Repeating yet again the phrase WTF....
What I find bizarre is that TR is always, and I mean always, referred to as the "former head of the EDL". He left that organisation because of the racism, yet he's forever saddled with that baggage. Are former Marxist leaders routinely referred to as "former leader of the communist" party" if they left that group? It's just a lazy means of denigrating him and dismissing him without ever actually having to address what he says.

This was pretty smart by Tommy.
The reaction by many here is off the scale BS, which is exactly what I think was predicted. He's many things, but he's not an extremist.
As I've attested to in many posts above, I'm really not a fan of this bloke, but this was quite a good move to perhaps make those who dismiss him without thought, think again.

Is it/him getting any real coverage?

@baron-silas-greenback barely a ripple, but I’ve not been in London today.
To be honest, it’s goimg to take more than this to overshadow May / Brexit at the moment.

I wonder what would have happened had it been a flight from Istanbul with the Turkish equivalent of the Home Office...

Has Corbyn complimented Venezuela’s anti obesity measures yet?

Surely only a matter of time. Also their amazing environmental efforts reducing population impact (extremely likely to get exponentially better), oh and lets not forget their recent minimum wage increase, 3 million bolivars per month! Everyone's a millionaire in that socialist paradise!

I can see a clash with the "big is beautiful" activists in the near future.
What I find weird is that stress about body image is at an alltime high, yet so is obesity. Interesting that hot chick on posters is banned in London yet obese land whales on the front cover of magazines is applauded. There can never ever be some kind of middle ground on anything can there?

Hot chick banned in London? Say what?

@rancid-schnitzel they had the 'fat expert' from Massey uni on TV last night (the project)... far out. I get there are many reasons contributing to obesity and that 'shaming', in the genuine sense, isnt overly helpful for most. But to try and frame any and all commentary about risks and implications of obesity as shaming is fucking bullshit and dangerous.

That's the problem isn't it. You should never assume an overweight person is just lazy. There s also a place in hell for those who mock overweight people at the gym or who are genuinely trying to lose weight. But when you get grossly overweight people trying to normalise that and labelling reasonable comments about health risks etc "fat shaming" then you have a serious problem.
Let's face it, the vast majority of people affected by this obesity "epidemic" do not have glandular problems or other issues that prevent them from losing weight.
