The only breast surgery that should be allowed on the NHS are reductions (breasts that are so large they cause physical problems such as back pain and skin irritations etc), and reconstructions after cancer. I don't care how anorexic a woman is, giving her a boob job paid for by our taxes, is WRONG and not the answer to her problem, and does not address what's really feeding this issue. Any breast surgery on the NHS, other than reductions and cancer reconstructs are WRONG!
I'm afraid 26000 was the figure quoted in the news article - if the NHS is funding ANY of these, we have a serious fight on our hands, as rather than try to deal with what is feeding this new wave of women's body-image issue (it's not just about anorexia or bulimia anymore), such as the high visibility of breast-implanted women in pics, on the internet, on mag covers, and in Big Brother, the doctors choose to bury their heads in the sand, have the pressure that's been put on women then pushed on to the doctor, to stuff silicone into the "deformed, deficient" breasts. This is really serious - women are putting themselves under more financial pressure (on top of the psychological pressure), trying to pay for an increasingly impossible body standard, and if the NHS is funding some of this, they have a serious problem, as the pressure and demand is going to be much much worse soon.
As far as one of the BB constestants having hers paid for on the NHS, if you are referring to nikki, I think I overheard her in a conversation with Aislene, comparing implant stories, that they both said they paid about £4000. It's obvious nikki has anorexia and food issues, she's always exercising, always eating, and always complaining about being cold - she has no body fat and although not emaciated, her implants look like grapefruit halves sometimes, and this will only get worse over time - so off to the doc for another operation, potentially paid for by guess who - the taxpayers. Her family have loads of money so if they are abusing the NHS like this they should be fined and made to give the money back for someone who really needs it - but then they need all the money they can get, apparently, for keeping her warm and her gym membership.
As for "lady" susie - she had to turn to stripping to get the money to pay for a 2nd boob job, as the first one went wrong - one higher than the other - but no one ever seems to mention this dirty little fact about her past (oh, oops, I forgot, we are supposed to think stripping is empowering and enlightened,not dirty - my mistake) - but she now has a millionaire hubby to pay to keep her in "barbie" condition - she's always infuriatingly fiddling with her hair - 2 reasons for this, the first (my theory only - not sure about this) is that she has had a face-lift and likes to keep her hair hiding scars, 2nd reason, she is so conscious of the camera on her and has to always have her hair looking just-so. She also really works that collagen implanted pout doesn't she? She is headed for one big crisis when her age really catches up with her, as are all surgery addicts, as there's only so much surgery can address. (look at the jackson family).
Isn't it ironic that the work and the industries that these boob job obsessives need to get into to get the money for the surgery, are the very things that put the pressure on women to have this surgery? Duh.
As I have said before in here, it is believed that many BB contestants (female) are assessed for their porn potential before being chosen, and many, who have borderline boob issues before going in, tip over into going for the surgery after coming out - they are offered modelling jobs for the lad's mags, cuz all the guys wanna see 'em naked, preferably with bigger tits. One theory is that BB and the lad's mags have a symbiotic relationship going on behind the scenes. Some of the "promo" girl contestants (hookers, trust me) have already had pics done before going into the house, and the ones that haven't, get published after they come out (of course, having had the obligatory enlargement).
As for M-cup Lea, she should just shut up when she starts her whining and crying about how people "booed" her when she went into the house, and how much grief she gets - well what does she expect having made herself look like she does? She's a disgrace to herself and to other women. As for her claims that she is a "nice" person, she's a "real" person (what?) and sets herself up as being so misunderstood - bollox - anyone who does that to herself and allows her image to be exposed for weeks on national tv, especially knowing that it will be seen by impressionable, little girls, whose minds are already poisoned by people like jordan, is NOT a nice person, and she is certainly not "real". What's "real" is her delusion and her fake manipulating insecurity. She has set up the situation, then whines when people express their disapproval - she should just shut up with her complaining - if I saw her in the street, I'd boo her, no probs.
