This scares me

In England, a very obese man has been carted off by police because he is very obese. They brought him to a mental hospital against his will. He has a rare disease where his stomach never feels full. He had started exercising and dieting when the police took him - the British nanny state can't bear to let someone try to make things better for himself.

Remember how the Soviet Union would force political enemies into mental hospitals? Can the United Kingdom be far behind?
