The BBC asks are we are living in a nanny state? In the article, my classical liberal stance is described as ‘ultra-libertarian’ while a ‘conservative’ makes the Orwellian argument that bans give people more choice. It’s a pretty good illustration of how much the centre of gravity has moved in this debate over the years. Do have a read of it.
Meanwhile the government wants to regulate pizza toppings. Only an ultra-libertarian could disagree!

I'm surprised you didn't mention this little snippet
"Christopher Snowdon, of the Institute for Economic Affairs, a free market think tank which is reported to have received funding from the tobacco industry..."
The Beeb seem to think the Institute is a shill for the tobacco industry :D
LOL
