Angry, bewildered and shame-faced these Edwardian drunks stare into the lens of the police camera. They were 'habitual drunkards' whose offences included being caught while in charge of a horse, carriage and even a steam engine. Issued a century ago, the drunks were given the equivalent of modern-day Asbos in that they were banned from being served in pubs because of their past behaviour.
Information was compiled by the Watch Committee of the City of Birmingham, which was set up by the police to enforce the Licensing Act of 1902. The act was passed in an attempt to deal with public drunks, giving police the power to apprehend those found drunk in any public place and unable to take care of themselves.

“”An Anti-Social Behaviour Order, ASBO, is a civil order made against a person who has been shown, on the balance of evidence, to have engaged in anti-social behaviour in the United Kingdom and in the Republic of Ireland [1]. The orders, designed originally by Tony Blair in 1998[2], were designed to be imposed after minor incidents that would not ordinarily warrant prosecution[3]. The orders then restrict behavior in some way, by prohibiting a return to a certain area or shop, or by restricting public behavior such as swearing or drinking. As the ASBO is a civil order, the defendant has no right to evidence that might disprove the assertions of the plaintiff, though violating an ASBO can incur up to five years imprisonment. In the UK, there has been criticism that an ASBO is sometimes viewed as a badge of honour by youth. Many see the ASBO connected with young delinquents.[4]””

Not only is he a Moran, he’s a tube drawer.
Tough times. I could look at more of those.
“Polisher” means flatterer as in “apple polisher.”

An ancestor of Lorena Bobbitt, no doubt.

Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola ...
A hundred years from now, good Citizens will be laughing at mugshots of conservatives rounded up for “thought crimes” and transported to one of Obama’s re-education camps.
