Nanny State

[Dodbroon]

The amount of crap that comes out of the various governments up here, down there and still from Europe beggars belief. Was in Wetherspoons and see that you can no longer get a cup of hot chocolate or mocha because it is part of the latest 'nanny' initiative to stop obesity that stops retail outlets, restaurants etc. offering free second cups (or more) of sweet drinks. So the likes of Wetherspoons who dispense the drinks through the 'have as many as you like' machine now can't sell it at all because someone might get more than one for the same dosh.

Now I don't even like hot chocolate I just got pissed off seeing the new regulations when I had a coffee (no sugar) and a free top up. It took me half a second to see the stupidity/futility of the new regulations. No one can now have hot chocolate because the set up can't cope with only one sold at a time but you can have say five or more cups of free tea or coffee and coup in six or seven sugars into each, no problem.I

Can we not get these green, nanny, woke lot right away to f*ck before the country goes right to the dogs. Hot chocolate, ha ha, seems like a joke but it's symptomatic of the utter nonsense laws being forced on us by the Tories (who started this particular nonsense), Labour, wishy washy Lib Dems and the useless SNP. It's taken me a while but I reckon Reform is our only hope for the future.

Think the increase in the price of basis cocoa might also be playing a part.

How does one unwind this tendency to have ever increasing interference with our lives.
I think stopping the law being used by no win no fee lawyers might be helpful.

The nanny state policy with reduced sugar in fizzy drinks ain?t working in Scotland as there are plenty of obese and morbidly obese people throughout Scotland.
In my opinion the obesity amongst people in Scotland is as a result of ?fat free? ready meals where the fat has been replaced by sugar.
This coupled with a lack of exercise by young people thanks to the teachers strikes in the mid 1980?s resulting in out of school sporting activities no longer taking place has caused this obesity epidemic and time bomb.
