No mobile for Jamie at G20 summit

No mobile for Jamie at G20 summit

Jamie Oliver will be deprived of his mobile phone while cooking for the G20 summit banquet at No 10, it is reported, even though his wife, Jools, is about to give birth to their third child.

This is for 'security reasons' - meaning the presence of President Barack Obama. It's said that more than 500 officials and staff will accompany Obama, whose $300,000 armour-plated limousine, known as the Beast, will also be ferried over for him.

A U.S. official explains: 'When the President travels, the White House travels with him, right down to the car he drives, the water he drinks, the gasoline he uses, the food he eats.

'America is still the sole superpower and the President must have the ability to handle any crisis, anywhere, any time.' Supposedly more 'cool' than his predecessor, George W. Bush, Obama nevertheless shows no signs of scaling down the inyourface vulgarity of U.S. presidential visits overseas. 'Security' is the catch-all excuse offered.

Why don't they grow up and calm down?
