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!

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.
