We’ve had nutty Professors for years. Now it appears we’ve got nutty Docs
Tax on alcohol sold in supermarkets should be increased, while it should be reduced on drinks sold in pubs to help save lives and help struggling publicans, a leading liver doctor has said, as reported by the Telegraph’s Rebecca Smith today. Where on earth does this quack go on weekend evenings? Standing outside Sainsburys, Tesco, Morrisons, Waitrose and ASDA, waiting for the binge drinkers stagger out into the car park?
Methinks the majority of these miscreants are in the City Centre No-Go Hotspots, out-boozing each other to prove a point or just plain irresponsible when it comes to a night on the town. So if I like a quiet drink at home of an evening watching telly, I’m some kind of raving alcoholic freak, who needs to be taxed out of existence. Wasn’t it enough? That the last government set out turn genuine law-abiding subjects of Her Majesty, into reckless criminals they could tax and fine to the hilt. If they transgressed, in seemingly innocuous, petty, minded infringements of their dictat.
Haven’t we had enough of this kind of twisted mentality, to last a few zillion life times. These batty idealists want locking up for a bit, till they come to their senses or maybe it will suit them to be institutionalised with a host of like minded zealots. Those who seemingly can’t see any further than the end of their nose and whose judgement is clouded by the thought of fame seeking statements, which should rain down eternal damnation on their heads. Rather than provide provocative headlines, for reporters who should know better.
Watch this space, I’ll be back!
