This winter the government choose
To whack up the price of cheap booze
If you like good wine
Then everything’s fine
But fans of cheap lager will lose.

It’s absolutely right that the poor should be targeted in this way
illiterate alcoholic sub humans who don’t know what’s good for them
This has the LVA written all over it.
Yup if you want evidence of it simply read FG’s 2011 manifesto where they promise to up the price of alcohol in supermarkets and off license specifically to force people back into pubs, they realised after the election that didnt look good so invented a health angle of which there is zero evidence to support that MUP will affect consumption at all
To Curb Drinking – Tax Alcohol
To Curb Smoking – Tax Cigarettes
To Curb Obesity – Tax Sugar
To Curb Pollution – Tax Carbon Products
To Curb Litter – Tax Plastic Bags and Coffee Cups
To Curb Politicians Wages Falling – Tax Property, Imports, Exports, Transport, Prescriptions….
Great how the Government thinks outside the box to curb these problems
former health minister james reilly said that alcohol is to blame for rapes.
Unbelieveably ignorant tosser
Former OBESE health minister said…
I Know who will be mighty happy with this. Anyone north if the border selling beer. Deluded thinking.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a can of beer.
There, I’ve said it.
And I only ever bought two-ees of cider as I’m tough as nails.
Wibbling aside, this new tax is ridiculous. Typical.
Incredibly unpopular bill with little support in house and out, make your voice push your email your local TD and watch this moral policing fail horribly
Wrong approach. I’ve seen a lot of budgets and campaigns against fags and booze….this is the wrong nannying tactic.I know he’s a doctor, but some people like a smoke and a tipple after their working week and paying of their taxes.
