A lot of people have picked up on the proposal by The Nice for minimum alcohol pricing, but let's not forget that The Who have been pushing this agenda for years.
The proposal is complete nonsense of course, but the real problem is that these people will never admit that they are wrong/were lying*. It'll be like The War On Drugs all over again: a minimum price of 50p per unit won't achieve what they claim, and instead of doing the obvious thing and scrapping it again, they'll just up the ante and go for 70p or £1 or £2 or whatever.

I went to see the WHO in concert about 18 months ago. It wasn't really what I was expecting and God knows how they all got on to the stage.
Quite apart from the fact this this is absolutely nothing to do with NICE and they have no right to make controversial political proposals, it's a really bizarre one.
At least the Coalition have said they won't do it. Labour would probably have lapped it up.
EKTWP, was that the concert where they announced the swine flu pandemic and then smashed their guitars?
AC, let's hope not. But even better the Lib-Cons could cut The Nice's funding a bit as a warning shot.
I thought it was Nice's job to deny life-saving drugs to sick people.
AM. Now they have progressed to denying life-saving drugs to healthy people as well!
