British Drinking and NHS

The stupid thing about arguing that smokers and drinkers cost too much to treat is that the tax revenue from alcohol and cigarettes over here is massively more than the cost of treating those of us who abuse ourselves. Smokers and drinkers pay for the NHS many times over, that's why they don't just outright ban smoking, it'd bankrupt the government.

I think generally though, there's a big backlash growing over here against the nanny state new labour have created. Ironically, it's fucking pointless because street crime continues to rise, as does recreational drug use. The useless fucks have completely failed to address any of the real problems we have in our society at present. That's the problem with having a country run by spin doctors and media analysts, rather than elected politicians. Thank fuck I live in a rebellious middle class town where the police will do anything for a quiet life...

Jam it back in, in the dark.
