Prime Minister David Cameron says he does not want to rule out introducing a sugar tax in order to tackle Britain’s “obesity crisis”.
We don’t need a sugar tax because we don’t have an obesity crisis. And if we did, it is none of his damned business what people put into their mouths.
Mr Cameron said it would be better not to have to resort to new taxes but said that “what matters is we do make progress” on obesity.
This man is a fucking Conservative?

No, he is a cunt of the first order…
Sod the obesity crisis: it’s the stupidity epidemic I’m worried about. I’m surprised* the media haven’t covered it.
* (For very small values of “surprised”.)
True; but hard to raise revenue from a stupid tax
More like he needs more revenue due to depleted coffers.
You can bet the projected revenue that will be raised will be based on current consumption, i.e. they won’t expect it to actually work. They will promise that the money will go to health services and, consequently, anyone who opposes it will be branded as being evil, wanting to deny funding for the health services and not thinking of the children.
Its amazing that we are told we have an obesity crisis today, but tomorrow we will be told the poor are starving because they all have to use food banks.
Where exactly are all these gaunt Belsen look-a-likes? Apart from the usual druggies, the welfare claiming classes all look pretty plump to me.
The fat fuck is just flying a kite to test Joe Public’s reaction. If it looks palatable they’ll introduce it, collect it, dump it in the central pay pot and promptly piss it up the wall. Sorry, I meant spend it wisely on healthcare and education to ‘tackle’ the problem.
