Too fat

Wish someone would tell me how these folk, too fat to go out do their shopping etc.yes I know they can shop online but they still have to move about, open the door, cook, etc. Unless some stupid person is pandering to them. If they can't eat, they'll soon slim.

What Pension Crisis?

I've said it before there is NO Pension crisis - its all smoke and mirrors. Engineered by the Government to squeeze us to pay off their incompetence. At last with Pensioner Bonds they are attempting to help out the beleaguered savers. In the end we cannot borrow our way out of the crisis. While the Bankers continue to make loads-of-money we are suffering.

If Gordon Brown had not raped the Pension funds in the last Government there would be plenty in the pot to finance industry and pay the pensioners but he's spent our nest egg.

Do I have to explain again how it works.

Let people have a level playing field for their pension savings. The money saved is used now to finance "things" later you will draw your pension. Don't worry unless they raid it again.

At least this is a good idea - long time coming. Next we need to regulate the charges that are levied and the rates of annuities that are paid should be kept within realistic ranges. Not to make Bankers FAT!

Worlds Fattest Man has died

So the Worlds Fattest Man has died after he tried to lose weight.

After weighing 70 stone he tried to lose weight. He had not been out of his house for 10 years.

He had six-egg fry-ups for breakfast then pizzas, kebabs, Chinese takeaways and Big Macs for lunch and dinner, all washed down with six pints of coffee and two litres of fizzy drinks.

What I don't understand is when these people get this fat where do they get the food from, who cooks it etc etc.?

So someone must be buying it and feeding them. In this case his sisters are suspects.

If he was a child then making fat like this would be "cruelty" and they would be prosecuted and the child taken into care.

Is there no way we can stop these sort of people from abusing and killing another human being? They killed him by overfeeding him.

If he had to feed himself then he's struggle to get the food, cook it and eat it on his own. He's soon lose weight. Besides how did he afford all this food? What was his income? He didn't work did he? Was he registered disabled? SO what was the authorities responsibility in this? He was drug addict, his drug was food. How dare the professionals no doubt involved in this allow this to happen? Surely when he got to 20stone they should have acted but it went on, he gained another 30 stone.

I despair.

Yet apparently so many folk are starving and dependent on Food banks because they can't afford to eat.

I know of poor people who don't cook. they survive on takeaways and ready meals. The Microwave cooks for them. Surely this way must be so expensive? After the last war we were in rationing - there were no Fat people then and we were much healthier - just! On the brink of starvation but people knew how to eek out food, cook sensibly and reduce waste.

Frankly we must just be too rich here in this country or we wouldn't waste so much or get fat.

Claudia back on Strictly - fast forward her bits

Usually we record Strictly to be sure we don't miss it. this has the advantage that I can fast-forward thought the Claudia bits.

That woman makes me cringe.

Why does Amanda Platell think she's good? I want to Vote Claudia Off. Zoe and Tess for me. 

Claudia embarrasses herself with her inane antics. Does she thinks she's a Bobby Ball to Tess' Canon?

Either its the BBC humiliating her or if not then I'm right and we can do with out her - its spoiling the show.

But why is it only me that sees this?

Only thing about Tess is that she seems to be talking over the Judges lately. Oh, and I don't really like the additional dancers either, we want to see the Celebrities dance!

Also AP says about Obese people paying for their treatment. Similar to smoking it IS self induced.

EAT LESS! Simple.

I don't understand how these FAT people that are that fat that they can't move about continue to overeat? Surely someone is Feeding them? If you can't move much/at all  how do you shop/cook etc.

Ship them off to Sierra Leone or somewhere  where food is a Luxury. They would be seen as freaks and embarrassed to explain why they are so fat when these folk struggle on a starvation diet.

Its just not right is it?

Why should people get £25k disposable income for nothing? I'd love to have take home pay of £25k to support my wife and I. I'd have to earn over 35k to get that though. Its simple to me - why have Politicians not thought of it - TAX benefits as INCOME just like the rest of us?

That is a level playing field. Why get something for nothing. No argument that "its not worth working I'd be worse off".

 

About time Fatist joing the other 'ist hate crimes ?

Whilst you can argue about why people get fat, and whther they should or should not be fat surely it is offensive to call people "fat" and pick on them because of their size/shape etc.? To me its just as bad as the othe rhate crimes.
To me any form of Bullying is bad. Its not called for and is certainly not funny.

Why does the media seem to get away with it.

Jennifer Lawrence is gorgeous any way.

Hunger is Back

I agree that in the 7th richest nation we should not have poverty and hunger but I look at Jack's petition and wonder why the biggest epidemic we are facing is Obesity!

Why are people so FAT? Walk down any street and you see FAT people. You see ads on TV for slimming and endless programmes about FOOD. No wonder we're Fat.

Why do they advertise Alcohol so glamorously - it makes you cool, you drive fast cars (drive and drink?) live the fast life with pretty girls and flash friends all drinking, (responsibly of course). How dare they advertise Alcohol so? Its should be banned. 

Anyway back to poverty - why are we giving millions to other countries that can afford to send satellites into space when we have poor here and we are ,cutting benefits because the "country can't afford them?". Another of sCameron's conspiracies?

Yes - nearly 3000 Millionaire Bankers on their bloated bonuses!

HA! they don't live in the real world, a bit of poverty would do them good. After all WE rescued the Banks and its our money. Another case of this reverse Robin Hood Government - robbing the poor to give to the rich.

Government is hurting the Thrify who voted for them

Yes if you have any savings spend it before its worthless. Just like Germany in the 30s. We'll need suitcases of money to shop at the supermarket.

Seriously with low interest rates even low inflation - but that is higher than interest  - is eroding your nest egg.

I thought that the idea was that Banks/Building societies raised funds from Savers by offering them interest.

When they had the funds then they lent it out to Borrowers (mortgages etc.), they pay interest.

So providing you,  (Bank/Building Society),  receive more in interest than you pay out you are profitable.

Now we have another situation the Banks (Building Societies?) get “free” money from the Government to Lend out thus they don’t need savers money. But where does the Government get its money from? I guess us? SO actually this is a win win for the banks they’ve nothing to lose hence the Fat bonuses.

It’s about time the government was told by US that they must stop and go back to the old system. If interest rates were raised then Savers would save and the money would be there to lend out. Remember the interest paid is TAXED so the government gets a cut too.

Mobility Scooters are anti -social - now this is really MAD

Remember I moaned about old and disabled folk riding around on these mobility scooters (are they all disabled?).

You even see them in the Supermarket blocking aisles and shoving you out of the way but this has gone too far. You simply Can't take your car into the Supermarket. It has got to stop!

Anti-social Scooter riders?

I do fear not being mobile. Living in a rural county where public transport is next to non-existent I worry that I ever won't be able to drive, but these folk on their Mobility Scooters!!

Have you seen them? They are 3 categories 

1. Fat Folk - who are just too heavy to walk - get OFF your scooter and get some exercise.,
2. old dodderers - genuine frail old folk who need to get about and would not be able to use a car.
3. oldish dodderers - who are the above but when they get a mobility scooter every one else becomes in visible!

They drive around with no thought to crashing in to people, leave countless accidents in their wake!

Yes this council/police are  right they must be made responsible. There are laws and regulations and they should be enforced.
