DOUGLAS JAY

If you tried to turn figures into human form and give a computer flesh and blood you would probably end up with something like Mr. Jay. He is the personification of joylessness, the missing link between man and the machine.

It is one of the misfortunes of life that a public figure can forever be associated with one inaccurate remark, taken out of context, and never intended to carry an immortal interpretation. For half a century Douglas Jay suffered as the originator of the sinister aphorism “the man in Whitehall knows best” ... “the Gentleman in Whitehall is usually right”.

For in the case of nutrition and health, just as in the case of education, the gentleman in Whitehall really does know better what is good for people than the people know themselves.
