You are correct, it's 2.4 units of alcohol, so 96p it is. Still begs the question of where the extra 15p will go: the retailer, the brewer or the revenue? |

Saw that a little earlier. Brought a small smile to my face on an otherwise crappy day.  |

Fair is a subjective thing - almost everybody thinks people like them carry the country, so I try to give benefit of the doubt. Sometimes they make it so difficult though! 
I think there was a period were the right got to own economics, and were walking in an Adam Smith wonderland, while the progressive left got social policy. Things were good; Coldplay were in the charts and all we had to worry about was running a couple of wars without any meaningful strategic aims. The emperor knew how to look good naked.
Then it all went to hell. Lefties put on V for Vendetta masks and dug out their abacuses, and the right decided that they'd blame the flaws in our economic system on profligacy, political correctness, immigrants and spongers - excepting the rich ones, of course. Ugly, innit? |

Thats because of their lies and propaganda they spout. If the public knew the truth about how they are treating people and not read the likes of the DM & The Sun's disgusting headlines (37% on sick are fakers, anyone??? - The Sun last week) then it would be different.
Divide and conquer is alive and well and apparently working.

A poll of one thousand respondents.
When Lord Howe can dismiss a poll of 8900 members of the Royal College of Physicians (from a total membership of 25000) as unrepresentative rlhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-17398446rl then I think we can easily put a poll of 1000 from 65 million in the bin where it belongs.
Truth is, there is no credible opposition to the current incumbents at the moment.

If you look back at the historical data (since 1984), the tories only move around 3 points either way, no matter who is in power or what the topical crisis may be |

It's okay everyone – rlGideon's planning to send every taxpayer a detailed statement of how their taxes are spent.rl
That's obviously why he needs to cut benefits to the sort of wastrels who don't pay said taxes.

Will the statements contain a breakdown of how much it costs to produce the statements? |

Well indeed.
And will the so-called Taxpayers' Alliance (that you can't join, and which is a Tory front) be campaigning against this expenditure? |

Try having any influence on them, even as a 'member'.
