Minimum Unit Pricing 15:03 - Sep 10 with 5023 viewsDr_Winston

Another disastrous policy implemented in Scotland and slavishly copied by the Welsh Govt without even the slightest bit of evidence that it was achieving anything.

Now they're taking a story like this, which in any sensible society should be a reason to knock the whole stupid nonsense on the head, and doubling down.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Working really well...

Lets get this straight, the Senedd have increased the profits on alcohol and the tax paid on those extra profits benefits people in England, where there is no minimum unit price with Wales getting the Barnett equivalent which will be less than the amount of extra unit price paid in Wales AND the thing this unit price was started for was to reduce alcohol problems but alcohol related deaths have hit a record high.....hmmm.

In other words thje Senedd's plan didn't work so yes, I expect them to double down and increase the minimum price.
