Dear Sir/Madam,
PROHIBITION - NOT MINIMUM PRICING
I have just returned from the Campaign for Real Ale's annual Great British Beer Festival in London to which I was invited in order to see "responsible drinking" being undertaken.
This disgusting experience merely confirmed that making alcohol expensive is not any kind of answer. It cost £10 for admission and another £3 to obtain a glass before a single drop could be sampled. Yet, I could see considerable numbers of people whose consumption had been such that they would not have been legally (and, in several cases, physically) capable of driving a motor vehicle.
Only complete prohibition can save the health and morality of our nation.

I love all the ganster movies based on prohibition america, prohibition and the bootlegger era has such romantasism behind it.
ReplyDeleteIt would be great to bring such a culture back to life in the UK.
I wholeheartedly support this.
Brilliant idea - prohibition means speakeasys - and as they would be illegal anyway, we could smoke with a beer again. I'm up for it.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. Machine guns, molls, speakeasys and dirty rats.
ReplyDeleteIt's also much easier to make alcohol than drugs.
ReplyDeleteProhibition would allow me to make some extra cash by selling my homebrew instead of E and i can pick the fruit from my garden to make it.
My god, this is such a brilliant idea, just think of all the money i could make!
