Reply to: Tax the fat

It's only a matter of time before you have to put your BMI on your tax return.


Giles will save us.

But where I differ from Dr Walker is that I do not believe in taxing chocolate. First of all, the money thus raised will not get anywhere near to recouping the £4 billion a year we are owed by the gut-buckets; and second, it would constitute an infringement of the rights of normally sized people to eat chocolate.

Airlines should definitely tax fatties...I think the luggage weight allowance should be combined with your actual weight, so you are allowed a total weight allowance of say 100kgs per person. Then tax the excess.

It would be funny seeing the fatties climbing on the scales at check in

They should ban and tax fatties.

If they dont, its a discrimination against all other normal people who put their time,efforts and money to put themselves in better shape, only to see fatties taking more spaces in tubes,trains,busses,flights,footpaths,shopping centres (in short the whole world).

World would be far less crowded if there wont be any fatty(i dont mean to kill them but just make them slimmer).

Comic Relief and other charities should be working towards that, make fatties slimmer --> Save extra food they consume here ---->Give that food to people in Africa and poor places ---> Make poverty History

Why not send fat people to Africa for the Africans to eat?

I wish they'd ban fat people

Have you heard about the massive police operation in Farum the other day that seized 800Kg of illicit sweeties?

You really couldn't make it up!

You are not making a good case for convincing me to move back.

DK is silly.

Why not put a punitive tax on politicians? That way there would be a lot less of them, and they would be easier to get rid of too!!!!!

Fat people should pay more car tax.

Heavier people burn more fuel increasing carbon emissions, it's a green tax really.

It's only fair.

Goods with sugar is now taxed extra in Denmark.
It is nice when our glorious leaders knows what is best for us.

DOCTORS should be taxed every time they open their fat, smug, overpaid mouths, it was claimed last night.

People across Britain said the money could be reinvested in the NHS and used to pay for nice foreign doctors who just treat you instead of making you feel like Adolf Eichmann every time you fancy a Star Bar.

Who did you sell it to? Fido McRover?

I once had to sell a car because I’d stepped in some dog doo and then it was transferred from my shoe to the carpet, and despite all my efforts with industrial strength detergents, I was unable to get rid of the smell.
