    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

      And I was pointing out that just because you stop advertising something, doesn't stop people buying it.
      Most people don't eat junk food because they're seduced by the adverts. They'll eat it regardless. That's my point.

        They spend money because there is competition among junk food providers - the Govt will have to make junk food healthy before it loses its unnatural appeal
