For an elite to succeed it must control the masses. In the UK Labor has found a way--alcoholism.

scenes of charmless vulgarity, in which thousands of scantily clad, lumpen sluts scream drunkenly, and men vomit proudly in the gutters.
And here I thought this was about College campuses.

As to the suggestion that we might develop here the kind of civilised Mediterranean café culture if only drinking outlets were open long enough, you might as well preach
the comforts of the igloo and the tastiness of whale blubber to the Masai of Kenya.
LOL damn drunken limeys!

Mostly I think they get Drunk so they can eat.

The Government, whose solution to any social problem is to make it worse
Why can't our major newspapers write like that?

The legislation attempts to address a serious problem, that all pubs close at around the same time, and most clubs close at around the same time outside large cities, leading to a huge flow of people into the street.
Realistically, most licenced places will take advantage of the regulations to open later at weekends, or a few nights a week. Not many places will stay open 24 hours a day. This should lead to less of a rush to get drunk as fast as possible, and with any luck reduce the number of people on the street at any one point late at night.

Good article. Socialism at it's best: "Therefore, let them drink alco-pops. Then they will be dependent upon us."

But is it too un-pc of me to still laugh at the Soccer Hooligans?

They do, if it is a proposed Republican solution to a problem they like indulging in.
Remember Welfare Reform?

Yeah, I'd have to be very drunk to eat kidney pie or jellied eels...
To: shrinkermd
Frankly, I don't think it's a legitimate use of government to mandate when any private business opens or closes.

You are missing one of the world's great food treats by forgoing steak and kidney pie (or pudding). British food is generally bland, overcooked and very uninteresting, but they do a few things well and that is one of them.
