Default Nigel Farage calls for 'mass protest' over new alcohol guidelines

(and shockingly doesn't blame the EU or immigration for once!!! )

http://i100.independent.co.uk/articl..._campaign=i100

I don't exactly understand what he wants to protest here.. this is a government guideline, to be taken simply as advice. You can take it or leave it. It's not a new law and you won't be punished for choosing to continue your usual drinking habits.

It's health advice for gods sake, they aren't making it up..

Oh for gods sake! Is that all this cretin is bothered about? Of all the problems facing people in the UK, having no bed, food, electric, job.. the last thing on the minds of most is what dave thinks is an acceptable alcohol intake :/

If it's the same as smoking then I don't see why anyone feels it needs to be protested

its a health guideline, like not having more than 2 eggs a day or whatever. Its an amount calculated based on a 1% chance of dying from taking that amount.

It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to protest about it as its meant to inform people on how to live healthily, nothing more. Farage has clearly lost the plot.

Farage is spot on, enough of the do gooders arguing for these stupid limits trying to make the majority of the population feel guilty about their drink intake. It's as bad as the calls for the lower drink driving limit or the self-righteous dry January plebs who are killing an industry that is very important to this country.

Not sure if serious?

There should be a 0 limit for driving, IMO. I don't think this makes me self-righteous

Very serious Vicky: in Scotland you're basically over the limit if you have one pint and that is bloody ridiculous. A pub near me wrote an open letter to the PM about it:

Quote:
The landlord of Britain’s best pub has written an open letter to David Cameron asking him to reject calls for a lower drink drive limit in England and Wales, claiming that the policy would drive his business into the ground and damage the rural economy.

Peter Tiley, who runs The Salutation Inn in Gloucestershire, said he was “not sure my pub will survive” if the legal limit was reduced to less than one pint of beer, arguing that stricter rules could prove to be the final nail in the coffin for the country’s “already beleaguered rural communities”.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...-a6794486.html
And this is quite right. The idea that a pint or two at most will harm your driving to that extent is stupid and the vast majority of those who cause accidents are the idiots who drink about 6 pints and would do so whatever the legal limit was

A pint would very much affect my ability to drive. Maybe not a blokes. But 2 or 3 pints completely screws me

Why do people feel the need to drink ANYTHING when they are driving anyway? And how will this drive the pub business into the ground..smoking ban already did that, nothing else will hit them anywhere near as bad as that did

Because it is sociable, and if its a rural pub (and that pub the Salutation is literally in the middle of nowhere - it's not even a village where its based, its a hamlet) then that means you're probably going to have to drive and no one is going to visit a pub to sip half a pint of coke.
