What the hell is wrong with the British? Fat people aren't disabled, I don't care how you slice it. There might be someone with a rare disease that makes them fat, but you can't tell me that the UK has almost 2,000 of these people.
Their only "disability" is that they are too lazy to get off the couch and they just want to sponge off of other hard working Brits and watch TV all day long.
Kick them in the ass and tell them if they don't slim up, they don't get a check. Tell someone who's say 500 pounds that they have a year to drop to 400 pounds or the checks will start getting smaller and smaller until they get nothing.
I'm a fat guy myself. At one point in time, I was 275lbs. I am now a "thinner" fat guy. I'm down to 248lbs as of this morning. What did I do? I changed my diet and I started exercising regularly. I started hitting the gym really hard in July.
However, during that entire time, I didn't sponge dime one from the US government trying to shamelessly claim that me being fat was a "disability". It's a bullshit excuse for people who need a kick in the ass.
There are real life disabled people who could have used that money. Wounded veterans, workers compensation victims, etc, and you wouldn't hear a peep from anyone for these people getting a few extra bucks.
However, when British citizens pay through the nose in taxes, I don't think it's too fair for the government to waste this money on fatties who won't get a job.
Of course, the "nanny state" gets worse with Social Security Minister's like Frank Field:
Frank Field, a former Social Security Minister, said last night that too many people were working the incapacity benefit system to avoid work. “It is a racket, which governments have allowed to exist for far too long. I do not blame people for working the system, it is the job of politicians to stop them doing it.”
You don't blame people for trying to scam the British government? This is exactly why such bullshit things continue to happen: apathy.
If Mr. Field had taken the initiative and started cracking down on these people, the British government could have used that $4.4 million pounds elsewhere.
Idiots.
