Err ... What's It Got To Do With YOU?


I'm racking my brains here, trying to work out exactly how many English voters put an X next to the name of Chief Scottish Health nose-poker, Nicola Sturgeon.

We are currently trying to persuade the Westminster Government to take action on the advertising of alcohol. So far, the Westminster Government has not proved too willing to do that, but we will continue to seek to persuade it.

Sorry Nicola, we are already well supplied with interfering jock busybodies, ta. Hell's molars, someone rebuild that fucking wall.

And hasn't she got this all to cock?

Notwithstanding that disagreement, I think that he has a point about the need to ensure that, as well as cutting consumption across the population, we target the problem of hazardous drinkers.

So, targeting those who drink to excess (where the BMA classes a heavy drinker as someone consuming three pints, twice a week, by the way) is now a secondary issue to cutting consumption in the vast majority of those who don't. Interesting.

What's the Scottish slang for 'none of your fucking business'?
