A tax on obesity? Fat chance of that

IT’S a long way from the dishevelled church-gate politician waffling from the back of a lorry of a Sunday morning to the Armani-suited, health-obsessed operator we have now.

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.
