A woman who claims to have been beaten up because she is overweight is campaigning to see discrimination against fat people outlawed.
Marsha Coupe, 53 was attacked on a train by a woman who began verbally abusing her for her size.
I was returning home one night on a train and a woman sat across from me started kicking me and said, Hey fattie! You should not be on the train, you need two seats, she said...

Something tells me assault and battery is already illegal.
Hunger strike?
...because beating people up isn't already illegal!
...oh... wait... nevermind.
22 stone = 308 pounds
I believe you are right.
“””””campaigning to see discrimination against fat people outlawed””””””
impossible
...wants “hate crimes” for blobs.
I wonder if Oprah is nervous?
LOL
Well, that is pretty much two women.
I just finished reading the story at the Mail and the other girl in the story is the one that makes me laugh. A heavier girl is complaining that even though she gets all dolled up, she still can’t get into hot clubs. And that’s wrong. Because she should be able to.
The war against Islam is already being lost by her and her friends. She just doesn’t know it yet.
I really do not wish to hear again how sophisticated Euros are.
They seem to be rednecks.
The heavy woman should have stood up and sat on the skinny one.
At least fat women are easy to pick up, all you need for your opening line is “I’ve Got Fudge!!!! Hershey’s Chocolate Kisses....We’re Talking Haagen Dazs, what do you say?”
Jury nullification in this case.
Doesn’t sound to me like she could get into one seat...
Of course, if you ride public transport, you deserve what you get as you “save money and reduce your carbon footprint”.
If, on the other hand, you have to fly...
ROTFL
I’m surprised the British government isn’t harassing fat people for contributing to global warming. The Brits are lowlifes.
no hate crimes for:
fat people
bald people
annoying people
smelly people
old people
You know that’s one of the consequences of socialism, suddenly things that shouldn’t be anyone’s business do become everyone’s business. “Hey fatty, I have to pay for YOUR healthcare” “Hey fatty, your carbon footprint is ruining the environment.”
Socialists are going to reap the whirlwind.
You are telling me you cannot walk the streets in Great Britain without being attacked because you are fat ?
Right...........!!!!!
Too bad you get attacked but this BS doesn't fly
;->
“I’ve Got Fudge!!!! Hershey’s Chocolate Kisses....We’re Talking Haagen Dazs, what do you say?”
Man... that got me laughing! Mean... but funny as hell!
Girls who eat sweets take up two seats.
Guess I should credit Andrew Dice Clay for that one.
Probably so.
I’m not a fan of extreme obesity, but folks who get that way are hurting themselves much more than anyone else.
They are miserable 100% of their waking life. Don’t kid yourself.
I’ve momentarily gotten as high as 249, and I’ll vouch for the fact that I was just physically uncomfortable even at that. I can only imagine what the 300 plus people feel like.
LOL
Why is the UK so weird? Honestly, before I saw where this story was from, I suspected as much.
Wow! Elvira has really let herself go!
Cominf to America after the Health Care takeover and young people MUST PAY to take care of fat people and old people. There will be rioting.
She is most likely one of the many who cheer every time a smoker is harassed or beaten up just for smoking a cigarette. I have absolutely NO sympathy for her.

I’ll bet the girl doing the harassing is a self proclaimed “greenie”.
I was also getting very fat a few years ago. ...felt like I was dying and had to change that. Several kinds of exercise did it, and I’m about normal. ...feels much better!
I’ve lost about twenty pounds, but I need to lose another twenty to thirty.
Good for you BTW. I’m glad to hear it. I’m also proud of you. It isn’t all that easy.
When I was younger, I could eat a whole cow at one sitting, and weigh in the next morning at my target weight.
Oh well... ;-)
Fatty fatty boombalatty. Who would roll her in dough?
The slams will shoot her for wasting food.
fat people bald people annoying people smelly people old people
Hey! I'm one of those.
“Something tells me assault and battery is already illegal.”
Not so much in Britian. No self defense there and criminal coddling to boot.
It is disgusting to harass other people like this. But it is invited when the sheeple listen to the socialists demonize “unhealthy” behaviors and bodies. With socialists, mind your own business means nothing because everything, including your body is their business. It is as if you are a child with a mommie and daddie running your whole life. In these societies the people begin acting like infants and angry children. People lose their sense of freedom and dignity.
It is no way to live and I am sick of it in this country, too. It is going to get worse here.
They will scatter like scared rabbits, moving faster and farther than they have in decades.
Sorry Maam,
I was just standing up for your rights ;)
