The latest absurd outbreak of political correctness is that an organic bottle-conditioned beer produced by former F1 racing driver Jody Scheckter has been banned by the Portman Group (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2224244/F1-racing-stars-organic-ale-banned--son-designed-label.html) because the label includes a child’s drawing, so the beer is alleged to “appeal to children”. I thought that “Challenge 75” was supposed to deal with the problem of underage purchases. Next they’ll be complaining about Badger ales (http://www.badgerales.com/) featuring winsome animals.
Anyway, plain packaging for alcohol will resolve all these issues...
