Stephen Malkmus Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Think some of you need to have a look deep inside yourselves to try to see where these anger issues are coming from. Ross Tokely is living rent free in your heads twenty years later. It certainly calls into question the soundness of your opinions on the subject that this thread actually relates to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless she us trying to say that the term twat is misogynistic. Like c**t, I'd say it is gender neutral despite what it literally means. Males, females and everything in between can be twats or c***s. Penis or Cock would be equally appropriate, but you can ensure full gender neutrality by using "arsehole". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 If a fizzy drink has high sugar content it’s already taxed higher than low sugar drinks, what’s the use in banning it from meal deals? If you are banning diet drinks from meal deals, well why? Diet Coke has zero calories, zero sugar. What’s the purpose of that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Laughable to think that this will work or have a positive impact. Look at the price increases on junk food across the board in the last 4 or so years. Everything from fizzy drinks to McDonalds to a bag of chips. Is this price increase deterring people? Nope, if anything, these places are busier than ever. It's the laziest way to try and solve a problem. If there's no fizzy drinks included in a meal deal, does anyone from the Govt genuinely believe that it will act as a deterrent to stop folk buying a can of Irn Bru or Coke rather than just paying the extra 60p or so to drink exactly what they want with their meal deal? It hasn't worked on alcohol so they decide to not only double down on that but put an exclamation mark on it too by trying to ban even more stuff. It's quite staggering how badly the government have made an arse of it up here from the position of almost unparalleled goodwill that they came into power with and kept for such a long time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not an SNP way though - it's the Holyrood way. The Greens are on board with all this nonsense, the Lib-Lab Scottish Executives were heading in this direction before 2007, and the complaint of the opposition parties is about where the revenue from these schemes is going to - not the gubbins principle. Scottish politicians cannot help meddling and micro-managing nonsense like this. I think it's a product of not having full power but wanting to 'do something' with new gimmick laws to justify their existence. There are plenty of problems that are within their existing powers to resolve through better practice and scrutiny but that's boring and doesn't get the approval of the phalanx of special advocate groups who flock to Edinburgh. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) Personally speaking I quite like the idea of being able to buy one item of a meal deal at the right price without being penalised for not buying the other two Whether making Snickers cheaper is the intended consequence I'm not so sure Edited February 29 by topcat(The most tip top) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just know that when the meeting of politicians, civil servants and lobbyists which finalised this policy broke-up you could cut the air of self-satisfaction and entitlement in that Holyrood function room with a ladle... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that the posters above also complained vociferously when Westminster introduced similar legislation for England back in 2022? Implementation of some of the measures (like 3 for 2's or BOGOF's) has been delayed until 2025(?), but the ban on junk food at entrances and tills has been in force for a good while now.. Were the SNP & Greens at fault for this too? https://www.specialityfoodmagazine.com/business/hfss-explained-what-the-regulations-mean-and-when-they-come-into-effect#:~:text=What is the HFSS regulation,with 50 employees or more. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
