Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
Apparently they're going to give a clubcard so you get a discount. Plus convict one, get one free....and other inane comparisons.
...my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

Mark my words, the next thing will be "Home Audit of your Carbon Footprint" where an inspector will assess your lifestlye, ask to see energy usage, utility bills, etc. This will create a Home Footprint Index. Homes that exceed some arbitary figure will see Council Tax increased. Homes that fall within the parameters, will see no Council Tax rise until the audit the following year. It will be sold as "Do you bit to save the planet..and save money on Council Tax too !"
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.
