SOLO-NZ Press Release (Lindsay Perigo): Ban the Ban-Mongers!

Lindsay Perigo

The nanny-statists in Labour are behaving true to their bossyboot-busybody form in calling for "changes to stop the normalisation of alcohol by sporting and cultural heroes amid an explosion of Foetal Alcohol Syndrome," says SOLO Principal Lindsay Perigo.

Labour says New Zealanders are being bombarded with messages that alcohol is a normal part of life.

The party's associate health spokesman, Iain Lees-Galloway says, "omnipresent and overt" alcohol advertising and sponsorship need to be reined in.

"I hereby call for changes to stop the normalisation of puritanical wowserism by power-lusting politicians amid an explosion of Syndrome Syndrome," says Perigo.

"New Zealanders are being bombarded with messages that Labour politicians are normal, when the reality is they are grotesqueries driven by the same perverted urges as impelled the teetotaller Adolf Hitler. They want to ban the Heineken Open and the Tui ads. Such omnipresent and overt control-freakery needs to be reined in.

"Alco-nazis are the same as nico-nazis who want a 'smoke-free New Zealand' by 2025. They won't be satisfied till there is an outright prohibition on alcohol such as obtained in America from 1919-33, with catastrophic results.

"To the extent that they deny that alcohol is a normal part of life, they are abnormal. To the extent that they themselves don't drink, they have a severe drinking problem. They should be required to attend rehab and be fed Shiraz intravenously. They are part of an explosion of CMBMS (Congenital Misery and Ban-Mongering Syndrome) and should be barred from Parliament.

"All remaining MPs should carry a health warning, that politicians are dangerous to one's freedom. And the proposed changes to the alcohol laws should be dumped," Perigo concludes.
