It's a shame we can't do the same with all the other bansturbators ..."<br /><br />And that makes me think. "What if", "just say", but what if the whole thing is to beat everyone up with the proverbial stick - no smoking, no drinking, no lard, no salt, no freedom whatsoever - by using the sovereign current nation-state government and its quangoes to implement it.<br /><br />Then, "what if", "just say", but what if the EU comes along and offers the proverbial carrot - saying to support the EU means the EU, once in charge of the erstwhile sovereign nation-state governments will be quick to offer carrots for everyone and eliminate the sticks?<br /><br />It could be a part of the ploy. Beat everyone with sticks using the national constitutional sovereign governments the power-that-be want to dispose of.<br /><br />Then come in with the carrot, offered for showing support of the EU - and the 9 other regional governments proposed to be part of the one-world-government all the national politicians seem aware of and are falling over one another to show support, hoping to retain some sort of government post once the new order is established.<br /><br />But that could be part of the plan, why we get the stick now (from the national governments EU wishes to get rid of), because they know they can turn 180-degrees around and offer the carrot later on (by the EU super-state they wish to place into total power to gain its support) - but only at the price-tag of supporting the new one-world regional system of government.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-88237364864675157692010-06-02T16:21:15.940+01:002010-06-02T16:21:15.940+01:00It won't be a problem.

Wine and beer making are interesting hobbies and when this topic first came up for discussion last year, I visited my local homebrew shop and found that perfectly drinkable wine, from a kit, could be made for £1.20 a bottle. I think the Government, if it agrees to these proposals, is going to regret it. Perhaps they don't realise that many people spend only £3 on a bottle of wine. An increase of £1.50 (actually, at 50p a unit, a bottle of 13% wine will cost £4.88) just won't be acceptable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-21172260629023801162010-06-02T13:52:51.248+01:002010-06-02T13:52:51.248+01:00Yeah I washed this complete utter Wingnut blabbing...Yeah I washed this complete utter Wingnut blabbing on about it on GMTV this morning , some liver specialist or something. <br />Still an utter Wingnut though.<br />I wish they'd just said, oh do please, just fuck off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-37396193630669978312010-06-02T12:20:17.771+01:002010-06-02T12:20:17.771+01:00Hi lenko,

The whole Nanny NHS approach, exemplifed by the unmissed Lardy Liam, that says someone in an office in Whitehall should have the right to decide what I eat and drink is wrong in so many ways. It will be good to see the EU kick the alco-facists into touch.

Taxation hardly ever works unless it is execessive and even then black markets or avoidance/evasion will occur to get round it. Advertising by government doesn't work either. The only time taxation does work a bit is when it is lowered as a carrot. Sticks never work.<br /><br />Society does change but this is by pressures caused by industrialisation/technology/science/etc. Eg. Industrialisation changed society from agricultural to production line and humans adapted and in the process changed. Same with technology changing the way we do things. Science has changed peoples views by showing, for instance, that skin colour is actually a minor difference compared to other genetic differences between groups. Pressure groups do their bit too, but they take a lot of time and effort to change society.SadButMadLadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17836368722377421009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-59781059742083305402010-06-01T20:45:46.635+01:002010-06-01T20:45:46.635+01:00A smorgasbord of bollocks... wonder what that woul...A smorgasbord of bollocks... wonder what that would look like?<br /><br />You're right of course. The original purpose of taxation was to provide funds for a small-ish government to pay its way, and provide essentials like, say, street lighting or schools.<br /><br />Somewhere along the line, some bloody unthinking do-gooders have hi-jacked the tax system to do a bit of social engineering. Of course, sooner or later the Law of Unintended Consequences kicks in, and then a man can't get pissed in his own home without paying through the nose.<br /><br />The road to Hell is paved with good intentions, so they say. Why don't we save all these do-gooders from going to Hell, by stringing them up now?<br /><br />Excuse me, time for my lie-down.lenkohttp://dailymoaner.comnoreply@blogger.com
