Breitbart ^ | April 25, 2016 | Liam Deacon

A leading employment judge has demanded new laws to help the overweight fight “fattism” by allowing them to sue colleagues who offend them.

Philip Rostant, the training director for the Employment Tribunals of England and Wales, claimed in an academic paper that fat people are paid on average less and are more likely to be fired.

This isn’t about social justice (whatever that means) it’s about control. Pure and simple.

Here’s a silly ditty,
You can sing it right away
Now, here is what you say
So sing it while you may

Here’s a silly jingle,
You can sing it night or noon
Here’s the words, that’s all you need
‘Cause I just sang the tune:

Oh, I don’t want her, you can have her
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat for me
I don’t want her, you can have her,
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat
She’s too fat
She’s too fat for me

I get dizzy
I get numbo
When I’m dancing
With my Jum-Jum-Jumbo

Well, hell's bells! Why doesn't this guy just go all out and ban "uglism", "shortism", "tallism", conservatism or whatever other "ism" the Left doesn't cotton to?

These liberals can't see reality because they have their BIG, FAT NOSES stuck in everyone else's business. In a normal society, people like this judge would be laughed out of the public square and BANNED from suggesting such things.

These damn lawyers/judges are always looking for way to make more money off the commoners. Screw them.

Heard the other day that they are graduating more lawyers then there are openings so I guess they have to do something to generate more business.

Fattism is an acquired medical condition just like smoking. Discrimination is allowed.
