Re: Do the Scots REALLY want Independance?

And the Scots come up with a health brainwave...lets tax supermarkets for selling fags...we'll make £110 million in 4 years...

BBC News - Six Scottish Sainsbury's supermarkets end cigarette sales

result..supermarkets stop selling fags...government get zilch...job losses ensue (wholesalers, distributors and even the guys on the kiosks)...meanwhile your average Rob Roy continues smoking his roll ups bought in the corner shop or more likely from a mate who's just got back from Benidorm.

Many others can even skip across the border and buy from an English supermaket.

Please hurry up and devolve, this kind of inane nanny state politics is contagious
