We deserve more.”Philip and his wife Audrey, 57, weigh 336 pounds each. Daughters Emma, 19, and Samantha, 21, weigh in at 236 pounds and 252 pounds, respectively.Audrey Chawner, who has epilepsy and asthma as a result of being overweight, told “Closer” magazine her family’s weight is genetic and they cannot afford to eat healthier.Philip Chawner has Type 2 diabetes and was eligible for gastric band surgery until he developed a heart condition.“I’m a student and don’t have time to exercise,” Emma Chawner said. “We all want to lose weight to stop the abuse in the street, but we don’t know how.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Mondays Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Thats funny because socialism provided me with a state education and healthcare, it also allowed me not to have to work in during my A levels before I went to university, it also allowed me to be able to afford university through grants and no repayable loans otherwise I would have had to take a trade and not pursue my goals in higher education.

Happy Mondays Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 There is a very small minority in the Uk working class who have become so dependant on the state that they are always seeking hand outs, how ever the majority use the welfare state as the safety net in harsh times. That is why "benefit thieves" are being prosecuted and imprisoned and fined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
