Josie Cunningham (23), shop worker and wannabe ‘glamour model’, had her breasts enlarged (at taxpayers’ expense). Now she wants them reduced (at taxpayers’ expense).

A lady supporter has emailed me the following:

There are times I’m embarrassed to be a women. I think you said men collectively pay over 70% of the income tax collected in the UK, and women less than 30%. Why aren’t men rioting in the streets over madness like this?

We recently put up a post about Josie Cunningham (23), a shop worker and wannabe ‘glamour model’, whose breast enlargement operation had been carried out by the NHS – at taxpayers’ expense – while the NHS had declined to finance an operation which might have enabled a two-year-old boy with cerebral palsy to walk. Here’s that post:

The lady supporter was referring to a piece in today’s Sun:

Ms Cunningham says of her breasts:

They’re so big I find them embarrassing and I don’t feel I can do any modelling because they’ve attracted so much negative attention. I’m thinking about having a reduction on the NHS.

Let’s hope that if she formally requests another operation, the NHS will refuse it. But I doubt they will refuse it. Especially if she cries.
