So, here in sunny Faversham, Domino Pizzas have been given permission to open a new outlet. This was despite fierce local opposition from residents and the town council.

At the borough council meeting to discuss the application, just before voting in favour of Dominos, a councillor from Sheppey is quoted as saying that ' Nobody knows how to cook these days, and without takeaways people will starve".

This is a councillor from the local authority which has one of the highest rates of obesity in the U.K.

You couldn't make it up, could you!!
