A UK ban on TV junk food ads before 9 p.m.—and a total ban for online ads—takes effect today. Really!

Once a beacon of individual liberty, the decline of the UK continues since Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher!

How lousy is Prime Minister Keir Starmer?

Such nonsense government prohibitions are a sure Road to Serfdom!

No lessons learnt from the many failed ad bans on alcohol and tobacco products in the 20th century by Western countries! 

Notice also the Orwellian language used like "less healthy food". What the heck is that!!!

"... as part of a wider effort to tackle childhood obesity; the Advertising Standards Authority [???] will serve as the watchdog and enforcer for the bans. ..."

"... From 5 January 2026, ads for “identifiable” less healthy food and drink products will be banned from appearing:
  • on television between 5:30am and 9:00pm 
  • in on-demand programme services between 5:30am and 9:00pm  
  • in paid online media at any time
..."
