People are trying to make "fat-ism" as bad as racism etc.

Now I dont agree with any form of homophobia, racism etc But arnt these derogatary comments bad because the victim cannot help the colour of their skin or sexuality, but you can help being fat.

A demonstration is being held outside the offices of the mayor of London asking him to lead the way in making sure employers are not prejudiced.

It'll only last 10 mins as they'll be out of breath and will need a sit down.

As a big fat fooker it does hurt my feeling when people shout gee up you fat get many a night i have cried into my lager and kebab and waddled off into the sunset with tears in my eyes so do spare a thought for the chubbies of the world.

It's fkin ridiculous.

That is all.

Totally agree, its simple biology is you eat more than you burn off you put on weight. Its not something that you can help or are born with.

Fatties of the world hear this if you dont want to get called fat go to the gym and loose weight.

The comment the Doctor made just makes him look like an idiot:

""Not everyone has a free choice about controlling their weight."

fat bastards

Attacking someone for being fat should be a crime. It's another form of bullying.

well I get stick all the time for being short and I take it on the chin, I am not marching down to London with the slogan "Vertically challanged people have rites too!"

if the jokes are meant to be a bit of light hearted fun and banter then there is no problem with it. If people use it to try and bully others then it should be stopped.

Finally someone gets the point. It's about bullying.

Agreed it is, but the point compo is trying to make and your missing, is with skin colour, hair colour etc, these people have no choice, regarding being fat, these people do have a choice!!

Maybe instead of marching in london and demonstrating they should go the gym, lose the weight, and stop the insults that way.

ok so everyone with big ears/goofy teeth/big nose/small nose/small ears/bong eyes/big chin etc etc should start campaigns too.

Fuck me if arseholes like these carry on no one will be able to say/do anything anymore. World is going mad.

Piss off you four eyed goofy tw@t.

They'll make light-hearted fun and banter illegal soon.

Hmmm. No-one left to pick on Tree?

The point why I think this is mad is because its a problem you can do something about, not like what tree has mentioned. I have to say I bet everyone on here has seen a big bloke who is fat and though Jesus look at him.

I agree people shouldnt be bullied about their weight but if they have a problem with a few jestures or saying that they didnt get a job because of their weight the answer is simple, do some exercise.

Also that fitness instructer who is fat on the website making a comment that she has been laughed out of job interviews, no shit sherlock, would you want a fat fitness instructer. Its like me trying to teatch people the high jump.

Clearly OO is a fatty.

i am sorry but had to put this on:

did the slogans on the placards say, "Down with Salads" and "More funding for burger vans"

"what do we want, more pies, when do we want them NOW I am starving"

"Up with calories, down (the hatch) with everything"

Tomorrow there off to millhouse and springs to protest against leisure centres.

"Hooray For Lard"!!!!

"Equal rights for people wanting bigger portions"!

Pretty soon, they'll ban farting and coughing in public.

Dibble, you fat bastad ((c)you), what do you think??

I'm saying nowt because I AM a fat bastad (cADG).

At least it's better than being a fat silly boy!
