The latest UK right-wing technique to divide people is to condemn poor people who are fat.

Many poor people can't afford non-fattening food, or can't buy it near where they live. If the proposal were to correct these problems, all the poor would rejoice. But that would be too helpful for any right-wing politician to consider. Their goal is to find excuses to punish the weak.

I predict that their "treatment" will consist of cutting welfare benefits for the obese, to compel them (and their children) to go hungry until they slim down.
