Here is a guy so sick he spends several hours in agony before watching his beloved Birmingham because the ulcers in his legs are spilling infectious bacteria into his blood yet after the game he drinks 40 pints of lager! 49 stone!

Apart from the absence of a job and quite where he gets the £100 necessary to buy 40 pints in the first place, I can't understand how someone can be so proud of the physical state he's got himself into.
 
He seems proud of his achievement. As far as I'm concerned he's no different to an alcoholic or drug addict that spends every penny the government gives him on his habit.

The man needs help, the state he is in is disgusting.

Well said.
 
I have seen that program before and it makes me furious that my hard earned is being spent on keeping that piece of **** alive. He should be left to die unless he wants to pay for medical expenses out of his own pocket. He doesn't give a **** that he is so grotesquely overweight. In fact, like Scuzi said, he seems quite proud of it.

Whilst I agree that it is wrong that the state is basically funding him to kill himself and live the way he does, I think that leaving anyone to die is a bit much. However I do believe that the state should be pushing him to improve his own life. As I do with other similar cases. I heard recently that the government actually pays alcoholics more money and more frequently than others. If they want the money then they should relent to treatment rather than being pandered too. At the end of the day it does come down to the individual wanting to change, but if they are put in a place where they can see what the abuse they are doing to themselves and its effect on there life maybe they will want to change.
 
The thing that got me was, he thinks its ok for him to eat 3 fry ups, eat 1 and diet you fat ****.

He wont last long in this world.
 
Perhaps they could fix a tent on him and feed him curries, thus turning him into a hovercraft for cross channel commuting.

At least he will pay back into society that pays him 40 pints.

I didn't watch it but things like that are a blatant **** take of the welfare system. There is no reason whatsoever, even if his condition is medical, where he cannot lose weight and change his lifestyle.
 
Exactly, Von Smallhausen!

I don't see why we should pay out for him. Are we not, therefore, by implication, rewarding him for being a fat layabout?

Surely, instead of helping him to die with tax payers money, we should be lifting (or hauling) his huge arse into some kind of help program to get him the medical treatment he requires? Surely that'd work out cheaper in the long run?

maybe he's beyond help, time for the thought police to move in and re-educate him.

(not being sarcastic, some people realy do need fixing in the head and this guy is one of them)

if I was in charge of the wellfare system it would be quite simple
you want your dole, then I've got a job for you, heres a broom, go sweep that street, or this old lady needs the outside of her house painting, or her guarden weeded, you come back when its done and I'll give you your £47.50 (or whatever it is now).

As easy as it seems the organization and enforcement of such a venture would be next to impossible.

National Service.

"What's that... you're unemployed? Ok, hold on... Here's a rifle and your clothing. Sign here, here, here and there. Fall in over there and stand to and await further instructions."

"..."

"Still here? You're in the Army now, son! No larking around now!"

Make them really EARN their keep.
 
If this is the guy who said he had gone into curry houses before and ordered the entire menu, then he's dead now. Surprise surprise.
