Cosmetic surgery is available on the NHS.

The NHS does not do none-medically urgent surgery unless there's a real need.

e.g. the absence of said operation will lead to suicide or otherwise untreatable severe mental illness. Counselling/therapy is no magic wand, it only works for a limited number of capable/interested patients.

So yeh there's a need for it.

Also, it totally depends on your primary care trust. 90% of people who apply for NHS plastic surgery are refused the first time and many don't make it through the appeal. It's very difficult to get. You basically need to tick every box on their quality of life assessment. If you are offered it, it's not lightly.

Wouldn't it be easier for the NHS to have a dating agency to match up physically diferent people, with the people who love them.

I for one thought the female dwarf on Life's too short was smoking hot. And unlikely to try and run between my legs and bite my scrotum. As I suspect most midgets want to do, especially Tom Cruise.

Like some deformed human Tetris?

That is shocking. Almost hope that it was some sort of phycotic episode, of course it is still horrific but it is hard to imagine someone been in control and doing such a thing.

I assume you're referring to the murder

As long as the limited NHS budget is spent on gender reassignments for the sexually confused and hymen replacements for slaggy Muslims, then I'm a happy chappy.

Tired of those cancer whores hogging all the dough.

How about combining sex changes and rehymenations into one operation

F**king hell!

There is a point that tolerance and understanding runs out. Any preachers supporting this murderous nonsence should get a life sentence.

I'm not generalising but the people who do this really are ignorant.

Two things.

1) The money put aside for surgeries is never taken from any other budget. No one dips into money for curing the sick for plastic surgery. The money comes from a separate fund set up by the PCT.

2) The vast majority of those surgeries, about 80%, are actually on people who have had cancer and have had skin and tissue removed. They normally have to fight to get this done. They don't get it automatically.

Ruby, I am trying to make light of a very serious subject, no real offence is intended.

Good idea. If a lady comes in for a double masectomy, cheer them up by whacking on a cock and balls and calling them Graham.

I know. I just didn't want some troll running with it.

You are harmless. Except when you make roofie-tinis.

Did we misjudge the Royal Bodyguard? It appears that Guy Hubble is alive and well and mismanaging royal security.

Yes, I am pretty comfortable saying that binding your baby up in rope and tying it to a piece of wood is moronic. The baby is certainly a victim.

View original

Yes, we agree that the kids are victims, but my main point concerns those people who do these things to themselves, as part of their culture. "Mursi girls of age 13 to 18 decide for themselves whether to wear a lip plate or not." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lip_plate

I wouldn't call them morons.

Putting on lipstick is not the same as having an operation to change your face. Both stem from wanting to try to look different, sure, but one is obviously quite different and extreme.

View original

Sure, but IMO the are different degrees of the same thing. But if you disagree, then can I ask, at what point do you think it becomes different? Having a tattoo? Collagen injections in the lips?

To avoid accusations of generalising, perhaps you should be more careful in your use of pronouns. I realise that when you, as an intelligent Daily Mail reader, use the word "they" in this context, you are, of course, referring specifically to the adherents of syncretic animist-Pentecostal sects in rural Congo - a grouping whom you presumably feel have been particularly outspoken on the lack of positive representation of their culture in the British media - rather than to, say, black people in general.
