In Britain, that is!


LONDON - Many Britons were resigning themselves to more puritanical lifestyles Thursday as they faced the prospect of "sin taxes" that will increase the cost of alcohol, cigarettes, gas-guzzling cars and, potentially, plastic bags.

The Labour Party government is hoping that hiking taxes on booze will help curb Britain's binge-drinking culture.



Binge drinking culture?? They survived the Blitz, yo!

No more cheap plastic bags? Nobby's going to be forced to start buying high end autoerotic asphyxiation devices.

Hahahahaha...

No, they're not. They're hoping that hiking taxes will help offset the gigantic borrowing they're doing.

They won't "curb" the binge-drinking culture in Britain. It's existed for as long as Britain has existed.
