Schools need to buy bigger desks and chairs because children are getting too fat for furniture used in most classrooms, according to former Cabinet minister Charles Clarke.
Clarke may be speaking from personal experience. The newspaper also reports that he “has a rather portly stature despite recent weight loss and has been nicknamed ‘two pizzas’ for his generous appetite.”
Dontcha think Clarke ought to be counseling schools to hold a few more rugby matches instead of rushing ahead to buy bigger desks? How do you suppose he pulled off his “recent weight loss”?
I’ll let you decide which Freudian defense mechanism this falls under.

I think the bigger desks is a good idea.
They should ask the fat kids to carry them around in Physical Ed. That might help them lose weight.
Dude looks like he needs a bigger desk.
There’s fat people in Europe?
Maybe they should make those kids carry aroun- Damn you Toubrouk!
No hard feelings, Pastafarian. We are merely two floating enlightened spirits meeting over a sea of hypocrisy (and human lard).
The trouble is the poms don’t know how to play decent rugby… Anyhow, I thought they had Jamie Oliver saving the day. He was on a mission for healthy lunches served up at schools.. Looks like he should be looking into what the Politicians are eating..
Yeah we have the same fat kid problem in Canada. In British Columbia you have to have grade 10 gym to graduate. Although, one of my friends who works at the school here says that you need grade 12 gym now. Don’t know if it’s true but it would be a good idea.
He probably got lipo to lose weight but went back to binging on pizza.
You don’t need to worry when you need a bigger desk as much as when you need a bigger limo.
