Lard-o-rama
While eating my lunchtime bacon sandwich - English bacon please note - I was reading a blog about the the Governments concern about the populations weight & the usual whining lefty MPs calling for "things to be done about it". Having posted a comment, I thought that I'd have a little rant about it over here.
Firstly, what business is it of the Government what people weigh. If someone whats to gorge themselves of death, thats their own business. I say graft them on to the sofa of sloth & give them a Sky TV remote control. All it means is that there are less people tramping over the Countryside so I can walk in peace.
If the lard lobbists really wanted to do anything about it, they could stick 500% tax on fish & chips, fast food & sweets - but that would cost 'My Little Tony' more votes. At least it would be consistant, I mean this Government is prepared to tax booze & fags to hell - because? Because they are 'bad' for us.
So, if Labour win a third term, will we have Carol Caplin mandated BMI limits? Ooooooooo I feel a whole new avenue for Government intervention in the lives of individuals - mmmmmm more taxes, more regulations, more civil servants. Please notice that excessive comsuption isn't a problem when it relates to Government expenditure.
However, what noone seem to have picked up on is that these lardies are selflessly laying down there lives for society as a whole. What I hear you say?
Given that the UK has a diminishing labour pool making National Insurance contributions & paying taxes, coupled with an aging population; the more people that kill themselves early, the less people there are to burden the state as they age.
Eat away!!
