So, now we're looking at a Government healthcare policy of surgery for the fat lazy lumps who can't be arsed to eat healthy or walk more than 50 yards a day.
Nevermind the fact that the healthcare system is permanently overstretched. Now the govt. are going to have an overt policy of surgery for anyone who whines enough they can't be healthy without being sliced and diced.
A side-note...
The nation seems so obsessed with the new serial killer of Suffolk. Meanwhile, millions of UK citizens are killing themselves slowly.
I find is hilarious that the very people who are now cancelling going out in the evenings, are the very same people who are smoking, drinking, and eating themselves to an early death.
Not only is the media hyping it all up (yeah, the media hacks are LOVING this killer), but the people are dumb enough to actually think they are in any danger.
What a frakked up society.
Calrissian: is he the only one that is not a fat lump these days?
