Something which shows the law-makers flouting their own laws is not propaganda.

I used to hate coming out and sniffing my clothes and smelling like a chimney. Disgusting.

I could invite people over to my house where we share some beer, wine and spirits, have a nice raging fire in the living room, have a smoke, put some music on and have a chat, perhaps even a bite to eat. No kids, obviously, this is adult time.
I could even extend this to some friends of friends.
I could call this a house open to the public.
Or a public house, even.

How about the govt concentrate on the economy, jobs, immigration, the farce known as the EU etc and leave nannying to New Labour?

I don't think this counts as prohibition DP. Surely you don't buy your wine from Tesco anyway.

Have no fear - they will just start selling 6 bottles of wine in their original box, a bit like Majestic. This is a different product and therefore is not being discounted.
Thinking of Majestic - do they still insist on buying a minimum of 12 bottles? Haven't been there for years as I prefer to buy one of 2 otherwise I keep drinking them. Which makes the gov's policy QED.
Actually - I'm a reformed minor alcoholic. As in someone who used to have a little drink most nights. There's been a bottle on the rack for a 10 days now - and I haven't touched it. I feel much more clear of head in the mornings and most of all the wallet notices the difference! Given that alchol is mostly tax, then not drinking is good in my book.

£4 for a pint of Stella at my local pub or £3.75 for a bottle of Semillon Chardonay after a 25% off for 6 bottles from Tesco.
Mmmmm. Pub or stay home...
