Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver said he is 'bored with being polite' about parents who fill their children's lunchboxes with junk food. The Daily Mail quoted Jamie's scathing remarks made at the launch of his new TV programme 'Jamie's Return to School Dinners'. 'I have seen kids of the ages of four or five open their lunch box and inside is a cold, half-eaten McDonald's, multiple packets of crisps and a can of Red Bull,' he said. 'You laugh and then you want to cry.' The Daily Mail also reported on a leaked Downing Street memo about the possibility of Prime Minister Tony Blair appearing on 'Blue Peter' once he leaves office. The paper said that the memo from one of Mr Blair's loyal staff suggested that a spot on the children's show might improve his public image.
