Plans to force cigarette manufacturers to introduce plain packaging — assumed to have been dropped in Alistair Darling's Pre-Budget Report last year — have been quietly revived, The Times has learnt.Today the packet of smokes, tomorrow the bottle of beer, then the chocolate bar. Any excuse to nanny, preach and otherwise dictate what we can do, the great and the not so fucking good love to look down their beaky noses at the unwashed plebs an proles.
A group of cross-party backbench peers have made amendments to the Health Bill, which is making its way through Parliament, with a view to restoring the proposal.
Lord Patel of Bradford, Baroness O'Cathain, Lord Walton of Detchant and Lord Faulkner of Worcester have tabled amendments to the Health Bill at the committee stage in the Lords that would allow the Health Secretary to ban or restrict the sale or supply of tobacco products if they are sold in packaging that does not comply with regulations.
If passed, the Health Secretary would also be allowed to dictate the colour of cigarette packs, their shape, the trademarks displayed on them and any labelling.
God where would be be without their ever wise guidance, like Dr David Walker calling for taxes to be imposed on chocolate. Then we have a Minister of EU regulations who a small cock'd wanker who gets a boner at the thought of giving ever more regulation on overtaxed motorists.
Oh an these authoritarian fuckers love fines, especially if its on motorists. But they love, I mean swollen boner style love, the sort of love Quentin Davis has for sheep; oh how they love attacking the demon booze.
Meanwhile the streets are rife with crime an the police have given up and play poker. Oh an should be unlucky enough to be unemployed the state wants to know how much you drink.
