Cigs Booze Sugar

[oldtimerdiscopants]

Yeah true but a lot more than they were.

How much were they? Are they putting the price of good stuff up for the same reason as we are?

Half the price. 100% tax went on unannounced 1st January.

So everything has doubled. Bottle of fucking Baileys now £104

You'd have to be paid in gold bars to afford that, it's enough to make you go dry mate.

The sugar tax is not done out of concern for people as a main priority. It’s done to reduce the costs to the health service as more people become fat diabetic cunts who cost a fortune to treat because they are greedy fat cunts.

It’s also true that poorer families tend to be less likely to cook nutritious meals and rely on processed shite. The argument that you can’t cook or eat healthily on a lower budget is false.

If people don’t give a fuck about what they feed their kids and allow them to become sick, then intervention is required to reduce the cost of that by making it more expensive.

The NHS cannot afford to spend the massive amounts on this issue, which is set to increase exponentially. People have the right to eat what they want but the country cannot afford to pick up the tab. Days lost due to illness caused by being a porker is incredible.

Would it be better not to have to impose taxes? Yes it would, but if people insist on saying fucknyou then expect medical help because they hate a nanny state, then fuck them.

Funny how they don’t complain that the country provides health care wether they want it or not.

People need told that this tax helps fund their treatment because they are lazy fat cunts, who poison their kids and expect everyone else tonsort it.

Zero sympathy.

Fags the same deal.

Bags the same deal. They are clogging up the oceans.

People should take responsibility and if they don’t they get taxed and told to sort themselves out.

Cunts. :)

Alcohol also the same deal presumably?

When you see a stream of schoolkids on the drive to work chugging down can's of Monster or Redbull you know the health of the country is a ticking time bomb. If we don't do something soon, type 2 diabetes will become the new normal.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

There should be a smile and laughter tax, too.

Honestly, a lot would be shocked at the amount of children that have these drinks for their breakfast in primary schools, or try bring them in for their packed lunches.

Agree with a lot of this, we make a Vegetable brothy thing once a week with some fresh crusty bread, its dead cheap to make using in season veggies and fucking delicious, much cheaper than the shit they have in Supermarket freezers or Pizza or MacDonalds.
Our kids grew up eating stuff like this.....Its just being bothered

 

[Mayor West]

Don't drink and don't smoke so it never bothered me. However I do like my sugar, sugar tax basically punishes everyone on behalf of those who can't control themselves.

Absolutely. That’s why I supported the alcohol tax up here.
