Wegovy: what you need to know about this weight loss drug

THECONVERSATION.COM

---

Overweight or obese patients who meet certain criteria will soon be able to access the much talked about weight-loss jab.

 

Thoughts?

 

Doesn't seem like a good idea to me, far from a sustainable solution. Much better to tackle the root causes of the problem.

What would be your solution Mark, how many of these predominantly military age male illegal ( often economic) immigrants would you be willing to fetch in, bearing in mind they have to be fed and housed at taxpayers expense. Please no citizen smith Tory bad Labour good shite ok.

Why not let them work for their bed and board? Military age male illegal people would be ideal for filling the labour shortage that is one of the many things grinding us down. Our lazy overweight benefit beneficiaries can't do anything, let alone hard manual labour.

Unbelievably I don’t even think your joking, link the receipt benefits to attendance at work schemes or something along those lines rather than paying such types to be at home. Mind you watching my local council teams do pot hole repairs is pretty much how I’d imagine it going. But still at least they’d be off their idle arses.

Hopefully the proposed Corp tax and fuel increases are ditched, seems that people and businesses are trying bloody hard to get going again after the last few years insanity. It would be harsh medicine to keep going down the current BOE route too, although I’m sure the banks don’t mind.

I'd have taken France up on their suggestion in 2021 that we should be allowed to process asylum claims from within France itself. What would your solution be? 

[GarethM]

Why not just do what every other EU country does, pay zero benefits or support.

 

No money = no attraction

 

They arrive here, we offer one option.

1. Free flight home, submit a claim from there and we'll look at it eventually or just ban you like Australia.

 

And how is giving the French more money to sit on their arses protecting a border they actively want to be used to clear their streets of immigrants?.

Pretty much exactly the same as GarethM. Currently we are contributing to our own downfall as a society massively with what we are allowing and encouraging. Having experienced first hand the behaviour of a large group of sub Saharan African scum  hanging around the city centre when my 14yr old daughter walked past them with myself, the Mrs and her twin brother in Glasgow recently I’d be 100% behind turning them around the minute they are apprehended.
