs and cats.

But chewing on a nice firm pair of puppies, or eating a silky p|_|ssy would in this country be illegal.

22 - is it political correctness gone mad? is it one of those "you couldn't make it up" stories? is it "it's one rule for prostitutes and another rule for everyone else"?

Who would you like to blame? Lefties, the EU, Immigrants or the Jews?
24

Jenny MacArthur... you completed the 'switch the cooker on' class yet??... ;-)
25

La5t_minit,

17/07/2008 14:24:04
#22.. Nope, its teh politicians to blame. They need to find something to pass the time now that they can only spend £2400 in Lewis's. Lunch and dinner take ona new meaning now on their expences...
26

Duncan in Edinburgh,

17/07/2008 14:51:33
#24 Thank you for caring. I need to consult the Daily Mail before answering conclusively, but I have a suspicion this is all the fault of so called "political correctness" - gone mad! Either that, or it's a hangover from the Labour administration, who have left "loony" policy bombs all over the council set to go off and cause sensational headlines like this for the next 4 (four) years.

Hi # 11 Jenny. I recommend that you check out Roger Melly's book "Profanisaurus". You'll have an even better giggle.

So far i like Spotted Dick best.

a lot of these girls have lead chaotic lives with little structure or "normality",so i think cooking is a good way to start off,and it can be fun too,

It's enlightening to read all these educated comments - are they all from men I wonder!! Or is that comment politically incorrect?
33

gorgeousgorgieboy,

Ghandi Girl.

Of course its politically incorrect.

Ever tried a white pudding supper?

I think its sexist giving these women cooking lessons.

It's like moving them from COMMERCIAL PATRIARCHAL SUBJECTION to DOMESTIC PATRIARCHAL SUBJECTION

These women must be taught non-gender specific wrk if they are to grow as human beings and not sell themselves for money and free cookery tips.

These women must be taught how to be a workie on the tram lines, not how to squeeze a lemon.

This is a disgrace.

I pay for these birds and THEY get the free cooking lessons? What about me ? Next time I hand over my payment I will be demanding a dish of pan fried seabass after I am finished.

Why cooking lessons? Why not something like business courses, or plumbing?

artemisclyde,

for such a small article, it's prompted some debate.

i think its small fry money - 55k compared to some of the waste that goes on.

People squeal about so called soft touches, but if prison worked, there'd be no crime. We need to think more laterally on this.

Crime is caused by deprivation, mental illness, drug addiction, desperation. To solve it, you don't just lock people away with no education, training or group support work or throw them further to the edges of society.

People become less of a burden on society when they are given the tools to look after themselves.

Would it not be cheaper to give them a few quid for a sausage supper? Or would that be mixing buisness and pleasure?

Meat and two veg?

Some of the above comments are really sick!!

Women who turn to PROSTITUTEION do so because they have other problems such as drug addiction or really bad debt and they see it as a way in making the money they need. These women tend to expernce a lot of vilonce towards them and some of them might be to scared of stoping as they may face villonce from pimps and/or exclints

These intervention aren't just about the cooking, it has a soisal inculison strattagies. The whole process is about incurraging communication as well as giving idea on healthier eating.

The communication is a key thing for thoes in a situation of crisis. Get them talking about food then you can build up their trust and may be they'll talk about the things that matter and might even look for help to to iprove their lifestyle.
