I think you might find a lot of them do cash in hand work, I don’t think they have contributed as much as you think.

The tax is added directly on the booze and fags so they pay it, no matter if they get cash in hand or not?

Saw you make your debut, terrific player. I know where I live and who I pay my council tax to, but I don’t have to like it do I?

And we already close individual nightclubs and pubs when they present a social problem or a health and safety hazard.

Really, and how do they pay for the cigarettes with an 70% tax rate on it? Do they not pay for it with money?

Cannot imagine any political party would support such legislation, so it would never get through Parliament, and even if it somehow did, you could hardly backdate it to cover the pandemic's effects. The courts would then just be further clogged up with the government chasing unpaid bills, a cost that in turn would be borne by the public.

Yeah because smokers obese and drinkers have the potential to bring the NHS to its knees over the space of a week or two. Ridiculous answer mate.

They bring the NHS to its knees on a daily basis. Get rid of those patients and we truly would save the NHS. However as I'm not a fascist I agree it is ridiculous - as is the suggestion of charging for or stopping treatment of the unvaccinated idiots.

Yes, if you also charge smokers, the obese, and drinkers.

Devils advocate.

we do. Cigs and booze have large Duty’s on them that help fund the NHS.

people unvaccinated have already rejected a preventative solution to the issue. Should the NHS foot the bill for more expensive solutions when individuals have rejected what is available?

alcoholic’s get offered help but won’t be given a liver transplant unless they prove the are over the drinking.

the obese are offered diets but won’t be give some treatments unless they lose weight.
Etc etc.

So fascism is now making people pay for something they could in all likelihood have avoided paying for. Who would have thought it? Silly statement.

What if they don’t smoke?

Like I said before the smokers drinkers and obese pay far more in tax to fund the NHS than a normal person. It's all plannable numbers whereas covid infections is an instant effect that cripples straightaway

Then they don't need treatment for smoking. Lol a proper palm on face answer that
