   I use my local hospital regularly and I find it is working just fine. Clean,well lit and friendly doctors and nurses. They all do a good job,for poor pay.

   The NHS has not failed,it is being failed by the government and certain folk who abuse it.We should all look after ourselves a little,but there are people who will,and those who won,t.And given a choice who would elect to be ill?.in some things we have a choice and in some we do not,but self help has to be worth the effort of trying at least??>

   Devil B,Nature,5th of June, page 783,Dynamics of Fat Cell turnover in Humans. Perhaps you might read the online version at www.nature.com/nature.
   I still have connections in England, 3 daughter and 6 grandchildren and I still own a house there. I still vote in elections.
   You ought to consider this a bit, why have I left. I left because England is no longer a land where I felt free.
   England is a land where people,like you want to abuse the Idea of the NHS, it was meant to be for every one and it became clear to me that more and more demand that it is only for saints,the perfect people.
   I was born into an England that had no health service, whereby a broken leg might be splinted on the kitchen table.Where kids died of almost anything,measels, mumps, whooping cough, polio.
   I grew up in the east end of London, where bomb sites were our playgrounds, where half in the kids in my class didn't make to adulthood, there were at least 6 kids in my class struck down by polio,had to wear leg irons.
   You, born into a fat comfortable world fought for by my father and others of his generation want to take what they created and allow only your elete to be helped.
   Selfish is too good a word for the likes of you, all of the sick are entitled to have their pain and suffering eased, whether or not you think it is self inflicted.
   Just think of what your realy saying, that smokers can die in agony with cancer, that obese people can die when there are things that can help them.
   I worked hard for some fifty years,dragged my self up from the gutter of an east end slum to run my own company that employed people.To have some know nothing punk like you to tell me that because I've retired to Italy I know have no say.on yer bike pal.

   Why shouldn't obese people be allowed help on the NHS when it already provides help for alcohol and drug addicts? Oh, and by the way I am slightly overweight, but so far I have not needed help to diet, I realise t ho that other people do and should continue to be supported.

   Arthur from Italiano - What a load of tosh... People become obese from eating too much, like takeaways and chips. How can it be decided our body wieght at that age? in my case I should be a nice slim figure but I aint (And I dont gorge on fast food choccy bars etc) and I excercise etc.
   Why are you preaching what the NHS can and cannot do when you jumped ship to Italy?? you lost your right to comment on anything in the uk the day you left. -'End of story'.
