Less alcohol in wine - the new panacea from the UK government

Yet another moronic idea from the conservative government, which continues to think that it knows better how people should run their lives than people themselves.

Reminds me of the day I went to a pub, ordered a pint of Leffe Blond (good, Belgian beer), and was told that they were not allowed by the government (or council - I forget which) to sell that beer in pint glasses as it was "too strong". I promptly asked for an empty pint glass, ordered two half-pints of Leffe Blond and proceeded to pour the contents of the two half-pint glasses into the pint glass in front of the barman. I hope he got the message.

Libertarian Countries

Very surprised and pleased to see that today's most read article on The Telegraph website is "A guide to the world's most libertarian countries"! However, with the exception of taxation, the article seems to focus only on civil liberties and leaves out one of the most important civil liberties, namely the right to migrate.
