Labelling disabled people as not in need because of their body shape. Just prejudice against those who need benefit help. Nasty.(can't say BIGOT, can I?)
Having limited movment often leeds to weight gain and distorted body shape.
And your offensive comment about the photo isn't accurate, either. The woman in a chair with a veil over her face looks quite skinny to me. The guy with a fag in his mouth looks as if he has no legs, would that be enough weight loss for you?
Perhaps you might be tempted to smoke if you had his problems. The others are just the usual cross section of body shapes you get in the general population. How do you prefer to see your disabled people? Wasting away because they can't afford food?
What some people get sick of are those who are "disabled" due to their own actions.
FATTIES (I don't care about using it) are the one I despise the most.
I watched a programme sometime back about a fat guy and his nearly as fat girlfriend.
He was classed as disabled purely down to his weight. He was so fat the taxpayer was funding a care worker to visit his home once a week to wash him!
He was attending some kind of fat fighters course and managed to lose something pathetic like 5 or 6 pounds. Guess what?
Because he'd lost that weight, he and his girlfriend decided to treat themselves as a means of celebration. The treat was a large delivery of pizza and scoffing a tub of ice cream the size of a dustbin.
Nevertheless, they both felt they were "entitled" to have us taxpayers pay for them and the £2,000 + mobility scooter he had because he was too fat to walk any distance without being knackered.
I have no issue with those who are genuinely disabled through no fault of their own, but I WILL take the piss out of those where it is self inflicted.
