'It's staggering that such a large proportion of men and women find themselves worrying about their weight every day.

'And it's worrying that as many as 80 per cent are actually depressed by the appearance of their bodies.'

She has faced criticism in the past from people over her weight gain.

The most offensive comments Claire was subjected to included: 'Claire looks like she's eaten the rest of Steps' and 'Stop shoving pasties in your gob'.

She's known for her attention-seeking ways and often 'just happens' to be spotted in a bikini by paps.
And yesterday afternoon was no different for Imogen Thomas as she suggestively licked an ice lolly while showing off her curves in a string bikini.

And to garner even more looks she sat on a park bench in the sun with a friend as she toyed with the lolly in her mouth.[related]

I suppose it's different when you are insulting a British Sporting Hero - string 'em up, flog 'em.

Anyone else, well that's just "banter" isn't it? Or freedom of speech.

What happens next is too graphic to show on a family website, but stills of the recording reveal a pile of corpses where the men had knelt.

The Olympic Nazi: Repulsive Lithuanian fan directs offensive gesture at black stewards during basketball match

The mail complains about insulting black people.....

nd that makes me suspicious. What is this strange cult? In the end, the Olympics is nothing more than a large athletics meeting.

Before Hitler and Dr Goebbels made it into a torch-lit and grandiose spectacle, you could be in the same city as the Games and barely notice.

Are we really that interested? And if we are, are we interested for good reasons?

Personally, I find it very odd that large crowds have turned out in the street to see a glorified pilot light carried about in a large cheese-grater.

Even odder is the fact that there has been no fuss at all about the appalling treatment of a boy on a bicycle who had the temerity to ride alongside the procession in Haverhill, Suffolk, on Saturday, July 7.

It is hard to see from the film, but he looks about 12 to me. As he comes level with the portly torch-bearer, he is seized by a baseball-capped ‘Torch Guard’, spun round, clasped by the neck, thrown to the ground, almost in front of a moving car in the procession, which visibly brakes hard, pinned down on the road and finally hustled on to the pavement. You’d think he’d tried to assassinate the Monarch, not ridden his bike too close to the Goebbels flame.

I can’t see much difference between the behaviour of the ‘Torch Guard’ and that of the menacing Chinese goons we all disliked so much four years ago when they escorted Dr Goebbels’s candle round the world.
