Nigel Elsewhere

Nigel’s got a piece in The Guardian’s Comment is Free section.

Talking about the proposed minimum prices on alcohol. Here.

We pretend that we’re ruled by the politicians in Westminster and Edinburgh, ably advised by the technocrats like Sir Liam. The great and the good will decide what is good for us and make sure that we get what is good for us, good and hard. And yet when they make a proposal, attempt to deal with some scourge or other, they are so ignorant of who makes the law, who holds the whip hand, that they propose something entirely illegal.It’s not just that they don’t tell us how much power has shifted to Brussels, it’s that they don’t even seem to know themselves.
