'No more late night cheese' Boris implores Brits to get 'fitter & healthier' like he did

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he is “doing all I can to lose weight” as he announced funding to help the public get “fitter and healthier”.

To coincide with World Obesity Day on Thursday, the PM has pledged £100million to help the nation slim.

Tubby adults will be able to access diet apps and weight-loss plans.

There may also be a reward scheme, to be developed by Air Miles founder Sir Keith Mills.

Boris Johnson, in intensive care with the virus last April, said: “If we all do our bit, we can reduce our health risks and take the pressure off the NHS.

"This funding will give extra support to people across the country who want to lose weight too."

The boost in funding comes after research found that 2.2 million of the 2.5 million global Covid deaths were in countries with high levels of obesity.

Overweight adults have a 50 per cent higher mortality from the virus.

Two in three adults in the UK are too fat.

Britain has suffered the fifth-highest number of deaths globally, with 123,296 pandemic-related fatalities recorded by Tuesday.

BREAKING: Late night cheese variant detected

[befree]

Man who closes all gyms gives weight loss advise 🤔

[stewiecthulhu]

When we do go out, we get harrased by his stazi officers.

[JoeyRhubarb]

Late night cheese? Good to hear he is getting on with his wife.

[AP-hpyo]

The nerve of this guy is unbelievable.
Nothing like a grossly overweight politician telling us how to be healthy, especially when he’s put the country under house arrest

[SammyInnit]

Like he did what? Go on a 7 mile bike ride while his police force hand out fines to commoners for sitting on park benches after a walk?

[AnonymousSuperTuber]

Easy for him to say. I've seen lots of people trying to exercise and getting arrested for it.

[RocketeerRaccoon]

lol, honestly I just can't take this guy seriously.

[fingerscrossed]

Does the public not mind being put under house arrest and now being told what to eat?

[Chepstowion_Adventura]

Already head of you Boris, I started doing 2 runs every day at start January 2022 and I’m still doing it.

[mattmartin]

So more rules, can't eat cheese any more

[fergusmoonshine]

You don't get fit sitting at home on a computer all day. This is the way the world is going and its all wrong. Online this, online that - its an unhealthy lifestyle both physically and mentally.

[dirtydemon]

Should be more worried about getting the public back to normal life, not him exercising, no one cares at this point Boris

[MassiveHappyClapper]

We have had enough of you and your lot telling us what to do. We will decide for ourselves. We are adults. We don't need or want to live in a nanny state.

[izabelamikuszewska]

I'm glad he feels energetic and full of beans.. Many of us unemployed and miserable... Sack the lot of them!!

[NoMercy-btxg]

Closes the Gyms but keeps Mc Donald's open and then tells the public to get fit 🤣. A year ago to this day Boris addressed the nation and said we just need to be sensible and wash our hands. He's taking the absolute P*** out of us, end this lockdown madness NOW.

[tome]

in other words boris is no longer pleasing himself before bedtime

[joannedibben]

He said no more late nite cheese.half the people can't even afford cheese now

[VictoriaWilder]

Also, you absolute knob jockey, wouldn’t it make sense to open gyms instead of only having fast food joints open? Absolute drip

[concernedcitizen]

“Bounce Back Better”... Why do I get the feeling that this was the whole purpose of this video - to wheedle in an inconspicuous variant of the WEF’s evil mantra.
