'oh wow is me as an international exporter having to stick a sticker on a can, HOW WILL I EVER SURVIVE???'

What's good about imposing additional costs and regulation on small businesses for axiomatic information?

SPOILER

Do the current labels change anyone's behaviour? Probably just help heavy drinkers pick out the best unit/€

I'm all in favour btw of sticking stickers on foods too. Maybe something like 'too much of this will make you fat', as the statistics suggest that people are oblivious to that fact.

Stickers on everything in the supermarket except vegetables?

Trinity Mirror Group got the deal through this morning.
Funny if the editorial stance changes overnight, would be a lot of spluttered porridge when a few pro EU stories drop onto the Tunbridge Wells breakfast tables. Though I'm guessing TMG won't want to alienate too quickly the Express audience of retired Major Generals.

Its a worrying development to have further lack of diversity in the main stream media.

Tony Bullocks has a nice ring to it

Sounds like a biology lesson

Anyway he lost his fan base when he shaved off his Frankie goes to Hollywood moustache.

Nice deflection though Mrsfd. If you don't love me back it makes it easier for me anyway.

Diversity in the sense that the media is already heavily left wing liberal biased and this further pushes it in that direction.

[Tar.Aldarion]

There's already health stickers on everything in the supermarket, including on most vegetables.

Looking forward to be the only one buying things without pictures of cancer on them.

Meat tax next.

Just dont like to see the puritans winning, can imagine them all high giving each other in their triathlon leotards as the extinguish another little bit of happiness from peoples lives
Btw I have absolutely no evidence for this but I’d imagine craft beer drinkers drink a good bit less than multinational slop imbibers. I know I do, 2 heavy 5% era or an 8% on a weekend night and I’m happy out

MrsFD needs to start another list for people who have no heart problems due to having no heart: [1] shrap, [2] sickpuppy

My list (love Friday afternoons)

20 years time and old HH reminiscing about the IPB with Courier Collie over a buckwheat soup. (yes they both live-bastards)



Ah remember the ol lads and what killed them.



Mike Bull - Strangled in a lap dancing club by his own braces

Careca – Heart. (some blame Yurgen Klopp-Spillane)

5starpool – Trampled to death collecting his kid from school before summer holidays. Some say the ol goats walking stick pierced his lung.

CHD - Death by misadventure in 2019 after Chelski got relegated. Jammed a dart into his own temple. (was aiming for the shoulder)

Jack - Died of exasperation (the old diseases are coming back)

Ionapaul - flatlined along with his portfolio in 2020

Strewelpeter - Died of old age in 2018

Raoul - Died when the nursing home his kids picked caught fire mysteriously. 5 years later the eldest kid admitted to it, buy they hushed it up for the greater good.

Msflushdraw – died of old age despite many years of worrying about dying young and enduring the death of mike bull.

Flushdraw – ran off with a maltese teenage poker player he was giving lesson to. Died of guilt (plus a dart to his own temple- deliberate and accurate shot)

Gimmeabreak- Murdered by a ladyboy in a rage after he objected to the quality of the meat.

Kayroo - He died after his stock of lawbooks landed on his noggin when he was trying to perfect an assemble. The books didn’t kill him , Instead of calling for help he died of starvation as he decided to reread them all again to answer a question put to him over the weekend.

HJ - Was killed by a woman. She later became the President.

Lazare – Fell down a street drain while out training for the marathon.

Diversity in the sense that the media is already heavily left wing liberal biased and this further pushes it in that direction.

[Raoul Duke III]

Having a 5% of GDP gov spending deficit at a time when your economy is running above average and at full employment is really quite insane economics, especially when you already have debt/GDP ratio of 105%.

I see Smart and Stable Genius is now saying the markets are dumb for having the temerity to plummet on his watch

Diversity in the sense that the media is already heavily left wing liberal biased and this further pushes it in that direction.

Once more. Liberal and left wing are not the same. Please please stop conflating them.

The harder left you go, the further away from liberalism you go, just as the harder right you go the same.

If I said the Liberal right wing Daily Mail would you find it
A stupid
B stupid
C stupid

?

[eamonhonda]

There's plenty of right wing biased media to balance. They are called tabloids and are for idiots by idiots.

[Raoul Duke III]

Diversity in the sense that the media is already heavily left wing liberal biased and this further pushes it in that direction.

Seeing as we are discussing UK newspapers:

The Sun
Daily Mail
The Express
The Telegraph
- all tend to the nuttily populist end of the right wing spectrum

The Guardian
-definitely right-on liberal left

The Independent
- centrist

The Times
- definitely trends right

so the bulk of the UK newspaper market leans to the right, not the left. In this, as in so many other things, you are quite transparently speaking through your hole.

Having a 5% of GDP gov spending deficit at a time when your economy is running above average and at full employment is really quite insane economics, especially when you already have debt/GDP ratio of 105%.

When were the Republican's ever the party of fiscal conservatism?

R:
Richard Nixon: Added $121 billion, a 34 percent increase from the $354 billion debt at the end of LBJ's last budget, FY 1969.

Gerald Ford: Added $224 billion, a 47 percent increase from the $475 billion debt at the end of Nixon's last budget, FY 1974.

Ronald Reagan: Added $1.86 trillion, a 186 percent increase from the $998 billion debt at the end of Carter's last budget, FY 1981. Reaganomics didn't work to grow the economy enough to offset tax cuts.

George H.W. Bush: Added $1.554 trillion, a 54 percent increase from the $2.8 trillion debt at the end of Reagan's last budget, FY 1989.

George W. Bush: Added $5.849 trillion, a 101 percent increase from the $5.8 trillion debt at the end of Clinton's last budget, FY 2001.

D:
Jimmy Carter: Added $299 billion, a 43 percent increase from the $699 billion debt at the end of Ford's last budget, FY 1977.

Bill Clinton: Added $1.396 trillion, a 32 percent increase from the $4.4 trillion debt at the end of George H.W. Bush's last budget, FY 1993.

Barack Obama: Added $7.917 trillion, a 68 percent increase from the $11.657 trillion debt at the end of George W. Bush’s last budget, FY 2009.

The mail and the sun are also top 2 papers in the UK I believe, so the right wing media has the majority of the readership.

Convienant that you left out the Mirror and the BBC (not a newspaper but read significantly online) and watched of course which are both left wing. Independent is left wing and increasingly so.

Convenient that you are ignoring the fact that that poll was taken in a centre right country and so is skewed by right wing thought

That actuality wouldn't fit though, would it

[Strewelpeter]

The Mirror is on the list.
BBC is neither left nor right in news and current affairs, if they seem left wing to you that would be because publishing unvarnished facts and giving equal airtime and treatment to all sides will make stupid people look stupid and show up corrupt and exploitative policies for what they are.

Facts Have a Well-Known Liberal Bias

[Guest]

Jack you will have to explain how you a champion of freedom of expression and freedom of thought is so aggravated by left, liberal or indeed the left liberal elite (whom ever they are) press or thought.

Surely you should welcome all areas and views seeing as your only concern is free press and freedom of thought.

Unless... Unless

No problem with any of the above but evidence has shown the left want to shut down freedom of speech, expression etc in the name of PC correctness. Too much of that in the 4th estate would be a bad thing.
