Scottish MPs Vote to Set Price for Alcohol

Today, 7 January, Juche 99, Members of the Scottish parliament have been introduced to a new law which will set a minimum price for alcohol. In an effort to curb drinking, MPs of the Scottish National Party pushed forward a bill armed at hurting members of the Scottish proletariat. Previously, cheap liquor was available, now the parliament in Edinburgh has set a £2,25 charge for alcohol within Scotland. This move is rediculous, alcohol is a time held tradition throughout the world. Even recently, the German magazine, Der Spiegel, had an article which has given us the early reason as to why founded cities and became civilised. That reason is alcohol! It has recently been discovered that early man created cities so that they would have a place to store and drink their liquor. Alcohol in these times however were more hearty and nutritious. It has even been rumoured that Noah, while on the ark drank beer, because the water became salty. We now know that salty water to be the Persian Gulf. I strongly oppose this move by the Scottish parliament, although so does the opposition in the House of Commons. This new law has been submitted by the Scottish Health Committee.
