Goldacre you evil bastard, Gillian McKeith is feeling bullied.

Now it may be ludicrously obvious to point out the irony here but, well, ludicrous obviousness is pretty much my stock in trade, so fuck it.

This is a woman who goes on TV and makes “an obese woman cry, in her own back garden, by showing her a tombstone with her own name on it, made out of chocolate”, who said to another “‘Do you want to see your daughter get married and have babies? Because the way things are going you’ll have a heart attack at 40″.

She’s made a career out of making fat people cry, so just let the satisfaction flow:

“I feel like I’m being bullied,” the 46-year-old told Closer magazine. “You’d think I was trying to perform brain surgery. I’ve never tried to pretend I’m medically qualified [ahahahahahahahahaha!]- I’m entitled to use ‘Dr’ because I have a PhD in Holistic Nutrition, which I studied for four years to get.”

Ahhhhhh.
