if they kept the drugs at there own houses instead of dumping them on other peoples property it wouldn't bother me

we keep ourselves to ourselves and don't ask for any trouble
the only trouble we get is like i said the druggies

This is simply a part of the current control freak nanny state.

Write to your mps, especially if they are government and risky seat.

[STMO123]

Quite right! Booze should be banned. And fags. And big, gas guzzling cars.




















Then the government would go bust altogether.

[Nickbat]

while reading catch this

"Goddxmn it, at least the proper communists had the balls to launch a violent revolution"  

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

The government's top medical adviser has drawn up plans for a minimum price for alcohol which would double the cost of some drinks in England.

Under the proposal from Sir Liam Donaldson, it has been reported that no drinks could be sold for less than 50 pence per unit of alcohol they contain.

Revolution anyone?

 

I'am very much against this draconian measure.

If the price of booze is to double in price overnight..............who has all the extra profit..............does anyone know?...........Would it be the Supermarkets.......or the alcohol manufacturers..........or would it all be paid direct to the government in the form of more taxation. :-/ :-/

 

[Nickbat]

..and they want to make sure we eat according to their wishes, too...

more pubs closing
supermarkets selling less which cuts production at brewery
more tax thought to go into tax system but probably less due to less being sold
result is loads of booze cruises and loads more jobs available in customs and excise

biggest loser is working class
the wealthy spend lots of money on fancy IMPORTRED wines anyway

[sir moanalot]

its not a health thing its a double bubble for the government. firstly theres more tax to be had on higher costing booze coz people will still find the money and secondly if you cannot drink quite as much then you may be less reliable on the nhs. no lose situation.
me, im not a smoker and only drink once in a blue moon so it aint gonna affect me too much but the regulars wont be staying in the pub that long.................

Our area is nice apart from Friday evenings when there are often gangs of youths walking about making loads of noise and carrying alcohol. They are way, way under age for drinking (15/16 years if that). Rest of the week is nice and peaceful.

They brought in 24 hour opening for pubs and said this would greatly reduce the binge culture,it was actually more likely that it was a thankyou to big brewers for donations.
Now they appear to be suddenly speeding off in almost the opposite direction,more of the promised "joined up government"?
TBH,something needs to be done in our society to stop youngsters in particular drinking themselves almost senseless and then in quite a few cases,beating and kicking each other completely senseless.
I very much doubt that putting the price of booze up is the answer though,imo the problems run much too deep to have a solution as simple as this.
