Jaw-dropping

Fascist? Us? Never!

Down in Brighton for Labour Party Conference one thing that was noticeable was the large amounts of alcohol consumed over the weekend - and not just by the conference delegates.

Most people are responsible users and are able to have a few drinks and enjoy themselves without causing damage to either others or the local environment.

However, not all drinkers and users of other substances are able to handle their use of booze in such a responsible manner. At weekends, most A&E departments house those suffering from alcohol poisoning, assaults and drink related accidents. It takes much needed resources from the NHS which could be used for other purposes.

Prohibition of alcohol, like any other drug, does not work. It was tried in the 1920s in the US and resulted in making the likes of Al Capone rich men.

One possible solution could be an entitlement card that people would carry and swipe when every time they buy Alcohol or Tobacco and record their usage. Is that too radical? I don't think so. For a long time the Government have controlled motorists with a system of licences where people enjoy the right and freedom to drive - as long as they conform to certain rules.

With the card, people who got into trouble for, say, minor crimes or drunk and disorderly conduct in public would receive a fixed penalty notice and 3 points on their entitlement card with points disappearing over time for in the same way works on driving licences.

More serious offences would result in endorsements on the entitlement card and the cardholder would not be able to purchase alcohol, tobacco or other drugs available for sale through the entitlement card scheme.

The main benefits of the policy would be reduction in the health care and crime costs associated with use of substances hopefully leading for more better functioning society.
Holy fucking fuck! What? The? Fuck? Huh? Jesus fuck, did this cunt really just suggest that we need state sanction to buy a beer or a fag? And punishing us for damaging ourselves?

Fucking WHAT? WHAT? AAARGH! I think my brain is trying to leap out of my skull and strangle this fucking little fascist cunt weasel. I'm fairly certain this cocksucker is nasty little middle-class Guardianista who secretly wanks over the Daily Mail.

That, my friends, is the Labour Party, the party that looks after the common man. Because clearly, the common man cannot be trusted to look after himself.

Tip of the clown wig and a dropped jaw to Old Holborn. I'm certainly not linking to such egregious fascism myself.

What annoys me more than this guy are the hordes of dumb drunks who pollute our streets every weekend night, wrecking the place and starting fights.

I'm not fucking surprised. What an odious little turd.

And what precisely the fuck has tobacco got to do with alcohol consumption, other than the fact that if you do go out for a drink you smoke less because of the smoking ban?
Other drugs?
What other fucking drugs?
What an utter utter retarded fucking jizzdribbling cuntsack.

How can you guys slag off somebody who's "committed to social justice and tackling child poverty."???

Cunts.

"leading for more better functioning society"

Ahh, the product of a socialist education.

Strangely enough Anon @ 11:51, there are laws in place to deal with this. It's rather typical socialist thinking that if you can't implement a law, make up another one.

In this case, shoving the burden onto Tesco won't actually help you avoid getting brained in the centre of Middlesborough on a Saturday night.

You've only got to lay eyes on the "crazy" tie the prick is sporting in his profile pic on that link OH supplied to know that he should be strangled with it.

I don't swear on my blog so it's very refreshing to be able to say this:

I hope I never meet the cunt, I wouldn't be able to restrain myself.

I wonder though who's fault that would be? There ought to be a law...

So he doesn't want prohibition because it lets criminals make a profit, but he thinks that applying prohibition individually once you reach your arbitrarily-defined limit won't have exactly the same effect?

Fire up the stills, boys, it's moonshine time again.

FM, this idea of rationing alcohol popped into my head a couple of years ago. I mentioned it to a friend who thought that would never come as it would be a "step too far".

Well peeps, it is now entirely feasible. The technology is there and I wouldn't be surprised if the next Govt. at least flags up the idea with the help of "WE'VE HAD ENOUGH OF BOOZY BRITAIN" style headlines in the Mail etc.

Now I'm no Right Libertarian and I suspect the cost of setting up swipe card terminals in every pub in the land and the sheer unpopularity of it with, well, just about everyone outside of the medical profession and AA means it'll never get off the ground.

But as a punter who enjoys a 'naughty few' of a Saturday evening it does give me pause for thought...

More like Johnthedeludedcunt. How is it that people like this are not laughed at until they break down and cry?

There is one thing we must never forget:

These Enemy-Class .... thingies ... have taken over, corrupted to their purpose and turned into an instrument of deliberate and directed evil and wickedness, a British Political Party.

They did this on purpose. The purpose was to bring about the anihiliation of everything, and I mean everything worthwhile and beneficial to individual humans, that has been achieved since the dawn of the age when knowledge might reasonably and easily be shared.

They are incensed to the point of vitriolic boiling piss, that such things as the internet exist, for example, in the form that it does. It would be OK by them if such a thing had come into existence for them and not us. But to allow precious things to be freely available to everyone is anathema. Therefore it must be "regulated" and we all know what this means.

As to drink:
Everyone knows that in the not too distant future we shall all have to beg, buy, borrow or steal equipment with which to make alcoholic beverages, without telling the State. As indeed they have been made for most of the last 12,000 years (rough est) in which the State has only intruded in the last, say, 200 years or so seriously, via "customs duties" and the like. Everyone who reads this should be ordering their supplies of thermometers, retorts, quikfit glassware (see ebay which is much cheaper than primary lab suppliers, or else go to a university near you and trawl the skip outside what ised to be the chemistry department.) And of course chemicals, some of which are needed to make the yeast work properly in large volumes and which will soon become illegal to possess, such as ammonium phosphate...I made that one up, for you can even eat it - it's just to see if State-Gooks are listening in. You used to be able to buy it at Boots in their winemaking section in the early 80s in 2-ounce pots...I don't have any, but if I get raided I will tell you from a cybercafe near here. They'll probably think it's an explosive or something.)

No. Slaves, which is what they say we are or ought to be, ought not to have any alcohol. Firstly, it's fun to drink as you feel nice and happy for a time, and we don't deserve that for we are scum. Secondly, men who drink any can't then shag their State-alloted Harriet-Harmanderers so as to produce enough pretty and shaggable children for the Enemy Class to seize...for their own purposes, whatever those may be.

Alcohol for "the people" will have to go, by order of the "people's representatives".

@Anonymous 1356. When I said it "popped into my head" I didn't mean as in "'ere, this sounds like a good idea". I meant it as a warning.

As for popping your dick into my head, well you can always try but with a dick as tiny as yours I probably wouldn't feel a thing.

You Dozy Cunt.

But on the bright side, all those billy no-mate teetotallers would suddenly have loads of mates wanting to use their allowance. Although, one would imagine that the penalties for passing on your allowance would be severe indeed.

Did he write that little blurb about himself on the Labour website? The man is practically illiterate.
