A tax on obesity? Fat chance of that
The new breed of delicately fed ex-smokers and social drinkers know what's best for everyone just as Dev did whenever he chose famously to consult his heart.
No more eggs and hairy bacon for the new lot as they consider another tax this time on the fat slobs who won't play by the menu set down by our nanny state.
Anyway, it's a good revenue racket and should shore up the coffers after the last fag butt has been stamped out next New Year's Eve.
Give it a rest, lads, ye're fooling no one. The truth is ye don't give a rat's posterior about obesity just introduce the damn tax and cut the health guff.
