European Union Says Fat People Deserve Special Parking Spaces

Fat-Homer-Simpson-psd9265

While the world is melting down, the European Union remains focused on the things that really matter, bashing Israel and announcing the need for special parking spaces for fat people.

Because this is what a lefty utopia looks like. Two stabbings and an endless bureaucracy.

Being fat is a disability, EU judges have ruled, meaning that companies in Europe must offer obese staff bigger chairs, special parking spaces and a lighter work load.

British employers will have to bear the costs of litigation and of finding ways to ensure that overweight workers are not placed at any disadvantage.

Lawyers have described the ruling as a “real problem” for businesses because EU judges did not define at what level of clinical or severe obesity a worker could be classed as disabled.

I’m sure the lawyers and judges and activists will be happy to work it out for all the billable hours there are.

Nick de Bois, co-chairman of the Commons all-party parliamentary group on public health, said: “It seems to me the court is overlooking the role of personal responsibility.”

It’s the EU. If you wanted personal responsibility, you shouldn’t have joined a collectivist scheme.

    The Iranians gave money, training, material and other logistical support to Shia and Sunni groups during the Iraq War.

    Someone surmised that the Iranians thought they could operate better in an environment of pure chaos than the Americans could.

    After all the gave aid and comfort to Al Qaeda, who they are at war with and who they knew they would be at war with.

    So if one group would do it, why not another group?

    The liberal leadership is not and has not been about equality for long time now. They are just stirring the pot, because the Democrat Leadership believe they can operate in a chaotic environment better than the Republicans.

    Fat people should be stabled and accommodated in the houses of European union judges where they can receive all the sympathies deserving of their condition,looked after by these learned judges.

    America is at the same point, obesity is a disability.

    The European Union, being the brainstorm of Marxists and agents of the former Soviet Union, already blames many ailments and disabilities on capitalism, although no country in Europe (and not even the U.S.) has ever had a fully capitalist or free economic system, only variations of mixed economies. Personal responsibility for one’s physical and mental health is not recognized; everyone must be a victim and deserving of special lobbies, consideration, protection, and legislation. Or so the “thinking” goes. A famous philosopher was once asked what the difference was between a welfare state (or a mixed economy) and totalitarianism. She answered: Time. Fat people in such countries, goes the welfare statists and other empowered society planners and managers, must be accorded the same legal accommodation as, say, Muslims. Nor should they be treated as pariahs, nor be the subject of disparaging speech or visual depictions.

    Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic comes to mind. This union is going down but until then, let’s make sure everyone is fairly accommodated.

    EU logic:
    Drunk drivers deserve special roads because being drunk is also a self-inflicted disability.

    What especially makes no sense is the special parking spaces.
    They are not handicapped. They need more exercise , and the farther away they park, the more calories they’ll burn.
    But by all means, put their spaces as close as to buildings possible and they’re likely to stay heavy.

    I’ve learned that if it sounds ridiculous it probably isn’t correct.I’ve read rulings by this court and they are often much more complex and moderate then shouting headlines and articles can convey.

    I don’t mind giving them a little extra room. I hate it when they bash their car door into the side of my car.
