For public/state healthcare (NHS and what have you), taxes should be added in depending on what "weight bracket" they and their child(ren) fit into. I understand unavoidable cases like Type I diabetes or inherited health problems, but with obese people having a increased risk of Type II, heart disease, and practically every disease under the sun, they will inevitably put strain on the health service and cost far more in terms of healthcare than an average person, and so should be taxed more as a result, with the weight bracket to determine how much at risk they are of getting health problems more likely and earlier in life. The problem with this is that it actually costs the taxpayer more to categorize overweight people into "weight brackets" due to the astronomical levels of bureaucracy involved. You're better off just letting them stuffing toxic sludge into their gobs, because it's currently cheaper, as much as it begrudges me to say. Although I agree with your last point. The key here is essentially education and proper upbringing, starting with killing off the fucking horrendous fat acceptance movement. I also heard a statistic floating around that obesity is harder to combat if it starts off at an early age. Both the government and the corporations always get used as the typical scapegoat in this discussion, but it's really got nothing to do with them. The real culprits here are the shitty parents and the people who entertain the idea that being at an unhealthy weight is somehow okay or acceptable.

Yes, because the most civil, mature and obvious response to take when a new government is democratically elected the day before is to damage property, disrupt public transport and businesses, and most of all, to waste valuable police time.
If anything this election has shown us is the great cultural divide between progressives and normal people. You never saw shit like this during the 1997 Labour landslide.

>drinking beer
He's right, though. Beer is disgusting. If you're going to drink, drink liquor or mixed drinks.
>mixing liqour
I retract my previous comment towards gatsby.
Take your pleb taste and get out.
Whoa there guy, I like my fancy bourbons neat but sometimes a 50/50 Kentucky lemonade is just what you need after a long day of work.
Well yeah, there is some liquor that is permissible to mix sure, but the general rule of thumb is that you just don't do it, especially whiskey. I'm only mixing if I'm at a flat party and the only thing available is discount store tier vodka.

is this b8?
well then m8
which should i try?
A true beer patrician would be drinking finely crafted ales and stouts like Old Speckled Hen and Badger's Foot. Good entry level beers are San Miguel, Mahou and Kobra if you want to broaden your taste, then work your way up.

you're saying you're not convinced that seats shouldn't be allocated corresponding with the vote share?
Absolutely.
You could get a share of the vote enough to award you a seat under such a system, where you didn't even win in any constituency. How can somebody possibly represent a constituency which I) mostly didn't vote for them II) probably doesn't want them? Not only is it unfair to the electorate, but it will completely remove the representative-constituent relationship which is fundamental to the operation of democracy in the first place.
Which is why I disagree with constituency representation. They're basically just cliques at this point, suffocating the individual voter like myself.

I'm not convinced by the people who claim seats should be allocated according to national vote share.
I do support AV, in that the representative of a constituency should be the first to cross the 50pc threshold of support, though.
3 million people voted for a UKIP government, and you're saying you're not convinced that seats shouldn't be allocated corresponding with the vote share? I mean yeah, it'd be a bit of a clusterfuck to implement initially, but there's really no excuse for the amount of shafting the Kippers got. Greens too.

Huh... well what'd do ya know... looks like you lot are on your way to a two-party state.
We've had a two party state since the creation of Labour m8. The recent resurgence of UKIP, The Greens, Plaid Cymru and SNP is simply a reaction to the dissatisfaction of a two party state and a coalition government. FPTP is the real problem here.

Never thought I'd say this but I'm actually grateful for the SNP. They effectively walked the Tories into Downing Street by bum raping Labour.
We'd probably still have a coalition if not for SNP.

So do the tories have enough to form a government or do they need to form a coalition?
They've effectively won a slender majority, so no, zero coalition. 2017 EU REF HERE WE COME

If the Tories actually get a majority I will be so fucking elated.
It also means I get 200 beans on skybet. But ultimately, I'm more happy with the fact that Labour aren't going to get into power. This has been astronomically fucking disastrous for them.
