Good time to bug your MP

Don't really need the gov for that. Let the companies scrap it out. Eventually they'll sign a contract saying i'll have this wavelength and you'll have this wavelength. And if they deviate they can sue the other for breach of contract in the courts.

Yep, but their radiowaves will be travelling over my land, which is taxed according to some valuation method you still refuse to tell us us about, and valued by some organisation you refuse to identify, so I will presumably be allowed to charge broadcasters for the privilege of broadcasting their waves over my land.

And can you reference that health economics analysis? I'd be interested in the research base behind it.

I doubt you are, but I don't really care about the economic analysis. People should be able to do what they please (so long as it doesn't hurt others), but live with the consequences of their lifestyles.

I recall a few years ago the NHS had spent a million in care on a fat bastard who weighed about 25 stone. Those are the cases we could do without.

Robby must be a mascochist who enjoys having a new arsehole torn for him every time he presents his half-baked ideas.
remember parents, save up now for your child's university education, or they'll end up like this nitwit.

I did what felt like a couple of minutes of test automation, came back and you lot have done two whole pages of decimating every little thought that comes out of that small grey blob inside his head.

Bloody well done chaps.

No, we'd gathered that.

So what impact will scrapping alcohol and tobacco duty have on national productivity? You don't care? Any reduced productivity is the result of your new system and must be priced into it. Please advise.

It was all automated so no worries.

Why would it have to be priced into it?

[speling bee]

Why would it have to be priced into it?

If you are proposing a new tax / spend system and that leads to a worsening in public health, which in turn leads to lost productivity, then how can we know what the full impact of the new system is without understanding the extent of that lost productivity. Please advise.

[Robinho]

Any losses would be privatised to the individual, so it's not really much of an issue for society as a whole. For the majority of people the cost of alcohol is not the limiting factor in their consumption, so it's only unproductive poor people that would be left to die.

It is now!
