Attack of The Puritans

Since they are no longer able to offer Marxist economics, and sexual freedoms are the norm, the left has struggled to find a role. With every passing year, it is clear that the role is that of the Puritan. The left hate fun and they hate freedom. Green politics has been a major boon for them, allowing them to ban all kinds of things as well as increasing taxes (for the planet of course).
As global cheerleader for the left, the EU has been at the forefront of multinational nannying. Their latest target is alcohol.

Finland (Current EU President) wants EU-wide laws in place by 2010 to ban alcohol ads before the 9pm watershed as well as sports sponsorship deals such as Budweiser's association with the World Cup. The £28m deal with Fifa covers the South Africa 2010 and 2014 tournaments as well as Germany 2006. Other proposals in the commission's strategy against binge drinking include controls on the prices of alcohol and discount offers as well as health warnings on alcoholic drinks.

Now many countries already have tyrannical approaches to alcohol, but on a country basis these are always reversable. Now these bastards want to control the price of alcoholic beverages, on a European Scale!!!!!!
They also want to ban sponsorship by drinks companies. Imagine sports without alcohol sponsorship. Where would they find alternative sources of cash?
Oliver Cromwell made the people of Britain miserable with his Puritan revolution. He banned everything that was pleasurable and fun. But the reign of his philosophy was limited. We should make sure that history repeats itself.
