Tits on the NHS

This is it....I'm finally blogging. I have been intending to start some kind of daily contribution for a very long time and incredibly, I am sitting down to do this today. My purpose with this blog is to discuss contemporary issues that have either been in the news or have occurred to me that day. I don't pretend that I will always be factually correct or that others will share my opinion but I'll throw them out there and see what people think.

So to today's topic which has been in the front page of The Sun, is about a woman who got a boob job on the NHS. Poor old Josie Cunningham was so desperate to be like Jordan but simply didn't have the bust. She managed to blag a Doctor to say she needed it and the tax-payer splashed out about £5k to get our aspirational heroine up to a 36DD. The girl is 22 and has two children.

 I must first add before I continue any further that I am pretty much against all kinds of cosmetic surgery for the purposes of beauty. 'Just get on with it' would usually be my response to someone who wanted a nose job. Or perhaps a more likely one would be 'Do you want me to smash it in a bit for you?' I do feel sorry for women with ginormous muzzumbas that get awful back-ache and I'd let them have theirs taken down a size or two on the NHS but this girl having hers enlarged to become a glamour model (gammy-model as I like to call them) is quite ridiculous.

Now I'm going to get a bit serious for a second. I am concerned about how The Sun (Britian's most reputable paper, I'm sure we would all concede) treated this piece of news. They went ramping off about how the tax-payer is paying for all this and I agree....we all do....that it's scandalous. But for me the real issue, and hypocrisy from The Sun, is that our society is permitting and perhaps even forcing a certain demographic into becoming all-consumed with a desire for this lifestyle and ideal: a need to become a barbie and live the 'celeb-life'. It seems mad to me that this paper will paste this woman across their front page and victimise her as a scurge on the public funds when lurking just one sheet, one ply of paper away, is a purky, little, blonde, Manc girl ( Sam) with her bubbly breasts out.

The real issue however for me is that Josie Cunningham is a mother of 2 and would undergo such superficial surgery for her own sake and risk jeopardizing her ability to care for her children. Can you imagine having the responsibility of children and then dumping them off at your Ma's while you go for major, and unnecessary surgery. I know my own mother wouldn't (even now) and I hope yours wouldn't either. To me that is the worst part and watching her video where she plays dumb on The Sun's website you just want to get her some help. But it won't be just her, there's a full generation of them for Britain's favourite redtop to indoctrinate and then demonize. But maybe all this anti-boob-job sentiment I hold is because I don't really like titties and perhaps I should just shut my mouth.

Well there you go. Blog number one. I'll try to do one a day and if you're interested you'll read. I'm off now to watch England play Montenegro; a country dear Josie Cunningham would struggle to spell, let alone locate on a map.
