MLAs checking their waistlines

IF there seems to be an unusual number of MLAs down at your local gym, it may because of a recent evidence session at the Health Committee.

Sport NI said that 60 per cent of adults here were obese. We have 108 MLAs. Based on the evidence then there is well over 60 chubby Assembly members.

That is, of course, if statistically our MLAs were a representative sample of Northern Ireland’s population. Next time you log on to coverage of the Assembly, or see a politician, try and guess if he or she is one of the chubsters.
