I think people forget you also have to eat better. ~ Arianna Huffington

No doubt after quaffing several bottles of Prosecco the luvvies in our new Labour Government have come up with a cracking plan to get the clinically obese back to work ~ free Ozempic. All those claiming disability benefit because they are hugely overweight are to be given this weight loss drug, with the unconnected idea that when they lose a hundred pounds or so they will rush back to working 5 days a week. That’s about a million and a half people who are currently not in employment. Given that there is already a shortage of this drug to treat those people genuinely suffering from type 2 diabetes, where are all these extra doses to come from? Big Pharma I guess. I wonder what could possibly go wrong? Weight loss drugs and booze do not mix, but, how many idle people will stop drinking when they start Ozempic ~ probably not more than one in twenty. One other thing that people taking weight loss drugs and stopping drinking too much drugs have to remember ~ whatever you are taking you can’t stay on it forever. A bunch of college kids could come up with many similar schemes.
