Minimum Unit Pricing 09:59 - Feb 4 with 741 viewsraynor94

Beer and Wine to increase by 30% from October imposed on us by the nanny Senedd, and then you have the audacity of Eluned Morgan telling us to to get out of the house and visit the pub more often!

Yep, our rulers in Wales seem to have an unusually bad case of nanny statism.

I wish these leftist patronising do gooders would just leave us alone.
Taxing enjoyment for those who like a drink and drink sensibly. If alcohol wasn't expensive enough in the UK already.

The MUP will go up by 15p to match Scotland.
Beer isn't going up 30%.

A can of lager will rise from £1 to £1.30

A bottle of cider from £2.50 to £3.25

A bottle of Whisky from £14 to £18.20

Taken from BBC Wales website that certainly looks like 30%

Up 15p a unit the stronger the beverage the more it will cost. Not 15p a can or bottle ect.

From the BBC

The minimum unit price (MUP) for alcohol in Wales will increase from 50p to 65p from October.

It means a can of lager currently available for £1 will cost at least £1.30, a £2.50 bottle of cider will increase to £3.25 and a bottle of whisky now costing £14 will cost a minimum of £18.20.

Nanny state pretty much sums up the Senedd. It will get even worse if Plaid & the Greens get more seats. Tough times ahead for young working people & the hospitality industry. The sick, lame, lazy & asylum seekers meanwhile have never had it so good

She doesn't know what day of the week it so it's hardly a surprise, a beer costing 4 quid will increase to £5.20, 6quid for a Peroni will be £7.80.

Just as well that I don't drink more than 4 pints these days unless I'm away.

They don't want us to have anything, they want us all to live like paupers.

MUP doesn't affect hospitality, just alcohol bought in shops.

Absolutely they are, anything that shows them in good light to people in other countries, not that the people of Wales see it like that though, those in the Senedd don't care though.

A vote for Labour or Plaid is a recipe for another 26 years of failure, meal deal is the next to be hit by our nanny Senedd

If they spent the revenue where its needed it wouldn't be so bad, but they ignore what's needed and spend it on their vanity projects, we're a pinhead on the map yet those in the Senedd are trying to make themselves leaders of the free world

This policy has been in for circa 10 years yet the number of alcohol related disease and deaths has increased. First Minister says go and have a pint at your local. I’m confused. Is the MUP for our health benefit or just another money raising tax?
Oh…it’s increased by 30% today so that answers my question…

I will do what I always do when in England I stock up, pretty much in the same way people used to do in France. I wonder if my relates will catch on that I normally visit when Tesco have a 25% off 6 offer.

Maybe my all time favourite quotation, and one which sums these people up.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”

Clive Staples Lewis.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Yes I know that. I’m just building up to a full blown rant about it!
Apparently the reason it’s October is to give the incoming regime an opportunity to change it if they want to. Absolute cowards.
