Tories drink blunder

If you needed a reason not to vote Tory, here it is. After gaining the support of voters with their opposition to the Labour Government’s hooch tax hikes and War Against Drinking, the Conservatives are now taking about banning cheap booze and keeping high levels of taxation when they get voted in.

Cameron thinks the public want moral crusades. They don’t. They want the State to butt out of their personal lives, end wars and improve schools and the NHS. 

Pledges to help pubs are welcome but the real villains are greedy pubcos, not cheap cans of beer for a barbecue.
