“Labour Actually HATE Voters” Government’s ‘Sin Tax’ Raid To Hit Pubs, Drinkers And Smokers

Labour is planning a “sin tax” raid on pubs, drinkers and smokers to boost public finances.
The fresh threat comes as Health Secretary Wes Streeting - who previously insisted he’s not the “fun police” - called for a national debate on an outdoor smoking ban.
Meanwhile, Public Health Minister Andrew Gwynne is considering earlier pub closing times to limit alcohol consumption and curb anti-social behaviour.

Reducing the sale of alcohol?Is this another step towards the banning of it altogether and another step to appease the Islamists?

That’s the one. Only thing is, go to Bahrain and see how many Muslims are getting drunk. Especially over the Saudi weekend.

I know you were being Islamophobic, but if the government were to tax Church of England land then this would generate a sizeable amount in tax revenue. The Church owns about 260,000 acres and if the land were worth £10 billion, a 1% tax could generate £100 million annually.

[@Starmerispureevil]

@@sbor2020I’m all for taxing all religion, but one in particular. Don’t call it Islamophobia, it’s Islamawareness

[@sbor2020]

@@Starmerispureevil This is a textbook example of Orwellian language. "Islamawareness" is a manipulative way of rebranding "Islamophobia" to make bigotry sound acceptable or even positive. It distorts reality by downplaying the prejudice inherent in Islamophobia and tries to frame it as something neutral or educational. This kind of language stops people from thinking critically and recognising discrimination for what it really is. It’s a way to mask intolerance, which is why it’s so dangerous and despicable.

[@sbor2020]

Yes, government is bad for, so why is there no discussion of anarchy? In an anarchist society, there would be no centralised government or formal hierarchy. Instead, communities would self-organise through voluntary cooperation, mutual aid, and decentralised decision-making. People would collectively manage resources and services through local assemblies, cooperatives, or federations, with a focus on equality and direct participation. Dispute resolution would be based on consensus, restorative justice, or community-based systems rather than state-imposed laws. The goal is a society based on autonomy, freedom, and solidarity without coercive authority.
