What on earth was he thinking to punish his daughter by sneaking a scotch bonnet onto her apple,
and what makes him think you are not allowed to tell children off or smack them?

(chopped) QUOTE.
"The celebrity chef admitted on Monday that because 'you can't smack naughty kids' when one of his four young children became unruly or disrespectful, he would coat their sliced apple with a type of chili known as the Scotch bonnet.
‘I give them chillies for punishment. It is not very popular beating kids any more, it’s not very fashionable and you are not allowed to do it and if you are a celebrity chef like me it does not look very good in the paper. So you need a few options.'
Oliver said he had once tricked his 12-year-old daughter into eating an ultra-hot Scotch Bonnet, much to the annoyance of his wife, Jools.
At the BBC Good Food Show, Oliver said: ‘Poppy was quite disrespectful and rude to me and she pushed her luck. In my day I would have got a bit of a telling-off but you are not allowed to do that.
‘Five minutes later she thought I had forgotten and I hadn’t. She asked for an apple. I cut it up into several pieces and rubbed it with Scotch Bonnet and it worked a treat. She ran up to mum and said, “This is peppery”. I was in the corner laughing. [Jools] said to me, “Don’t you ever do that again”.’"

living in a celebrity cacoon where he thinks he can say things- which are not really that dire- and the great public will chortle along with him.

Apparently does not realise that the Howling Mob are awaiting with pitch forks eager to rip apart who they perceive as a witch.

some of that mob work on newspapers.

He is just a patronising twat, clip round the ear never did me harm.

He's opened a 'rustic' pizzeria near us. By 'rustic,' I take it he means 'shambolic,' because it features a different style of battered old chair and table for every spot, and a completely arbitrary selection of decorations. It basically looks as if a skip has vomited into a confined space. Nice pizzas, but, to quote Terry-Thomas, what an absolute shower.

As for Jamie himself, well, I find him sadly depressive. There's zero joy behind the eyes, even when he's claiming he's delighted with something. He'll probably end up a hermit in the south of France.
