It is Double standards. Just like the government forcing the issue of a more Greener environment and then go champion plans to for a new runway at one the UK's main airports.

This 'government's answer to everything seems to be 'tax it'. They make life increasingly difficult, onerous, unpleasant and expensive for the majority and fail to get to grips with those who have/create the problems. If they started banging up drunks and those who sell to under age drinkers rather than dishing out umpteen warnings, cautions and fines we might see a reduction in binge drinking without penalising the majority for whom a quiet drink is one of the UK's fast diminishing legal pleasures.
