Stirling has been exposed as useless and pathetic for inspecting and prosecuting a bakery for serious breaches of food hygiene for 5 years without shutting them down.

Further evidence that local governments simply cannot be trusted to ensure food hygiene and maintain public health. Local governments are businness lobby groups and must be held accountable for their unethical secretive behaviour.

I used to buy SPY mag in the 80's when <a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/" rel="nofollow">Graydon Carter</a> now ed. of Vanity Fair ran these reports in it as humour. Now he owns a very costly cafe and if you look it up, you will see The Waverly Inn has rats, big NYC rats. I think we should have this same online searchable facility to refer to before we eat out. health inspection reports on NYC restaurants are published online.
search before you eat.
here’s a link.

I can't understand the variety of responses from the different states on what is a no-brainer. Shame these places and they'll pick up their act. If others heed the warning, standards will no doubt become a higher priority. Everyone wins. Keep up the great work! Like Sir Garence, I too am following with keen interest.
