Tomorrow's birthday girl Betty White is taking no notice of the stupid man.
"...the only safe way to drink is to take three straws to the pub and share a glass of wine with friends."
Apparently. At least, that is the opinion of a man who was sacked as an adviser on such matters to the government, who has now set up his own "research organisation" - and has a book to promote.
To the busybody infantilising nanny-state-adherent "Professor" David Nutt, I dedicate this:
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.” - C. S. Lewis
"I get knocked down, but I get up again (pissing the night away)" - Chumbawamba
I thought you were joking and then I read the article! SWEETMARYSUNSHINE! what a jerk! Loved the music, it was perfect, sugar! xo
ReplyDeleteSome people really do make a living out of finger-wagging and poking their nose into other people's business. He's very much of the Tony Blair [if it moves, legislate it] era, and that's something no-one wants to go back to. I'm not surprised he was sacked... Jx
DeleteIt's curious how 'do-gooding' can make things so much worse - and that applies to many situations. Interesting.

The world is full of pious virtue-signallers who like nothing better than to tut at someone eating a kebab or smoking a fag. What I object to is when they try and lobby for legislation to ban the thing they don't like, or create a social media "boycott" campaign that forces someone or some organisation to apologise for absolutely no reason whatsoever. Tutting and boo-ing has become a global artform among the chattering classes - "omnipotent moral busybodies", indeed. Jx
