We're all going to die !

I some times wonder if this has really sunk into the political class.

Why am I mentioning this ?

We'll is the decision by the liberal media (aka BBC etc) to have a go at middle class drinkers - as bad as binge drinkers - so there you can't point figures now can you ?

Know I know alcohol causes a lot of misery in peoples lives, but it also lightens up many.

In truth I don't mind the warning - why not, perhaps many of us do drink too much - its the continual nagging (drinking, weight, smoking, exercise, sun/no sun etc) by the media that annoys me.

Its this obsession with living till your old enough to be ignored in a hospital bed lying in your own filth that I find odd.

There won't be many of us having good deaths.

Lets at least have good lives before then. This desire of the government and its think tanks and campaign groups that fly in formation with it to control our lives and convince us all we have some sort of problem is just suffocating.

Bryony Gordon thinks we should avoid growing old also .... not that she needs to worry for quite a while.
