Will Skinny Clothes Come With A Coupon For A Big Mac?

Youe don't get much more Nanny State than this

Oversize clothes should have obesity helpline numbers sewn on them to try and reduce Britain's fat crisis, a leading professor said today.

And new urban roads should only be built if they have cycle lanes, according to Naveed Sattar, Professor of Metabolic Medicine at the University of Glasgow.

It boggles the mind how they want to control every aspect of your life.

Are they going to make obese people use the cycle lanes?

Undersized clothes should have a number for the anorexia hotline.

Regular-sized clothes should have a number to reassure you that even average people are special.

Oh yes you do! They're planning to upload all our medical details, courtesy of our doctor's records, onto a single national database, so that they are easily accessed in times of emergency!

So who decides who gets access, and who defines 'emergency'?

Big Brother, that's who!
