And your cat's dinner for that matter, or any other pet, maybe even farm animal that you have cause to feed.
Recent "events" have shone a spotlight on Big Agriculture Big Chemistry and Big Food manufacturers, understandably with the emphasis on food for humans, so is it really any surprise that Big xyz have also been active in the provision of animal food?
Brownstone Institute is on the case.

If you are lamenting the current wintry British weather, spare a thought for those for whom the sun no longer shines - not until well into next year anyway.
"Ah but they are used to it" you cry - but so are we. British weather is still mild by comparison with similar latitudes in Europe, thanks to the benevolence of the Gulf Stream. And we benefit from daylight sunshine reasonably often during winter months, even if nowhere near sufficiently often to make Ed Miliband's fantasies into a viable power grid. Even so, a deep freeze winter is thankfully something of a rarity.
So how do those for whom a deep and dark freeze is an annual occurrence cope with their lot?

Browsing the net (as one does) I happened upon a Wikipedia page in honour of the Telegraph's satirical column of yesteryear (not to be confused with their current offering under the same title).
As a one-time dedicated Telegraph reader, Peter Simple's imaginary world of societal tragicomic over-earnest fashionably-deluded or simply bonkers characters would invariably bring a chuckle to contend inconveniently with ingestion of breakfast. His great facility in applying appropriate names to his inappropriate characters never ceased to amuse, names which effortlessly conjured the stereotype that we had never even considered existed.
If you too are of similar antiquity and like me never imagined that Peter Simple's make-believe Way of the World was exactly whither we were all inevitably headed, then this may bring it all back ...
(Warning - inadvisable to peruse whilst eating)
As always, if it's not for you, maybe best ignore this one 😎.

Dominic Frisby clearly enjoys himself, and so should we all.

It's a long time (unless you are our Judicial System) since we heard from my Dazolam, but somehow she still sees to be lost amid the long grasses much favoured by Obfu Scation and Avo Idance and their like, who perhaps cannot be removed on account of possible breaches of their inalienable human rights and must thus be granted Indefinite Leave to Remain regardless of their obvious incompatibility with modern British Values (whatever they may now be).
Some believe that in order to avoid the ever-growing possibility - nay likelihood - of violence, even civil war, breaking out between competing factions within the new glorious diversity of Modern UK (MUK), moves must now be put in hand to deal with the pathetic remnants of population who still support the outmoded so-called "British values", such as "fair play" "tolerance", "freedom of speech" "freedom of association" even "freedom to protest"(!), and waste their time in absurd traditional activities such as Cricket, Morris Dancing, Shove Ha'penny etc, not to mention exhibiting innumerable irrational traditions such as the Dunmow Flitch, Guy Fawkes night, even determinedly self-identifying as white English / Scottish / Welsh according to their sex, colour and place at birth. It's not even quaint!
There is only one possible solution, and it must be implemented urgently before matters get out of hand - they must be deported - lest even sterner measures may have to be taken!
