He doesn't look that fat on TV, maybe because he's always wearing a suit

Boris Johnson to launch war on fat after coronavirus scare
It’s all right for you thinnies, PM tells staff as he accepts obesity increases risk from Covid-19

Boris Johnson weighed 17 and a half stone before he was admitted to hospital

Boris Johnson is preparing a “much more interventionist” drive to tackle obesity as part of the fight against coronavirus after his spell in hospital with the disease.
The prime minister told senior ministers and advisers, “I’ve changed my mind on this” and that he was drawing up a new strategy.
Research has found that being obese doubles the risk of needing hospital treatment for coronavirus. About one in three British adults is clinically obese, classified as those with a body mass index (BMI) above 30. It is one of the highest rates in the western world.
Mr Johnson is understood to be convinced that the reason he ended up in intensive care was because of his weight, which was 17 and a half stone before he was admitted to hospital. BMI is determined by a person’s weight relative to their height. At 5ft 9in, Mr Johnson’s score will have been about 36.
Obesity is a risk factor for other health problems, such as diabetes and heart disease, which are also known to increase vulnerability to Covid-19.
Figures released by the health service yesterday revealed that a quarter of coronavirus patients who have died in hospitals in England had diabetes.
In a column for The Times, James Forsyth, political editor of The Spectator, disclosed that the prime minister remarked “it’s all right for you thinnies” when discussing the disease in Downing Street. Mr Johnson believes that the pandemic provides an opportunity for the government to reinforce the message that people need to lead healthy lives. He is said to be “obsessed” with encouraging more people to cycle to work and believes it is a good moment to “get Britain on its bike”.
In other developments:
• The number of people who have died with coronavirus in the UK rose by 428 to 33,616, while 233,151 people have tested positive for the disease.
• A total of 126,064 tests were carried out on Wednesday, the highest number so far, surpassing Matt Hancock’s daily testing target of 100,000.
• London’s transport system was given a £1.6 billion government bailout after Sadiq Khan, the mayor, threatened to cut bus and Tube services.
• Lord Blunkett, a former Labour education secretary, accused teaching unions of working against the interests of children by opposing plans to reopen schools.
• Ministers were told that up to eight million people would be waiting for NHS treatment by the autumn as hospitals struggled to cope with pressures caused by coronavirus.
• Frontline healthcare workers will be the first of hundreds of thousands to be given a new “game-changing” antibody test.
Mr Johnson’s suggestion that he wants a more “interventionist” approach comes despite his longstanding criticism of the “nanny state”.
The sugar tax came into effect in April 2018 and added 18p or 24p to a litre of soft drink, depending on its sugar content. Some ministers are pushing for the levy to be extended.
Mr Johnson pledged to review “sin taxes” during the Conservative leadership campaign, a move that put him at odds with Mr Hancock, who is now his health secretary. Mr Hancock has argued that the sugar tax has been a “total triumph”.
In a sign that the prime minister is focusing on the future, he told government advisers that he wanted them to concentrate on the “recovery agenda” and fulfil the “people’s priorities”.
He highlighted the Conservative manifesto pledges, including 20,000 more police officers and a promise to build 40 hospitals.
“He was optimistic and focused on the future, on getting back to the levelling-up agenda,” a source said. During David Cameron’s first conference as party leader Mr Johnson backed mothers who were pushing pies through school railings in protest at a healthy eating drive.
Earlier this week it was reported that when Mr Johnson was asked how to avoid coronavirus, he replied: “Don’t be a fatty in your fifties.”
One of his longstanding advisers said that the prime minister’s own battle with his waistline gives him “permission to speak” to voters about the need to lose weight. During his stint as foreign secretary between 2016 and 2018 he was eating a lot while flying between countries.
The prime minister has also written about his “delicious late-night binges of chorizo and cheese”. He is said to have lost a stone since coming out of hospital a month ago.
A government review is analysing how factors including obesity, ethnicity and gender can affect the impact of the coronavirus on people’s health. Ministers believe that tackling obesity will become increasingly important because Britain is likely to have to live with the virus until a vaccine is developed.
Of the 22,332 patients who have died since March 31, when pre-existing conditions began to be reported, 26 per cent had type 1 or type 2 diabetes, and 18 per cent had dementia. Some 15 per cent were reported to have chronic pulmonary disease and 1,549 had asthma.
Despite Mr Johnson’s pledge to look towards the recovery stage of the crisis, Labour has said that the clarity of the government’s message has been eroded in recent weeks. “The message until last week had been very clear: stay at home to protect lives and the NHS,” Rachel Reeves, the shadow Cabinet Office minister, said.
“That clarity of message and that consistency of message has been eroded in the last week because we now have different approaches in different nations in the United Kingdom. I think that does cause some confusion and risks the rules being misinterpreted in different parts of the country.”

