Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play

Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day

The sun is up, the sky is blue

It's beautiful and so are you

Dear Prudence won't you come out to play

Dear Prudence open up your eyes

Dear Prudence see the sunny skies

The wind is low the birds will sing

That you are part of everything

Dear Prudence won't you open up your eyes?

Look around round round

Look around round round

Look around round round

Dear Prudence let me see you smile

Dear Prudence like a little child

The clouds will be a daisy chain

So let me see you smile again

Dear Prudence won't you let me see you smile?

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play

Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day

The sun is up, the sky is blue

It's beautiful and so are you

Dear Prudence won't you come out to play

Answer 5

If I'm not mistaken, the research cited found that an alarming amount of food was thrown away because it was approaching its "best before" or "sell by" date. I emphasise, *approaching*.

We didn't have such things as "best before" and "sell by" dates until recent years: instead we bought fresh, unprocessed food and for survival we relied on common knowledge, common sense and instinct, and I think that our Prime Minister should look closer to home for the reasons why we have become wasteful on an unprecedented and unsustainable scale.

For example, he may also look at the fact that a vast proportion of people these days need to use fossil fuel in order to get to work, whereas we commonly used to walk.

What I'm saying in essence is that the developed world now expects luxuries that the planet we live on cannot afford, and it's politicians who facilitated those luxuries in exchange for votes.

More specifically and more critically, what I'm saying is that politicians don't want us to think; just enjoy what we're given, which includes ready meals, TV, the National Lottery, free tranquilizers, and so on. If on the other hand, like you, we ask searching questions then they'll only be embarrassed.

Answer 6

I can be called whatever you want

Answer 7

I think you'll find he's telling us that he can't afford to feed us any more.

Answer 8

On issues such as this, I always have to wonder why people are so unwilling to mention overpopulation. When any species is so successful that it overpopulates then, naturally, it starves. Perhaps that's what the Prime Minister is saying, in an obscurely roundabout way.

Either that or he's simply blaming the electorate in advance for what he concedes are inevitable future food price increases.
