At last we have someone saying the blindingly obvious - there really is no need for a minimum price for alcohol.
After 13 years of Labour rule our country is rife with people in quangos who are issuing press releases calling on the government to ban something, make something illegal or apply a so-called green tax to something. Labour were the new puritans, ready to ban, tax or target anything that people enjoyed, such as a drink. You can bet that labour would have grasped the minimum price for alcohol with their characteristic evangelistic zeal and applied a special tax to ensure a minimum alcohol price.
You know it makes sense, it's for your own good, you will all be better for it - can't you just hear Gordon Brown's words now.
Instead we've had a bit of common sense.
Let's hope that common sense will prevail and be applied to lots of other areas.
Here are a few . . .
scrap biometric passports, or offer them only as an option to people who want them, that would save the rest of us a lot of money.
scrap the Independent Safeguarding Authority - that will save millions and let people get on with helping others without an army of snoopers watching them