Boris looked like he had lost a good bit of weight last time he was on the box imo.
I told you this guy has changed after his illness!
He will be knifed in the back by his own soon.
He is going to abandon his attacks on the Nanny State. Sugar taxes, take away taxes, children's food.
Watch this space but I do think he will be gawn before he can bring in any of these caring Conservative measures. The Grandees will be smoking with rage. He could be one of the best Socialist Prime Ministers ever

I would never have guessed he was that much - god knows how much he weighed in his "pomp" a few years ago - 20+ stone?
I heard a rumour that he wants to become a marriage guidance counsellor
I heard he was pumping Dom's missus...but sneaky Dom was secretly filming it and will use it to blackmail Bojo.
If you want to bring down the number of people dying with coronavirus, the last thing you want do is to stop people being fat bastards.
If they're fat bastards, they'll die of other things, while they're still young. If they slim down, they'll survive to old age, and then they're in much more danger of dying with the virus.
Old age is a way bigger factor in coronavirus deaths than fat bastardness.

Weight is meaningless without height. Trump is aparently 6ft 2 or 3.
You could be 16 stone at that and be fit as hell. 16 stone as a 5ft 3 woman however would be insane.
And apparently, given she's 22 stone in stocking soles with the weights of the chips on her shoulders, Sturgeon is a severe corona risk.

Apparently Don is 6 foot 3 and Boris 5 foot 9
However if you look at photos of them together there doesn't seem to be 6 inches different

I know a bloke who is 80 odd and over 20 stone
Never missed a day on the piss for 60 years!
As with everything in life, luck plays a huge part
jucel it's all statistics.
As this is a gambling site, I do marvel (and I'm not having a go at you btw, the following is not intended that way!) at how statistics are ignored by chit chat ranters :)
I.e. if the stats said
White horses 90% of winning
Black horses 10% of winning
I know how they'd bet.
But some chit chatters are of the liking to say
"I knew a bloke who drunk a bottle of Whisky day until he was 80, drinkng isn't bad! Doctors are full of it!".

Have you considered getting medical help regarding your unhealthy obsession with the party north of the border?
Politicspunter, I explained the other day that I don't answer questions from trolling morons who constantly use stupid questons as their trolling technique. I'm not sure how clearly I could have put it. Hard of thinking doesn't even cut it. I'll respond with a question.
Have you ever considered being honest for once and admitting that which everyone on this forum can see, to the point it's laughable you deny it, that you are an SNP supporter pretending not to be? (The correlation between being slow on the uptake and being just that is BTW about 1 to 1).

It's a thread about Boris going into hospital but you insist, as you do on virtually every thread, of forcing the SNP into it.
"You are clearly needing some sort of mental health support."
This is what is called in internet parlance "gaslighting" but I'll make 2 comments about your denial.
1. This is not my first rodeo on the internet. People lying (especially if it's political and ESPECIALLY if they are SNP supporters) is extremely common.
2. Even if you were, the question of your location is absolutely irrelevant. One of the biggest scottish separatism tools on the planet infamously lives in Bath. There were/are nazis who support the 3rd reich living in the US. Argentina had quite the number for a few decades. Saying "I stay in Bedfordshire" does not mean you don't support the SNP, it's the answer to the question "where do you live" not "who do you support". Do you need this explained further? Given you are an SNP supporter and all the intelligence that entails, I'm guessing you do.
Anyway, I'm so hurt that the nasty man on the internet decided to use random allegations that I'm mental to distract from subjects he doesn't want touched on. Wa wa wa. Distraction. Hurty words. Me so stupid i'm gonna go down his rabbit hole .. wa waa...

Certainly not funny, not remotely nearing being a joke and certainly too stupid to be just a lie. Does beg the question PP why you would correspond with someone like this? Take a good look at yourself!

No, I've observed (as I'm sure have others if they are remotely observant) that on every thread that even touches on the SNP, you are rather strangely in there like a fly to sh1t.
Making the joke
"And apparently, given she's 22 stone in stocking soles with the weights of the chips on her shoulders, Sturgeon is a severe corona risk."
Does not mean I'm insane. To suggest I am is beyond pathetic. And to point out what I just said opening sentence (and above) is spot on.
Try harder, you've been rumbled and don't like it one bit do you.

You are right enough, he obviously has issues, which I won't be helping by replying to him. He is now blocked.
No point blocking people. Everyone should have their say but don't argue with an idiot, you can't win!
I was worried that he might be ill and I unintentionally was making it worse. Thought it best just to block him.
