Honestly, our taxes go towards supporting this family?! I just hope they don't ever get to have ops on the NHS especially since this morning I heard the NHS couldn't provide a 6mth old baby with a £2000 piece of headgear to reshape his deformed skull as they deemed it 'cosmetic' and therefore not necessary. Even though it would have only taken a few months of wearing to correct the problem.

Sorry, stories like this make me mad!

Well don't read the Daily Mail then - its hardly unbiased, responsible journalism.
 
I don't read the paper but someone just mentioned it to me and then I had to read it (I just can't help myself!

) Wish I'd not now as I just get angry and I'm normally a very chilled out person!

Think it's the very mention of gastric band that winds me up. Too much food + not enough exercise = obesity. Simple. It's straighforward science and there are very VERY few exceptions that involve other factors. I can't abide when people blame others for something that is their own fault.

Are any newspapers unbiased ?? there is utter trash and bile in the mirror , head in the clouds semi intelectual shite in the guardian, why are we supprised at this family there must be 100s like them, Who are the stupid ones?? the people who work hard for a modest wage, and dont ask the state for very much, or the spongers the feckless who have a army of public sector workers running after them attending to there every need ? im sure most people are sick of seeing these sort of people indulged but there seems little interest in stoping it and getting everyone to contribute to society in some way....

There is actually a lot of interest in encouraging people to become active, useful members of society, but to do it properly is a long process of re-education and undoing the damage done when Thatcher abandoned the most vulnerable members of society and created a sub class of people who have lost the culture of work.

Obviously some people would prefer to just string them up as it would be cheaper

Why are societies ills always blamed on Thatcher, that was years ago, plenty of time has elapsed to put things right or on the road to recovery.

These lazy feckless bints don't have the intelligence to even understand why their ilk is hated by the majority of hard working people who feel they have to support these people. I've known people who have been born into appalling deprived circumstances and have risen to make something of their lives so its not a given that if you're ' vulnerable' you have to accept your lot. These people probably don't even know who thatcher was imo.

There are still communities now who have never recovered from the recession of the 1980s. I only have to look at the area where I grew up to see that the problems caused then are still just below the surface and many decent people still struggle through their day to day lives. The areas I work in are often the same.

Yes, many people can overcome their circumstances, but others need to be encouraged or helped to do it. I'm not condoning the way that these people live - it absolutely has to be stopped. But the way to do it is through education and giving them something to aspire to as well as having some form of sanction where needed.
If people feel they can achieve nothing and have no hope for the future, this (and worse) is what you get. Putting them in the Daily Mail for people to ridicule achieves nothing.

Yes ridicule will do no good they won't give a %hit the only thing that would is a cut in the benifits and increase wages,Its crazy that they can get more on the dole than from working and the state cash machine realy kicks in
if they can produce another brood of future layabouts...

I have had two friends who have gotten gastric bypass surgery. One was very over weight, she had tried about everything you could think of to loose, but could not, add to that if chemo therapy for cancer and all the rigors of that. She is now very slender, very lovely but it seemed to have aged her 20 years. She fox hunts and hasn't seemed to have time for her true friends anymore, I thought it was just me till another of her friends emailed to ask if I felt the same, so now I know it isn't, as she is doing this to her too.

The other friend I think was just lazy. She read somewhere that many who got the bypass and slimmed down did not have to take their diabetic medication anymore, and I think that is what she was hoping for. I was very surprised that the doctor did decide to do it as she has a history of mental problems and depression but apparently he did it anyway. I don't know how she is now or what she looks like as we had a big row several weeks prior and she refuses to speak to me. I think she did it for all the wrong reasons...
 
Anne Widdecombe once said that if she wrote a book about losing weight, it would only have two pages. One page would say 'eat less' the other 'exercise more'.
 
Those in the communities who never got over the 1980's didn't stop breeding and spongeing did they?
And don't have a go my family is from the Peoples Republic of South Yorkshire and they are welcome to it.

Back to the original story, where's my harpoon?
