Less than 5% of the population is hardly a threatening figure. And that second source was based on an anonymous phone call.
I'm shaking rn, personally. Brown people scawy.

No no, you don't seem to understand, allow me to clarify:

Lmao, I love Breitbart.That act was put into place because of specific adverts popping up over the Tube and TFL in general, like an advert that showed a (later shown to be photoshopped to look skinnier) woman in a bikini, asking travellers if they're "bikini ready" while promoting diet pills.
**** facts though, I truly understand how upsetting it must be for you to lose even the slightest exposure to the female body,
I understand it's been years since you've seen an actual woman naked ✅
Calm down Fatty, I'm aware Khan is doing his bit to pander to the dreggs and undateable portion of the female populous. But is he really accomplishing anything though?
Now, I'd like to point out to the fat-acceptance-bandwagon, that the insanely effective anti-smoking campaign in America is proof that aggressive, sustained and widespread social shaming can indeed work to change human behavior on a large scale. The success of anti-smoking PSAs, regulations, and social stigmatism is a mild rebuke to strict hereditarians who hold that nothing changes in a culture without the human genetic substructure changing first.
I'm not calling for a witch-hunt by any means, but it is a reminder that humans also have genes which make them susceptible to feeling bad when ostracized by their tribe. What worked for smoking may not work as effectively for fattitude, but it’s worth a try... and by “a try” I mean a real try, not a half-assed try that spares the fattie's little feelings.
Hold up, you're trying to tell me that an advert that promotes diet pills* to get women into an American size 0 bikini** by shaming them in the same way as a smoking advert*** is perfectly acceptable because it's trying to get people healthier?
Because literally none of that is happening here:
* Diet pills, not dieting. One is drastically less healthy than the other, which puts strain on the natural processes just to lose weight.
** A weight class that is just as unhealthy as being slightly overweight.
*** a non profit advert ran to educate individuals on something the government lied about for years. That'd be akin to an advert on McDonalds fries, not something selling diet pills.

I think you people have trouble reading polls. Its pretty much a dead heat right now. Hilary or Trump, it's better than being in the UK right now.
Nah. Now that it looks like we'll be able to go "Brexit totally happening guys for reals" ad infinitum, the UK is way better than the US. Your country was a joke before hand, now its just kind of uncomfortable. Your absurd political situation, the race stuff, the gun violence, I think I heard you're having a drought? Well, you guys are getting pounded right now. Theres so much bad shit happening in America at the moment it actually makes me sad seeing it.

On top of innumerable studies that prove fat-shaming in general only causes weights gains, mental depression and eating disorders. .
And there are studies against this notion as well. But that is only regarding people who are already overweight (like Sel). To be honest they can rot for all I care - seriously.
Many slimlords have taken up the banner of fat shaming and naturally the fatties were upset. (Didn’t matter, because upset fatties can’t do much but weep tears of lard into tubs of ice cream). Now, gay supraheroine Milo has put together a shiv-worthy article speckled with numerous links to studies finding that indeed fat shaming does work, if by work we mean it motivates fatties to lose weight and non-fatties to refrain from ever getting fat in the first place.
- linkage
Social pressure, peer group management, punitive and targeted taxation, ostracism, teasing, taunting, rudeness, ridicule, and my personal favorite - cruelty, are effective means of containing the spread (double-wide heh) of the obesity epidemic and helping at least some fatties lose weight and look like normal human beings again, complete with the happiness that accompanies the transition. It worked for smoking, it can work for fatties. The key is to get them while they’re young, before bad habits and DGAFism have metastasized. Judging by the number of porky schoolkids I see around, the need for a national fat shaming project — a Svelte Society, if you will — was never greater.
The fact remaining of course that opposing it has nothing to do with advocating Sharia Law. Lmao
The irony of a muslim man banning pics of women in Bikini's is enough for me, and apparently, many other britons.

Beni's confirming he's overweight. ^
On the topic of retard-assumptions though, any more wisdom to share on the current dire state of the UK? I reckon you and Ziggy would make a good stand up duo.
