| SMOKING, DRUGS AND ALCOHOL |
|
This Govenment gets right up my nose. I mean they say that smoking and alcohol and drugs are
bad for you and do their best to stop them. Mind you their best is bleedin' useless so they
don't stop any of
it.
But
they shouldn't even be trying to stop people smoking and drinking and taking
drugs
in the first place, they should be doing the opposite, they should be encouraging them
to do more of it! I mean take smoking. What would happen if they banned it? I'll tell you what
would happen, they'd put income tax up, that's would would bleedin' happen, and sharpish,
I mean they'd
have to put it up to make up for all the tobacco tax they used to get off the smokers what they won't
be getting no more. I mean they should
be trying to talk people into smoking more not trying top put 'em off it, I mean the more fags
people smoke the more tax they pay don't they.
Plus a lot of them will die of lung cancer a lot sooner than they would have if they hadn't
smoked so they won't be drawing the old age pension for as long, and some won't even draw any
of it at all. Same thing with alcohol. Same story exactly. Except that the people who drink die
earlier through doing their livers in instead of getting lung cancer. Here, that reminds me of
a joke. Who's the Patron Saint of heavy drinkers? Sir Osis of the Liver. Good that innit, my
boy Clint told me that one, bright lad. Drugs is different. See if the Government was to ban
drugs they wouldn't lose anything because there's no tax on drugs, what with 'em being illegal.
No, what the Government ought to do if they want to get rid of the drug problem is to make drug
taking legal. And free. Set up a distribution point on every street corner and give the drugs
away, coke, crack, E's, whizz, heroin, the lot. Quicker than you can say 'Where the bleedin'
hell am I?' all the drug
dealers will be out of business. Keep it up for a month or two, then when everyone has got used
to it
and there were no more dealers close down all the distribution centres and tell all the druggies
not to worry, all the drugs they need will be available on prescription from their
local doctor. Then
they'd try to make an appointment to see their doctor and they wouldn't be able to see him for
two weeks, longer if he's anything like my bleedin' doctor, and by the time they'd got hold
of their free drug subscription they'd have kicked the habit. Simple.
