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?

BBC NEWS | Health | Police back call for alcohol tax

If ever you needed proof that the odious Andy Kerr, our esteemed “Health” Minister, is a total prat then this is it.
He’s been having a rant about Buckfast, that delicious beverage made by monks in Devon and drunk by fucking idiots in West/Central Scotland. I say West/Central because it’s consumption is pretty well limited to the neds that live there. I used to love it when I worked in Oddbins in Aberdeen on big match days - the poor souls coming up for matches just couldn’t understand why they couldn’t buy their beloved “Buckie” anywhere in the City!

“There’s something different about that drink,” says Mr Kerr, calling it “seriously bad”. Of course, he’s not the first politician to have it in for the old Broon Sauce - Cathie Jamieson, so called “Justice” Minister, has previously called for it to be banned.

So we’re back to banning things as a solution to a problem. It’s not the fucking drink that’s the problem you fucking twats it’s the morons who drink it! So you ban Buckfast and suddenly every ned in Scotland signs the pledge…aye, right! How about getting the Polis off their big fat arses and actually do something useful - like arresting the greedy little corner shop owners who sell this pish to kids.

Perhaps you should ban finest Malt Whisky as well as it seems to turn some of your colleagues into arsonists.

God, this lot of comic singers really make my blood boil.

OK I’m seething, I’m mad as hell!

The latest piece of interfering, nanny-state shite proposed by Andy Kerr MSP is to introduce legislation limiting the number of drinks you can buy at a single sitting to four - four for fuck’s sake!

He’s also proposing to raise the legal age for drinking to 21.

Where do we find these fuck-wits? And how do they persuade people to vote for them?

1. This will have NO effect on binge drinking other than pushing the problem into the home. People will simply get pissed before they go out - or is he proposing to stop all off-sales of alcohol?
2. I was getting regularly pissed at 16 so how does changing the age make any difference?
3. How on earth do you enforce this? Do we all have to have a stamp on the back of our hands to indicate each drink we have?
4. You can bet your life that the rule will not apply in posh bars and hotels but only to those poor souls in need of saving from themselves.

We’re obviously not keeping these leeches busy enough.

Apparently he got this idea from the US where it has been implemented in some states. No doubt this will require a trip over the water to “consult” the fucking idiots there about how they implemented this innovative piece of legislation. I can see them queueing up now for the flight.

So if ever there was a reason to vote these twats out in 2007 here it is - PLEASE don’t make the same mistake again by voting for this discredited bunch of morons.
