  You might have seen the story on the news today, Scotland are banning cheap booze. no more 3 for 2 offfers in the supermarkets, no more price fixing, no more bogofs. They are sick to death picking up the pieces for irresponsible drinkers, for trying to fix the hooliganism associated with it, and for picking up the tabs on the hospital bills for everything on failing livers to saturday night punch-ups and stabbings. Of course Scotland have the worst boozing problems in europe.
  
  However why should we all pay for the moronic few. The legislation hasnt reached England yet but anytime soon its coming your way. But here we are...its the Presbyterian thinking that we are all damned to hellfire and worse if we have a glass of the amber nectar or the pinot grigio.
  The baby goes out with the bathwater with any legislation like this. Everyone gets penalised. There must be a better way.
  
  Once again politicians show a remarkable lack of imagination when it comes to things like this. Its like those Knife Amnesty things...when everyone hands in a knife to the local nick, can you ever have come across anything so pointless!!?
  
  We're in similar territory with this new deal. All it will mean is your saturday night bottle of wine will cost you more and will they cure anything...no not at all. Dim thinking.
