Boris Is Gonna Tackle

[weecalf]

Obesity now of the back of the great job he has done on other items of great importance to the Great British public .

[Mamyalynne]

Yes.

[sanmac]

If he's going to tackle obesity in the Great British public all he has to do is delete the word "Great".

[Jackdaw33]

Cue yet another anti-Boris thread from the sad party.

[dannyk13]

It needs tackling, both for the sake of the obese and the strain that will eventually be placed on the health service from related illnesses.

[emmie]

i believe its been on the agenda for some time, its one of those things like death, that people don't talk about. He and his team have been given a curved ball in the last year, with Brexit and now covid 19 prominent. According to the news obesity is a factor in getting coronavirus, sorry to say i don't have a link to that fact, just that i read and heard it on the news in the last few days.

[jakep]

He’s got a job on his hands in the town where we live :-(

[SparklyKid]

Heard that earlier emmie. Seems BOGOF items will not be available on unhealthy food items.

[emmie]

indeed SK...

[jennyjoan]

well Mr Boris needs to start on himself. Even if he lost a stone or two you wouldn't notice as he does have a shapeless body, has done so from a little boy. Yes I watched a documentary on his life.

[emmie]

by and large i think they are doing the best with the hand they have been dealt, let me see SKS do any better to be honest, they would give away the store and do so for ever more

[woofgang]

shrug

[emmie]

he was quite a solid lad at Eton??

[dannyk13]

jj, shapeless does not necessarily mean obese.He did lose quite o lot of weight.

[Bobbisox1]

JJ he has admitted he was too overweight when he got Covid 19 this is why he's heading a drive against obesity as we head towards the 'flu season in October , he doesn't want the NHS under strain

[emmie]

he must have lost some weight whilst being ill. Politics doesn't lend itself to a health lifestyle i suspect.

[jennyjoan]

well Danny I genuinely never saw that weight loss.

[diddlydo]

Maybe he wouldn't have ended up in intensive care if he hadn't been obese in the first place. This has obviously been the catalyst for his latest deflection tactics. He just needs to get Covid sorted first rather than bringing in 11th hour half baked measures re quarantine on return from Spain.

[emmie]

he's not a scientist, and can only go by those people behind the scenes, and contrary to popular opinion, he's not a miracle worker. He is overweight then again so am i, and i don't eat that much in the grand scheme of things.

[emmie]

people of all shapes and sizes are getting this dreadful disease.

[dannyk13]

Diddly //11th hour half baked measures re quarantine on return from Spain.//
It is the sensible thing to do following the further outbreak of Covid19 in two areas of Spain,or would rather see a returning tourist possibly bring the Covid19 germ back into the country.
