Morrissey on Paul O' Grady show

Right Now thre is a picture of our Morrissey on Paul O'gradys desk, his guest is Jo Brand who has just wrote a book loosley based on morrissey
 
Jo Brand irritates me. She's the Uncle Tom of fat people. Still, it's nice that she loves Moz. I wonder what he thinks of her book.
 
What's wrong with fat people? I like big women:o

Nothing! I'm a fatty. I say she's a fat Uncle Tom... Meaning that she puts down her fatness and makes fun of fatness in herself and others. It really bugs me. She acts like fat is inherently ugly and I really don't see it that way at all. In fact, I seem to be something of a chubby chaser because I notice that the more Morrissey and my husband weigh, the cuter I think they are. ... But now I'm babbling.

I don't mind a fat joke if it's not malicious and if it doesn't assume negative things about the fat person in question, but the way she does it bolsters a lot of false stereotypes.
