The face of the nanny state wants more surgery

We covered the fattest man in Britain a while back here. 

  As you can see, Mr. Mason has a little weight problem. 
  He's not only been on government assistance, but has also milked the system for every last dime he can get, such as having several attractive young women wait on him, um, hand and foot.
  I made the point in the previous article that Mr. Mason is the face of the nanny state.
  He will never be full. 
  He will never be independent. 
  He will always take advantage of any handout.
  He has been trained by the government to believe that someone else is at fault, someone else will fix him, someone else will food and clothe him and someone else will make the hard decisions for him.
  Having been originally fired from his job for theft, Mr. Mason is completely dependent on the government for his subsistence and, as a minor celebrity, perfectly comfortable demanding whatever he decides he needs to make life fulfilling, including suing the government because they should have stopped him from eating so much in the first place.
  His initial problem with eating, he says, is that his heart was broken and thus he could not deal with life and its tragedies and took to Fritos as an alternative to life and romance.
  Somewhere around a million pounds (about one and a half million dollars) have been spent over the years on Mr. Mason, money that could have gone to fix THIS man, who also is under government care, only he's had to wait for treatment until NHS decides they have the money. He can still do his work as a plumber, they say, because his arm will reach around through the pipes.

    Mr. Mason, on the other hand, has lost a great deal of weight but is very unhappy with the sagging skin that remains. Therefore he wants the "unsightly" skin removed, at government expense. Daily Mail:

However, NHS bosses have refused to perform cosmetic surgery, insisting that he needs to maintain a stable weight before it can be considered. 

But Mr Mason, who can now leave the house in a motorised wheelchair, said: 'I just need a little bit more help. I feel like I have been just left high and dry.  

'I need this operation to be able to get my life back, to be able to get back into society. It is stopping me living a reasonable life.'

  Of course, we want Mr. Mason to live a reasonable life; his extra flesh is indeed unsightly. One might say, however, that the plumber deserves to live a reasonable life too, as do many others under government health care; and the plumber's physical problem isn't one of his making.

  In contrast, the US government has taken Mr. Mason's advice and snatched an 8 year old child from his mother and his home and put him in a foster home before he eats himself into a wheelchair.

  Either way, it would seem our lives are to be handed over to the nannies. 

  Either way, the individual will not learn to make decisions independent of outside forces who think they know better than our families.
