Bad news fatties the government is hunting us down.


The government is worried about obesity, having worried about global warming, foxes, 4x4's badgers, bird flu and ebola (among other things) the latest target is obese people.
Sitting in Boodles in St James street munching Dover sole and new potatoes paid for by us it's easy to be critical of other peoples diets, sadly the only sole I can afford is the one coming off my shoe.
 Thats the trouble, eating properly and healthy isn't cheap, a lot of people simply can't afford to eat the 7 a day the idiots in subsidised restaurants or gentleman's clubs paid for by us eat.  How many places do you know that serves tomato soup at 85p? a bowl.
 Or perhaps grilled garlic and basil chicken served on couscous for £3.55...  all we can get for that is a bloody burger and fries.
 In real terms the price of food has gone up a lot in the last year or so, and with normal peoples wages staying pretty much the same it's hard going to buy what people really need and pay the bills. Remember even the poorest back bench MP is on £67k plus expenses (and that includes cleaning the moat!) So with cheap food and the mortgage on his/her second castle paid for by us they have the cheek to tell us to eat better!
 Well heres a suggestion, get Bellamy's to open up a load of restaurants all over the country selling the same food at the same prices you pay, then we'll see if people can eat better.... and remember even with that you still had Cyril Smith... and he wasn't exactly svelte.
