Nanny State Britain: Boris Johnson to Introduce Junk Food Credit Score App
Breitbart ^ | 07/26/2021 | Kurt Zindulka

Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to launch a communist China-style social credit score app that will reward families based on government-approved choices at the grocery store.

The supposedly Conservative government will launch an app by the end of the year to monitor the supermarket spending habits of families in the UK. Those who choose “healthier” options such as fruits and vegetables or engage in exercise will be rewarded with “loyalty points” in the app, which will translate into discounts and other incentives.

“Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to launch a communist China-style social credit score app that will reward families based on government-approved choices at the grocery store.”

They’re already doing that here is Washington State which started in 2010. They are doing it the cheap way though by not giving you a score card. They are just taxing the hell out of you with what they call the candy tax.

“According to Washington state, which just approved a candy tax, candy is a preparation of sugar, honey or other natural or artificial sweeteners combined with chocolate, fruits, nuts or other ingredients or flavorings, and formed into bars, drops or pieces.”

Social Credit Score! Coming to a Dictatorship near you. The time has come comrades to sacrifice for your nation. To snitch out friends, relatives and family members and pledge allegiance to the Deep State.

The government views the public as animals that need training.

Will those who don’t choose the healthier options be dunned with “disloyalty” points? And if so, will there be show trials for people with lots of disloyalty points?

I would think there would be. Governments don’t like disloyal people.

Xi is proud of Boris. He homes Biden does the same.


And we thought Bloomberg was bad trying to ban the Big Gulp.

Bojo isn’t exactly a picture of health. Maybe he should set the example first?

“...meet the meat tax...”

They gotta tax something up here as they have no state income tax (YET) and a lot of failing roads in a volcanic area to include a couple of faults.

A major business up here is leveling houses by injecting cement under them to raise parts of the foundation and driveways when they start to sink.
