Funny really, how most people rage against a Nanny State, and yet this man demands one.

It is a sad state of affairs that this guy is prepared to put effort into suing the organisation that has helped him, rather than putting his effort towards avoiding needing that level of help in the first place.

As for the advice of his GP, at what point is reccomending regular exercise to someone who wants to lose weight (with no underlying medical problems) a bad idea?

Unfortunately regardless of the outcome this will cost the tax payer tens of thousands more for the court case as this chubby leach will undoubtedly be relying on legal aid to fund his action.

Fat bastard.


That's all I can come up with.

sad thing is, wasnt this guy much bigger than fat bastard?

make him pay for his own bs by providing materiel for skin grafting for burn victims. He has plenty to spare if he would just drop a few.

I don't understand how a person becomes so obese they require surgery. Wouldn't it cross your mind that maybe you should try doing something about your weight before it got to that point?

also how many calories a day what the hell was he eating?

But his doctor told him to exercise! EXERCISE!

He didn't wave his magic wand and make him a ripped sex god like he should have.

And he calls himself a doctor. . .

That quack better have malpractice insurance.

So, he brought this upon himself, and he got help, and decided to sue the NHS anyway? That's some douche behavior there. I mean, if he was willing to lose weight instead, I wouldn't mind if he was getting help. But what he's doing is just wasteful.

In all seriousness, I have no sympathy at all for this guy.

It really isn't that hard to just say, "You know what? I shall eat an apple instead of this quadruple bacon chili burger, and then I shall go for a brisk run."

I find it funny how its other peoples fault the dude couldnt stop stuffing whole chickens down his own throat. And "ride your bike more" how is that bad advice? Hell my doctor said the same thing to me
doc oh so you have bike you ride
me yea I ride it often
doc oh well thats good, you should really try and ride once a day, thatll help you out alot
me thanks doc, now Im going to sue you because you didnt take my hand and forcefully show me how to stop being a huge fat ass

Oh wait Im confusing what I was told, to what the huge fatass said

From what I remember from the program about him, it was something like 20 packs of crisps, ditto chocolate bars, fried breakfast (full pack of bacon, 4 eggs, fried toast, etc), sausage rolls and other such things, ham and cheese etc sandwiches, and whatever he has for dinner.

Basically everything to excess.

But the worst thing is that he doesn't have a job, so all that food is paid for by tax payers, and he had a full time carer who prepared it all for him and helped stuff it into his maw.

I saw a show on extremely obese people once (mainly to make myself feel better about being a bit over weight lol) and those people were doing 20k-40k a day eating habits. It was insane, they would eat like an entire large pizza, a BAG of chips and a 2 liter of pop (cola for non Michigan folk) just for lunch. A couple 3 bagels with a BLOCK of creme cheese 4 or 6 eggs coffee and a jug of OJ for breakfast and something like a whole chicken a pound or 2 of potatoes+gravy same insane amount of drink and that wasnt counting snacks throughout the day. Simply disgusting

Good lord. I mean if he was eating something worth actually eating I might get it but how messed up in the head do you have to be to shovel 20 bags of chips and 20 chocolate bars in your pie hole every fething day? Even if he did nothing else getting rid of all that would have to count for a couple of stone even if he did nothing else.

Hrm. 1 stone = 14 pounds... holy feth, he weighed almost half a ton?

He should go for another 1.5 stone just to hit the half ton mark.

TLDR: Fat people get mad because they eat crap and get super fat.


Solution: Exercise more or eat less. Derpa derp derp.

Jesus Christ. This is what a dietician is for. Eating disorder my ass, this fether just didn't know to really tell himself enough was enough. This guy should be dropped off a Buddhist monastery so he can starve to death. Is this common in the UK?

That's the disgusting part. He obviously wasn't going out and getting this food for himself. Somebody actually had to go and prepare it for him. Carer? More like Death Dealer.

a 2 liter of pop (cola for non Michigan folk)

I still don't understand. West Coast vernacular please!

I'm all for the government donating a bike to him and giving him information on where to buy healthy foods. Hell, I'd even go so far as to support a care giver to assist him in healthy food preperation and an exercise regimen.

I do NOT think he is entitled to medical care on the tax payer dime, nor is he entitled to lum sums of money. This level of obesity is not genetic, its not inflicted by someone else, and its not the responsibility of the state.

Fattie ride a bike and eat apples instead of burgers. Also, poop more. I shudder to think how much impacted feces is lurking inside his lower intestine. God, what a disgusting human being.

Apparently he only weighed 56 stone when they actually weighed him (my wife has just informed me). The figures quoted were suppositions before he was actually weighed (on some scales that were specially made for the task).

Oh crap, Im terrible with this uhm....a coka cola? Pepsi cola? A carbonated beverage normally found in a plastic bottle? Habla English?

Oh jesus, I remember watching a show on TLC about this guy a couple of years ago!

The massive disgusting breakfasts and live in fast food gopher were mind boggling. My mother is a desicion writer for the Office of Hearings and Appeals here in the US, its the branch of the gov that reads medical statements and determines eligibility for federal disability payment. I remember her being sickened by the fact that this guy is legally disabled through self inflicted deformity. Sadly, in our current system this kind of thing DOES get paid for by society. Honestly, as liberal as I am I think this is a contributing factor to the economic crapstorm we're in right now.

While society should support its weakest members, there is a line of self regulation and responsibility that each citizen should have. This man has neither a sense of personal pride, nor a sense of civic duty. In short, his willful actions to remove himself from the labor pool have resulted in a citizen that is parasitic and contributes nothing positive to the fabric of society.

Get real fattie, Hawking can't even move his pinkie and he's sired more than one child. Whats your excuse?

so not only is this ass a leach on the healthcare system but also the welfare system? Honestly if he can afford that much on welfare they should of cut it so he can go wallow in self pity some more

Also i think labeling his "condition" a "mental disorder" so they can watch him and regulate his food would be a good move

Coke. Its all called coke. If I go to the store and buy a Sprite, I got a coke.

Typical southern conversation.

"Hey, I'mma go get some cokes. You want any?"
"Yeah."
"What kind?"
"Dr Pepper."
