    Whether he is or not, there are loads of young people, and not so young, who think exactly like that.

    Anyone who can't afford to buy a home is quite likely to start thinking like that, and there are more and more of them every year ..

    I reckon the main thing likely to scupper Corbyn is his soft stance on immigration.

      For the record we do help. We provide work opportunities to those back home with complex lives (i.e. such as those caring for another member of the family) - sometimes all that's needed is to be made to feel of use. Then positiveness follows.

          Yes, education is a big part of the solution. These people (and they do exist though they're not as common as Daily Mail readers believe) don't know better, they should be helped not victimised.

          But since Maggie got in in 79 and the unions were squashed and the true value of the work the 'common man' does was revealed to not be worth that much we have been trying to send help.

          But did it work, no.

          Now 35 years on we now have generations of doleites who do not work, do not want to work and do not believe they have to work.

          Sending more help is not working - work or starve - then lets see what happens.

            Then the sink estates will start to resemble the Middle East and you'll have a whole lot of problems...
            Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                  Does this mean the obesity epidemic is over?

                  UK Obesity Epidemic Is Out Of Control - Medical News Today

                  Or is this inequality ?

                  Of course obese people are also suffering from malnutrition as the NHS describes malnutrition as being caused by undernutrition or overnutrition.

                    I have to agree with this. I know a few people like this and they just do not want to work.

                    I know that care for the elderly and other at risks groups have been cut, I imagine that many people that are undernourished fall into these categories.

                      that seems to be the problem and the fact that there is more of them.

                      i.e. lack of mobility means they end up eating pot noodles.

                      For the "fit and healthy" the problem is malnutrition through obesity.
