I'm fat and I couldn't give a crap about what anyone else thinks, though I understand the distress it would cause to someone who is already insecure about themselves.

People are just dicks. And I can't see what they think they are going to achieve with this. There's enough fat shaming in mainstream media, we don't need a card telling us we're fat, chances are we've already realised.

Some people must lead very sad unfulfilled lives if they feel the need to start hate campaigns against other people based on their appearance. No one who is happy in their life and themselves would feel the need to abuse others.

I certainly don't approve of the card thing, but obesity is a major problem in the UK and now costs the NHS more than treatment for smoking related illnesses.

Reply privately (closed, thread got too big)

But then what are we talking here 'large' wise? I'm obese of course but well most have seen my pics, I wouldn't class myself as a large lady with cankles who only wears men's clothes (was that tactfully put?)

No one should ever be singled out because of the way they look but unfortunately being fat is one of only things we can change after being singled out, not like coloured people, gay people etc. I'm with _iew on this, it won't help to lose weight you need to want to lose it, a card given to you will only confirm what you already know and probably they will go home and comfort eat, I can't think of many that would go home throw the chocolate in the bin because of this, it would have the opposite effect.

Seen the word 'vile' bandied about ad nauseum once again (on other forums). Just don't get why having a _iew you don't agree with is vile amongst people who generally have strong _iews that others probably don't agree with. I'd love to see more reasoned arguing of a point and less populist labelling.

Some people are just wankers. There's a cure for being fat provided the person wants to do it. And it can only come from themselves. Speaking as an ex-fat, moving through chubby and hopefully seeing where I end up type anyway. There is, however, no cure for being a cunt. Not that I've found, anyway.

The govt went all out to scares smokers off cigarettes.

Only smokers got stung by increased cigarette prices.

The govt tried to introduce a 'fat tax' but because it affected more groups there was uproar.

Obesity is something people can change. As is smoking.

It's not like racism or fleeing a home that's within a war zone.

The leaflet is entitled 'overweight haters'. That isn't someone reasonably and rationally putting forward an alternative _iewpoint. It's deliberately antagonistic language designed to evoke shame and embarrassment. I'd say 'vile' is the perfect word to describe their approach to addressing obesity.

There's not always a cure for being fat as it depends on why the person is fat. I suffer from a genetic condition called Lipoedema or painful fat syndrome as it's also known which means my body creates abnormal fat cells which diet nor execise will ever reduce. I eat clean, no carbs, no sugars, wheat free and gluten free yet I still remain the same. Not all fat is from staying on your arse and stuffing your face which is what the majority of society think

I'm over weight, probably by about 2-3 stone. Although I think I carry it well. (Don't really care if others don't agree) it's my body, I don't have any weight related health issues, so I don't use NHS money. I don't let it get me down either.

I gained most of my weight while being pregnant, & to me it's a reminder how how bloody awesome & blessed I am to have carried & gave birth to 4 beautiful children.

In this case it's not the holding of the _iew that's vile, it's handing someone else a card telling them you hate them for being a certain way that's vile. In no way is it reasoned arguing of a point. It's just being a cunt, probably for publicity of some kind.

Lots of campaigning and protesting is designed to evoke shame and embarrassment. Fair amount of antagonism too. I'm sure there are many cases to be made to attempt to change the _iews and behaviours of others and this activity is no exception.

My point is that so much conversation these days seems to consist of making a personal point and 'dropping the mike' as if all further comment is redundant.

Reading more about this and the text on the cards, as well as the M.O. used by those handing them out...this seems far more about acts of pointless cruelty than any pretense of being a slightly misguided campaign to improve anyone's health.

So yes, vile is a wholly appropriate word to use. Sometimes something isn't a populist _iew because a lot of people think it, it's just common sense.

But it isn't a debate when the person(s) begins with hateful and shaming language as demonstrated in the leaflet in question. It isn't designed to invite an open discourse on the subject of obesity. It's designed to shut anybody with opposing _iews down before they even have a chance to react.

No, the card isn't the debate.

No, the behaviour of the person with the card isn't debating.

The debate goes on every day on the TV, in policy discussions, on forums and in homes. The card and the tactic are just a tiny part of the sentiments and _iews that sit within the debate.

In a nutshell it's still about free speech. Which People are mostly in favour of right up until they don't like what is being said.

Is there proof it's definitely more than one random dickhead handing them out? From what I've read it's a man who drops them in women's laps then quickly leaves "

I fucking bet he scarpers quick.

They probably haven't got the balls to hand one to a man

I think a man receiving such a card would act very differently to a woman

"Well I searched and it's still just the ONE card by the ONE man though there is another man that claims he saw another man giving another woman a card.

Talk about Chinese whispers.

Is there a news site link?

I wonder if there was even one man......

Ok found the news report.

It is not discrimination

Discrimination requires that a person is disadvantaged when compared against a 'comparator'. The comparator for overweight people can only be people who are not overweight

Handing out leaflets/card, not matter how tasteless, does not discrimate against an overweight person. It is very thoughtless and most probably intended to cause hurt but it is neither discrimination nor a hate crime

Actually it's abuse and, if caught, they could be prosecuted for their actions.

That being said, I did some research on these cards tonight and I suspect that they are linked directly to a new start-up Internet company who are trying to gain fame through infamomy. . .

Nope; unpleasant and unnecessary as it is, telling overweight people that they are overweight is not abuse and nor can any prosecution be initiated; neither by the CPS nor in a civil case

Sorry, but the way it stands, people can hurt others for no reason whatsoever and get away with it

It would be hate speech if the cards were encouraging people to physically hurt overweight people. However, I don't think that is what was happening

I detest this behaviour too but unfortunately, there are no legal remedies

shall we also accept that these cards could be given out to children and teenagers by their peers?(lets call them bullies)

Nobody has the right to subject anyone,particularly someone they dont even know, to emotional abuse...which is what it is.

though if it was a game of trumps I'd say handing the perp a level 10 'you are a sad cunt card' would bring a smile to my face.

Who are these self appointed judges of who is overweight. It's simply not acceptable. Would they think that's its simply free speech if someone accosted their mum with some zealot _iew. What a bunch of tossers. So they wouldn't let a fat doctor save their kids life or a fat copper investigate their house being robbed. Fuck off back to the middle ages lol

No it wouldn't in the same way people slating others for being a tory or being a ulip supporter or a labour supporter aren't convicted of hate crimes.

You have a point. The moment these cards are given out by this man, he then becomes liable if these end up being used by bullies in a playground

Nobody has the right to subject anyone,particularly someone they dont even know, to emotional abuse...which is what it is."

Yes, it is emotional abuse; but not like in a domestic abuse or safeguarding sense and therefore, unfortunately, perfectly legal

though if it was a game of trumps I'd say handing the perp a level 10 'you are a sad cunt card' would bring a smile to my face."

Now, that I like
