Minister Meets Buckfast Company

Rants October 30th, 2006

When I was a lad I was told that when I was in a hole - stop digging!!

Our esteemed Health Minister has proved that he never learned this lesson. He’s got it into his head that poor old Buckfast is “seriously bad” and took the time (and expense) to have a pointless meeting with the distributors of this noble drink to express his concern.

No doubt a fine lunch was had and no doubt the poor representative(s) of the company were wondering what the fuck they were there for!

As seen by consumers

What is this moron trying to prove? He seems to think that if we remove Buckfast from the shelves then all the drunken neds will suddenly see the light and sign the pledge. What a fucking joke! I won’t bother supplying a list of the alternatives (Who will all thank him for boosting their sales).

Apart from anything else this pish is only consumed in a very small area of West Central Scotland so it’s hardly a national problem worthy of the intervention of the Health Minister.

When, oh when will these idiots realise that products don’t cause problems - the people who use them do!

Deal with the fucking problem!

If there are hordes of drunken neds causing trouble then get the police off their fat arses and fucking arrest them. And then use the power we gave you to make sure that they get a meaningful punishment when we drag them before the courts.

Made by Monks, Drunk by Punks

Rants September 27th, 2006

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!

Pish anyone?

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.
