Tattoos

Just read, in the course of an article, that the NHS spends £40,000,000 per year removing unwanted tattoos.
Why? What has this to do with the nation's health?
If people can find the money to have them done, surely they can find the money to have them undone.
There's no reason for the state to get involved.

Cheap Booze Britain?

To begin with, here's something you may have missed on the Guido Fawkes blog a couple of days ago.
Right now the anti-alcohol lobby are stampeding again, demanding higher prices for booze. Perhaps with this in mind, Guido has posted the following useful graph comparing British booze tax to those in the rest of Europe.

No extra comment needed.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

But hang on - isn't it the 21st of January?
Well, yes. But fact is that ever since Christmas I've been in a sort of 'slough of despond', not wanting to blog or, for that matter, do anything else. I've been lying in bed for half the day like a human compost heap.Now, as the days begin to grow appreciably longer and lighter, I feel the sap rising again. Expect more stuff shortly.
