Your going to have to offer more that pejorative language to argue for it while the snp are in power. There's "growing" and there is sitting on your phone with a biscuit barrel between your "growing" thighs all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland is indeed a nation of lifelong learning, for those who can be arsed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was responsible for setting up the computing and data storage infrastructure for this project. As I mentioned on another thread it’s important to understand and clarify your sources of information (or misinformation). The last sentence sums it up…. I wish the Daily Mail and the Sun would both go to “sleep” permanently. And I was the CDM co-ordinator on a small project at the Beatson, it doesn't mean I helped treat cancer. The guy in charge of the Beatson previously had been in my class at St Mirin's, maybe I can claim to have been a person of influence there?

My only hope is that enough people stand up and say enough is enough and convince their representatives to vote against this ridiculous policy which has never worked. What is required is education. Spain, France and countries prove that price is not the driving factor. This policy is just playing to the anti alcohol brigade, mainly in the green party, who basically want alcohol to be outlawed.

I'd ban the stuff altogether, Prohibition is what we need, I've got loads of unused empty containers gathering dust since you right wing assholes took us out the E.U. I could turn them into Moonshine factories and speakeasies providing cheap drink for everyone, while supporting independence with my ill gotten gains.

What about the research in Scotland that says there have been 13% fewer alcohol related deaths that have been attributed to this policy? I'm never happy to pay more for stuff but I can say that I am far less likely to buy in stashes of alcohol than I was before the hike and as a consequence i do drink less now. The only thing wrong with this policy is that the retailers get to keep the difference when it should be used to support public services or drug and alcohol abuse mitigations. I should add, I can't find any evidence of the Greens wanting to ban alcohol, so, source? Edited February 9 by beyond our ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This policy has failed. The SNP policy appears to be along the lines of…. “Don’t back down - double down!” I would hazard a guess it will be a treble or quadruple measure.

Albanian Buddy Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 Given the outgoing SNP health minister tried to cheat the taxpayer of £11K I don’t trust a word out of the mouths of these politicians. The SNP have lost a great deal of trust with the people who believed in independence. By the way @faraway saint what’s wee Nics motorhome like now you’ve had it a while?

stlucifer Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 (edited) I will never go for another party in a Uk election because I believe in an independent Scotland UNLESS I think ALBA could win in the area i live. This is NOT about the SNP. It's about why they were formed. I hope to convince any who are being duped by all the unionist, nonsensical media coverage not to be fooled into voting for red Tories who are paying lip service to Scotland to steal their votes before ignoring their wishes. SNP is the only vote that gets us to where we need to be. THEN we can consider getting rid of the SNP.

I concur, hubris sets in and they become completely obsessed with self preservation. That’s why we have democratic elections every four years.
