Just heard this on the radio. I used some quite colourful language.

You're fat, you're lazy;here's some money for you...

This is very serious, the precedent being set legitimize being over weight and just another excuse. How unfit due to bring overweight do you have to be to try and claim invalid benefit, slightly out of breath climbing stairs???

My problematic Neighbour gets carers allowance for looking after his morbidly obese wife. They both work on the side too but the channels you have to go through means it's impossible to report them.

They phoned the Police on us last week for having the dryer on at 12.00am, the next day he had his dryer on at 11pm.

It gets worse, I own his drive and he owns the land outside or back door, hence why our extension is 3 foot shorter than we wanted.

He also has 2 garages and parks his car between them.

They have always had being over weight as a disability as the fattest man in the UK was nearly in tears when they cut his benefits as how could he survive without a 6 man team to look over him and 12000 calories a day. May be cutting funding will help these people loose weight

On the other end of the scale doctors think they may be close to finding a cure for bulimia? But there is already a cure and its Maccy D's

Basically rewarding people for being fat lazy useless ******* TBH, that's hardly going to encourage them to loose weight is it.

you can eat what you want , the deciding factor is mentality and a DECISION not to burn off the cals , ie Move

Thats where problem lies
