Illustrating the left's contempt for the public and freedom of choice, his recommendations include graded prohibition of tobacco, graphic health warnings for fizzy drinks, adding 20% to the price of sugar, and this quite remarkable idea.
5. Anyone selling more than a lethal dose of alcohol to a customer must notify the NHS of the sale and the customer’s name and address. The idea is to make selling alcohol a bureaucratic chore, so retailers could be required to weigh customers in order to calculate their lethal dose.And, do you know, I think he's serious. Yes, Martin believes that if you wish to buy a bottle of vodka, Sainsbury's should weigh you to calculate if it may represent a 'lethal dose' and then inform an NHS monitoring department.
Quite what purpose this would serve except to interfere in freedom for the sake of it, I just cannot fathom. But I suppose the main thing to remember is that Martin knows what's best for you and it's important that he - and his Labour chums - are allowed to make life as unbearable as possible until you comply with their demands.
You can read, err, Comrade Martin's other nine gems of genius here.

We are well and truly down the rabbit hole. All this guy needs now is a top hat with a 10/6d price tag tucked in the band.
I was rather surprised he wasn't wearing white socks to set off his rather fetching sandals. Dear God, "Socialist Health Association". Bring out the garlic and silver crucifixes, I think we're going to need them...
So they admit that pure bureacracy harms business, then, in and of itself, regardless of the financial costs of taxation? Interesting...
Not that it'll make a blind bit of difference. They've been telling us for years that mandatory minimum pricing of alcohol will affect sales while swearing blind that mandatory minimum pricing of labour doesn't. Although you wouldn't know it to look at them, being a socialist must be a lot of fun: if reality doesn't suit you, you can just make up a new one.
Never in our modern history have we been ruled by people who are so hypocritical. It's getting as bad as the USSR in 1962.
Drinking alcohol is really bad for you and should be made incredibly expensive and difficult to obtain.
Unless you have a pass to the bars in the Palace of Westminster, where we pay the bars to make the alcohol cheaper for the politicians and their hangers on. It's very easy to obtain, even to excess, even until MPs start a brawl.
Most food is really bad for you and should be banned. Except at the Palace of Westminster, where the menus are changed daily and have a full complement of rich food and sugary desserts. Once more, you and I have to reach for our wallets to make this cheaper for the nobs, even though they get a daily subsistence allowance in addition to subsidised food.
Smoking? Well really, you must be a criminal if you smoke outdoors within 30 yards of something that might come into contact with a human being.
Except of course, in...
Look at the guy. Come on. A blopped-up little dishrag of a man who couldn't command the attention of a flea. It's his job to tell everybody how to live.
See what's wrong?
Can I be the first to say that he looks like a right fucking twat.
Ah, Mr. DP and your other commenters, you have failed to recognise the unique quality of Martin Rathfelder.
I commend to you, sir, that he has achieved stardom already in a field crammed with contenders. Martin Rathfelder really is the ultimate arsehole.
I'll admit to admiring his world class pomposity.
Lets get real about this stunted bolshy gargoyle,he (or it) is not alone in the
diabolical coven of the London Bubble,a perfumed sewer of freaks,creeps,fellow travellers,paedophiles,healthpros,carpetbaggers,degenerates,apologists,
back stabbers ,traitors and associated neurotics.
The confines of civilised society should not apply to these Homos Bubonis
these plague infested carriers of despair and misery,these Harpies of sorrow and moral decline. Our species has to treat them, as we would treat the TseTse fly or Mosquito
Ps
Who would let their children near this bloated Gremlin.
The Free North
The answer is to patronise M LeClerk's in Calais - who, I'm sure, will be rubbing their hands with glee.
FYI Martin lives in the North
Indeed. In Manchester, in fact. Do you know him, TFC? ;)
"It's very hard to pin them down, isn't it?" Unlike insults masquerading as argument presumably? The latter is certainly consistent. It could be that different people on the left think different things.
Could be, yes. Except that Sam's examples are current views of the parliamentary Labour Party front bench.
Hey, I'm from Manchester. Anyone want me to blow some second hand smoke his way, causing him to have a psychosomatic and possibly fatal asthma attack?
Just a thought...
In more sane times, he would have been bundled off to a sanitorium and forcibly medicated. Nowadays, he is has a Shadow Health Minister's ear.
Miliband's next minister for public health?
