Cyclone Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Ive not read all the threads so i dnt know if the question has already been asked, but why alcholics get an alcholic allowance?( more drink..)shouldnt they be helped some other way- councilling, medication,detox ect. It seems bizaar!! I know someone close to me who is on the sick because of alcolism (deteriorating fast) gets an alcoholic allowance, and the social pay for their reidence in the room above the pub. How can this be justified? I would just like to point out that i am not discriminating alcoholics. Not discriminating, but completely wrong.

ferno Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 While David Cameron today launches an attack on the “scandal” of alcohol excess, he previously earned tens of thousands as the director of a late night bar chain whose promotions were linked to binge drinking. Cameron topped up his £64,000 MPs salary with a £28,000 per year role with Urbium PLC, now known as Novus Leisure, the owners of the Tiger Tiger bar chain. When he quit to run as Tory leader he owned a stake in the company worth £40,000. While Number 10 today highlights 200,000 hospital admissions and a £2.7bn cost to the economy, Cameron’s former company pursued ”happy hour” promotions linked to binge drinking: “Chains like Tiger Tiger also keep the cash rolling in by paying incentives to their bar staff who meet sales targets. Bar managers can earn up to 50% on top of their regular salary, so the more booze you sell, the greater the chance of getting a good bonus.” While the PM has previously feigned ignorance of “pink pussy” and “slippery nipple” cocktails sold by the chain, the bar group aggressively lobbied local councils for late night 3am licenses. http://politicalscrapbook.net/2012/02/david-cameron-binge-drinking-urbium-tiger-tiger/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecky Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 2.5bn to the NHS, I wonder how much the government makes in tax due to the sale of alcohol. The Yes Minister smoking sketch springs to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I like how this is being pressented as some kind of new problem. The English have been drunkards since the beginning of time.
