...and Charlie Brooker and David Mitchell and Jimmy Carr. 
But if she doesn't get to stand up, how will we see what kooky designer frock she's wearing?
The 'fat' debater was so obnoxious she did her cause a gross disservice. She seemed to be saying she wanted to stuff her face with as many guilt-free pies as she liked, with complete disregard for obesity costing the NHS £1,000,000 per hour. She doesn't care that your mum won't get those life-saving cancer drugs, and your gran will die in a queue for A&E because there's not enough beds or staff, because she wants to gorge herself into oblivion.
Well won't she be sorry when she finally explodes like Mr Creosote and there's no £108,000 oversized ambulances to cart her quivering blubber on a £13,000 oversized stretcher into a £80,000 bariatric bed.

I did chuckle to myself that she, a vocal Labour supporter and activist, was complaining about a tax being nanny-statist. I wonder if she'd have been quite so opposed if it'd been introduced 4 or 5 years ago?

OF course, she had to bring in the 'class' red-herring. It doesn't matter that there's more obesity in the working classes, it's not their class that's being targeted, it's their obesity.

I feel the same way but I would also like to add old people - why are we keeping them alive, how much do they cost the NHS per hour? It's not like they work or contribute to society. Grave dodging scum.
And healthy people who get horrible diseases like cancer or MS or who hurt themselves doing sports - who do these so called 'healthy' people think they are?
Or anyone who has any sort of accident that can be attributed to anything - money grabbing bastards!
The sooner Nogget brings about his eugenics based NHS programme, the better.
The difference, RC, is that old age or cancer, broken bones and other forms of accidents, are wholly natural, and in many cases expected maladies.
The kind of extreme obesity at hand, however, is rarely down to much more than diet and lifestyle: entirely within the control of the individual.

Aids, superbugs, bird flu, the return of TB, RSI, gender reassignment, extreme sports injuries and the overall increase in both shootings and stabbings were not expected maladies.
The life expectency of our population certainly wasn't expected, neither was the breeding habits of the immigrants. (Pensions have been virtually destroyed and we're going to be short 100,000 primary school places in London thanks to the dirty foreigns 'doing it'.)
If people want to quote which sections of the population cost us the most money to treat so we can admonish and punish them (which I'm all for), is there anywhere we can get that sort of information so I can refine my bigotry?

But largely natural, and more to the point, not self-inflicted.

Smokers. Come on then, admonish yerself.

No way, not with the amount of tax I'm paying on a packet of tabs, I'm practically keeping three hospitals going on my own.
And unlike you judgemental lot, I don't mind if the cancer research used to treat smokers is allowed to treat non-smokers.
Let's just make the NHS free for healthy white middle class people and get it over with. Everyone else can die in the street (me included).

First question on the new insurance form - Have you ever eaten anything dinosaur shaped?

The thing about these Proud To Be Fat people is they so often forget their principles and slim right down. Look at Dawn French, she used to bang on and on about how good it was to be big, yet obviously she didn't like it at all, else why lose weight? The obese deserve our sympathy and help, but not our indulgence. Fighting obesity helps the deluded lardies like Amy Lamé, who sooo obviously have attention-seeking issues, sitting there in repellent bright yellow fattness, as attractive as a massive pile of snot.
We'd be doing her a favour if we taxed her buns off.
