Scottish Nanny is becoming increasingly worried about her future finances, what with the possibility of independence etc.
As such, she has been looking around for ways and means to boost her revenues; having had a go at booze, by setting minimum prices, she is now looking at that other wonderful cash cow smoking.
She has come up with a cunning plan to fine people for smoking outside of hospitals. Not just a wee fine, but a bloody stonking huge fine.
Doctors have backed plans to enforce no-smoking zones around hospitals with fines of up to £1,000 for breaking the rules.
The
Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh (RCPE) said they were
supporting the Scottish government’s fines for smoking near hospitals.
Under
the proposed system those caught smoking within 15 metres of a hospital
building face financial penalties of up to £1,000, while staff who
failed to enforce the ban could have to pay more than twice as much.
Easy money!

OK, I understand the bit about no smoking within 15 metres of a hospital building. A bit hard to enforce unless they paint an exclusion zone, not many people will be able to determine 15 metres without one.
ReplyDeleteBut what is this bollocks about fining hospital staff if they don't enforce this rule?
What are they expected to do?
Are they just going to suggest to smokers that they should move back a few meters, or will they be the ones issuing fines?
Either way, this is the sort of plan that has been thought up by a village idiot, certain to raise tempers but little money.
Nicola Sturgeon is a cunt.
