T*sco wants to help you

Read the newspaper, turn on the telly and you will read about how we all drink to much. Teenagers drunk on street corners, young women drinking their own body weight in bacardi breezers and throwing up in city centres and, of course, virile males drinking gazillion gallons of wife-beater and fighting.

Fortunately T*sco have offered to save us all. They want to raise their prices on alcohol, but only if everyone else does. That would be illegal; it's called 'price-fixing', so T*sco want the government's permission to do so.

So, T*sco would like to impose their own tax - a bit like government's do. Maybe, this could be a small step on the way for T*sco taking over all government services
