Let's try ...What planet to these morons inhabit? <br /><br />Let's try another unintended consequence that the minister points out in his wibble, he said visitors to a distillery buy a bottle of whisky to "increase understanding of the skill that goes into producing fine premium drinks". How can they increase their understanding without comparing the product they have bought to other products? <br /><br />In order to compare and contrast (the only way to assess the skill of one maker over another) they must buy yet more of the evil brown liquid. And one can only appreciate the skill of producers of "fine premium drinks" by comparing them to cheap cruddy mouthwash whiskies, so they have to be bought too. <br /><br />Picture the scene. Friends sit down over a bottle of Glen Scrotum single malt and on the first sip being taken conversation revolves around nothing other than the skill of the producer. Where in buggery does he think this is going to happen? <br /><br />It's just lies, lies and more lies.TheFatBigothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17255526385076528633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-57893360442789946572009-05-20T22:26:54.559+01:002009-05-20T22:26:54.559+01:00Good find.

I love the reference to 'unintended consequences'. <br /><br />That's what government is all about, legislating on the hoof and then legislating a bit more to deal with the unintended consequences.Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-64405712406839393312009-05-20T18:35:17.958+01:002009-05-20T18:35:17.958+01:00Chalcedon.

Although price fixing is illegal for companies to agree upon, I am wondering if there is something in the small print or some legal loophole whereby the governments can do this. Lets face it, they haven't exactly been working to the rules anyway, more making it up as they go along. I'd love to see them try to fix the price and subsequent excuses and loopholes that go along with this, given that the EU are the biggest killjoys ever they would probably help them find a way to do this. Still, there would be a lot of pissed off companys out there if they were to get away with it.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969767902477233674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-78976220249786586222009-05-20T12:48:52.789+01:002009-05-20T12:48:52.789+01:00Those idiots in Scotland must realise minimum pric...Those idiots in Scotland must realise minimum pricing is simply illegal under EU rules regarding competition. price fixing is illegal. There can be no set minimum price for a can of lager, bottle of wine or bottle of whisky.
