I'm not sure if many other people picked up on this, but there was a point when there was almost a massive crackdown on alcohol in the UK.

It wasnt in 1909. It was in 2013.

If it was successful alcohol would have been treater closer to how cigarettes are treated (so not really a ban and the Britain wouldn't have gone teetotal, but its a good title).

It was back in around March of this year when the there was a call for all advertising of alcohol to be banned, and the products have a mimimum price to push up prices.

For those of you who watch Doctor Who will know what I'm talking about.

Had this sentence stuck in my head for a while.

Don't know what to make of it.

What do you think?

Just thought this would be a good something to listen/share and of course to help us remember those involved in all the horrible stuff going on around the world. Never forgotten for sure. <3

I found this article really interesting and thought someone on here might find it useful if not interesting too:

Quote:

Islam has imposed high standards for how the Muslim who follows the methodology of the Prophetic Sunnah (tradition) should deal with his brother who has differed with him on an issue of 'Ijtihaad' (exercise of independent judgment in matters that have no specific mention in the Quran or Sunnah).

How outstanding is the statement of the Messenger of Allaah  [sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention )]  :"Indeed I have been sent to perfect noble manners." [Reported by Al-Bukhaari in Al-Adabul-Mufrad]

From these manners are:

Since it is kicking off over there, I thought its a good topic to blog about.

In my typical style, it will be without research. People are free to correct any factual errors, disagree with opinions etc. That is what the internet is for.

Before Bangladesh there was East Pakistan. and before then whatever India as a whole was called. I assume it was called India.

The British managed to get control over all of it but the people there wanted independence.

Some wanted a United India, others saw pitfalls in that.

Without rehashing the whole argument, in the end it was divided into two countries - Pakistan and India. This blog is not about India.

So Mr Iain Duncan Smith has stated on Radio that he can survive on £53 a week. I think he should try it. For a prolonged period of time.

While having to live a week or two or a short period of time on such a figure is doable, especially if you have help and support from family and friends, if it is long term or if you are the breadwinner, it is nothing short of a disaster.

For a responsible person paying their way, living on £53 a week is not enough to live a dignified life.

I'd like him to try living on that amoung without handouts and charity for a meaningful amount of time so that he can see the codswallop that he talks for what it is.
