plans to hold jamie oliver' s big feastival at an olympic london live site were abandoned due to concerns over locog' s branding restrictions, event can reveal .
an olympic version of the music and food festival fronted by the popular chef was planned for this summer in victoria park, one of the bt london live sites offering entertainment and big screens showing olympic coverage .
with that set of dynamics there was a whole lot of interpretations. it was possible that any exhibitor at the feastival could have been regarded as a competitor to the olympic sponsors .
no - one really could give clarity because events like this haven’t been done before. the scale of the risk was hundreds of thousands of pounds .
clarke told event detailed plans had been made for the olympic feastival :
it was ready to go: we knew who the sponsors would be if we could sign them, we knew who our exhibitors would be if we could accept them and we knew who the talent would be if we could do the event. we set our own parameters on what we needed to have confidence about before we officially launched .
he added :
the gla team were keen for an event to represent the great food and drink in this country. the other party that really wanted to get involved and was disappointed was jamie oliver .
because the option of alex' s farm open to us as well, it made cancelling the olympic feastival an easier pill to swallow ,
said clarke .
he said a few changes would be made to last year' s festival :
i think [ rouge ] got a lot right with big feastival last year – it’s a music and food led festival and the premise is good. the big thing we’re changing is that it’s on a farm and we’re making it a camping event. we’re looking at around 20, 000 people whereas last year it had about 23, 000 .
we can’t reveal much more but we can say that alex james is very excited about the music content and is working with us, and jamie is very excited about the food and is also working with us. it will feel very relaxed but also very special .

for someone routinely cast as a clown presiding over an administration in chaos, donald trump has been very consistent about his agenda, and remarkably successful in achieving it, in the short term at least. by now, it seems clear that trump has absolutely no interest in retaining any vestige of the post ww2 architecture that ties the us into a collective agreement. in his hands, isolationism means being free to use american power against friends and foes alike.
