Nanny Bans Operations For Smokers and The Obese

I see that Nanny's chums from NHS Devon have decreed that smokers and the morbidly obese in Devon will be denied routine surgery, unless they quit smoking or lose weight. Specifically patients with a BMI of 35 or above will have to shed 5% of their weight, while smokers will have to quit eight weeks before surgery.

This might be all very well and dandy for those of us who are not obese and who don't smoke. However, here's why it's farking disgraceful:

1 BMI is an arbitrary bollocks indicator of obesity, and should not be used as a criteria for assessing fatness.

2 The NHS, the last time I looked, provides universal health care. These restrictions are fundamentally contrary to the principles of the NHS.

3 Smokers pay tax on the fags they smoke, are they not already therefore providing extra funding for their health issues from their smoking habit?

4 This is but the thin end of the wedge. As we all know Nanny has bees in her bonnet wrt eating, drinking, lifestyle etc. In the event that NHS Devon is allowed to get away with this, Nanny will target those who drink and eat fat/sugar for "lifestyle changes" before allowing them to receive medical help for which they have paid taxes.

Ignore this at your peril, one day Nanny will identify something that you do that she will classify as a "health risk"!
