Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 So glad I don't live in Scotland under the SNP. Their approach to alcohol is complete nanny state stuff. It's really not been any different to the last 18 year's to be honest... Not that I've ever noticed anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dipped Flake Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 So glad I don't live in Scotland under the SNP. Their approach to alcohol is complete nanny state stuff. I keep repeating myself here but Labour, the Tories and Liberals all support minimum pricing for alcohol so why pick on the SNP. Also, as for the OP this has been shown as total rubbish so, again, why pick on the SNP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And another thing, who was it that brought in the ban on drinking at football matches in Scotland? Here is a wee hint; it sure as hell wasn't the SNP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small example - at Edinburgh airport you could double up a spirit for a quid 3 or so years ago. Now you have to pay for two full measures under some flawed message of health care. That's an SNP policy isn't it? Nanny state stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moogsy Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Not getting into the whole independence thing but from what I've seen the SNP government have been absolutely laughable when trying to tackle football issues: A rushed and completely unnecessary new law regarding sectarianism, which hasn't changed a thing and pertains to issues that could have been dealt with perfectly well under previous legislation. Kenny MacAskill's stupid comments about making overtures to ban late night Edinburgh derbies after a few minor events. Wouldn't be surprised if they go along with this as well.

Costanza Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 On the one hand you have the British Medical Association, the Royal College of Physicians and the Police and on the other, some football fans on messageboards (and the Labour Party in Scotland; but I don't want to associate posters on here with that mediocrity).

Independence Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Aye, build the trams and ruin pubs, early kick offs ruin pubs may as well just shut them down completely and then spoil football for everyone whilst at it. Scotland is ******* terrible. Mon the union. You can blame the SNP for lots of things (as you can any party in control as the SNP has now been in control, democratically for many years) but you cant blame them for the Trams. The trams was a Labour initiative/policy and the SNP tried to stop them, but the penalties were too high. As to the drink issue, at least they are tackling Scotland's issues head on and not having to bow, as Labour do, to Westminster. These are unpopular initiatives but they are not scared to loose votes short term if it is for the good of Scotland long term. What you cannot argue is that the SNP is the only pure Scottish party with the good of its people as its first concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest C00l K1d Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 So you think a good, regular source of income should be denied our clubs because a few daft wee laddies can't behave after a couple of shandies ? You think the only people who are areholes and can't handle their bevvy at a football game are 'daft wee laddies?'

You say increasing the price of booze is so the government can make more money?? It has been shown that increasing the price of cheap booze cuts consumption so that argument is flawed to put it mildly. Can't really argue when you get onto cigarettes and the cash cow that is, for the unionist government not the Scottish government. You then go on to say there is a health benefit from trying to get people to cut down, which is what the Scottish goverment is trying to do. To summarise I have no idea what your argument is. It seems that you are so determined to slag off the SNP that you have got yourself a bit tied up in knots.

They should sell drink in stadiums, its up to the police to deal with anyone that does anything against the law. The SNP have the power to change things but instead have it in for fitba fans.
