Will We "Fit" People Be Eligable For £425? - 20th Jun 2009 2:30am
Anyone who watches "Tonight with Trevor Macdonald" will know what im on about...
As im not fat, in fact in a recent consultation and examination with a heart specialist in Arrowe Park, I was found to have a BMI of 21 (which has been the case for the past 5 years) and was told my the results of all tests including an ECG, blood pressure, heart rate etc, all indicated an extremely athletic and healthy lifestyle (yeah right, if you ever wanted proof that these tests are crap, there it is - though I must admit, I can still walk up a mountain or run 6 miles with no pre-warning if you ask me too so maybe there is something in it - but that isnt an indication of my lifestyle, or my eating habits, which anyone who know's me will agree, are outrageously unhealthy), I want to know...
Will I get £425 for not being FAT?
I mean lets face it, the excuse the government is touting as a reason for paying FAT people to lose weight, is because they cost the NHS etc, a LOT more money than a personn who isnt fat.
Since I am therefore apparently saving the NHS a LOT of money by apparently keeping fit and healthy, why should'nt I get the £425?
It pi$$es me off that just because someone is fat, they are going to get paid to lose weight, yet the people who arnt causing a problem, recieve nothing; and then what will the fat people do? Yep, exactly what you'd expect, as the programme showed, they will go and spend their hard earned fat cash on guess what - getting themselves fat again (and then probably enroll on another fat-pay course).
It always the way with this government, the savers, the people who have kept the economy and the banks solvent, are the ones being punished for the wrecklessness and stupidity of others, and now the government intend to pay the fat people (which means more tax for EVERYONE) for causing the obesity epidemic, whilst the people who are innocent in all this, are once again, the losers.
