Another waste of our money

Rather than deal with the mindless minority who turn our streets into war zones every weekend this incompetent government put up taxes on alcohol instead in an effort to curb alcohol abuse.

Then rather than insist that every pub has a smoking and a no smoking area they decided to treat smokers like children and force them outside into the rain and cold to smoke something they can quite legally buy in any garage, supermarket, newsdagent and most pubs.

The result, as anyone with any common sense could have predicted, is a huge loss of trade for pubs, 75,000 people in the pub industry out of work and pubs closing down every day.

The clowns in Westminsters answer to this? They have set up a 1.3 billion pound fun, with our money, for pub landlords who are struggling to get loans to borrow from! And of course to create another load of paper work and to employ another load of pen pushers on state pensions all payed for by us.

Surely the most effective way of dealing with this problem would be to allow pubs to have smoking rooms inside and to lower the tax on alcohol for products sold on licenced premises?

This is just another excuse to get more people on the public pay roll and voting for Labour and just another waste of tax payers money from a corrupt, immoral, thieving bunch of scum who masquerade as a government.
