Re: What do think about michael Buerk

There is no point getting upperty with Michael Buerk, he is basically a 'nobody' and the law won't change overnight because of what he said, that's just his opinion in the same way a fat person can ignore his comment, tell him to 'bugger off' and continue to stuff pies in their faces!

But perhaps there should be a stigma attached to being fat in the same way it has been attached to smokers. All the health advice and gruesome pictures of infected lungs failed to stop people from smoking, but once they were made to feel like second class citizens and err'd at by the general public it did more to stop folk smoking than all the convincing in the world.

Michael Buerk only said out loud what most thin healthy people think but daren't say for fear of upsetting the snowflakes and PC crowd........

Knowledge has no substitute

True - you must have been born with yours (past, present and future) if you didn't learn it from somewhere - a "miracle" baby, perhaps .....

I agree that he failed to mention other incomes that go to the NHS Omah, but I think he's right about there being no pot....
