trappa 517 Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 (edited) Ive just been reading that the government is seriously thinking of putting the price of alcohol up to combat binge drinking!! Is this government on the same planet as me or what? Im paying nearly £2.50 a pint now! can it get any dearer, and if it does, how will that combat binge drinking if we can only afford to go out once a week! It doesnt make sense. What do these politicians think we will do if we cant afford to drink?? Seriously, what is joe public going to do when he cant afford a few pints, but an ectasy tablet is about £3?!? mmmmmmmmmm, i wonder. This government are really losing it with me. they ban handguns so the only people with them are the inner city hoodlums, they ban foxhunting so the fox lives happily ever after when in reality it will now be snared, shot or dug up by terriermen. Lest we forget them banning the T-bone steak "for our own good". Im thinking of taking up knitting, but if it gets popular , that will probably get banned as the needles will be too dangerous!!

trappa 517 Posted December 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 I just dont understand people who feel they must go out and pissed or stoned... not my style ... It wasnt my "style" to go foxhunting but i wasnt happy about labour banning it. Sometimes you need to look at the bigger picture. We arent all the same, but in a free country you should be able to do , within reason, what the f**k you like and not be persecuted for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

borderboy 80 Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 it's not being banned though is it? its just being made more expensive... in an aid to keep mugs from causing damage to themselves etc and ruining it for decent folk... wish they'd done that for hunting, then maybe we wouldnt be in this mess...
