MSG

I have had personal and political doubts about Mono Sodium Glutamate for a long time. There is an abundance of evidence that illustrates the dangers of excess MSG. Nick Clegg, I know, takes the issue very seriously indeed. And we Liberal Democrats have an obligation to pinpoint the risks and minimise them. That is why I intend to make a start in County Hall to reduce and - soon - remove all traces of MSG from the diets of our vital workforce and also the County's school children. To this end I have drawn up a document for discussion with the County's legal advisers. It was, thus, with some alarm that a real "live" MSG appeared out of the ether on the Somerset County Council email system. MSGould@somerset.gov.uk turns out to be the top flight legal fireman Alan has hired to fill the ample boots of our dear David Corry, who is leaving us to spend more time following ecclesiastical pursuits. Mr Gould sounds like the sort of person we need. All I need to do is get his e-mail changed.
