ParisInAKilt Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) I’ll nibble. You can’t have nations without nationalism. The natural state of a country is to be independent, Scotland, England, Germany, Nigeria, Japan etc. Why I don’t trust unionists and EU folk alike Edited January 23, 2020 by ParisInAKilt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the food industry and suppliers have put the fear into me already about expected price hikes. Prices have been gradually but very noticeably increasing already to take the sting out of the sharp rise that's expected. My major supplier is preparing for a 20 to 40% increase. Obviously that then effects transport, animal feed, etc. Sincerely hope its not as severe as this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The part about the minimum pricing on alcohol is a joke. 50 people were surveyed. Wft is the point of a survey of 50 people ? Especially when many of them admitted paying over the minimum alcohol price BEFORE the pricing was introduced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when many of them admitted paying over the minimum alcohol price BEFORE the pricing was introduced. It was also study of 13-17 year olds. IIRC, MUP wasn't brought in specifically to target underage drinkers but rather, older problem drinkers who were drinking high strength low cost alcohol.  It might be that it was thought there would be an overall lowering of consumption across the board, but the target was that group specifically and people likely to find themselves in that group in the future. A survey of 50 people is better than a survey of none, but it's still pretty limited.  The whole thing sounds like a pitch to get funding to do a bigger survey.  If I were the Public Health Minister, I'd say, I agree, we need to have a much bigger study and then I'd give the contract to someone else out of badness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaid Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) 52 minutes ago, Orraloon said: Why not? Because it was already over the minimum unit price.  Buckfast is only slightly more alcoholic at 15% than a standard bottle of red wine. The problem with Buckfast isn't so much the strength of the alcohol related to the price but also the amount of caffeine in it. It's that combination that's particularly problematic when consumed in quantity.

Ah right, I thought you meant it had some sort of exemption or something.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
