What is it about this fucking country??

It seems that the universal problem solving tool kit consists of banning or taxing things!

So, the oiks are getting above themselves because they’re far too well off and can afford to get pissed.

We all know that this, of course, should be reserved for the rich…

…judges, politicians etc. How dare ordinary people spend their money in this way.

Yet again the NannyNazis have a solution…

…just make booze so expensive that Joe Average can’t afford it and - Hey Presto - we’ve solved the problems caused by alcohol abuse at a stroke.

Oh, and the rich can carry on pissing it up as before as an increase in tax won’t bother them - the wine cellar contents are probably a tax write-off anyway.

Do we really vote for these people?

Are our Police now so completely Politically Correct that they can’t see the obvious folly of this kind of rubbish?

Alcohol is cheaper in virtually every other country in the world and yet they don’t seem to have any more problems than we do…

…so shouldn’t we be looking for other reasons for the high incidence of liver disease and domestic violence caused by alcohol abuse in our fair land?
