John Prescott tells of bulimia battle

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7357008.stm I thought this was pretty interesting news. John Prescott has long been the butt of jokes here in the UK in relation to his weight and conspicuous consumption (not only food, but his nickname here is "Two Jags" for his car preference), and I think it will have surprised many people for him to admit to suffering from an eating disorder. Personally, although I don't have much use for the man as a politician (even compared to other politicians), I think it was pretty brave of him to go public with such a personal issue in order to help other sufferers. He has stepped down from front-bench politics so it's unlikely that he's decided to do it as a publicity stunt. I say good on him and hopefully it will promote discussion about eating disorders in men. |
Man, some people will bitch about anything:
