Drunk in a highway? £40 please. or a night in the cells and £80.
Mace is what they need.
As for paying for the cost of the police, well its already farmed out to security companies, with the 1000's of people coming into places like Manchester the police could never cope without the security companies.
Rich drunkwards, as always, are perfectly fucking acceptable.
I agree they hurt the poor more than the rich. But you'd have to be rolling in it not to notice £100 every week.
As for punishing the poor, we'd remove from the problem a sector of society, which would allow the police to deal with other problems surely?
Why?
I can't see there being as many problems because instead of everybody coming out of the clubs or pubs at the same time, they'll be coming out at different times. So maybe there will be less fights outside the clubs.
perhaps then as there's no limit to last orders people will drink slower too? Plus more money spent on beer & more taxes in...
I'm really neither for or against it... I'd hate to work all night, in fact I'd refuse... also most place won't be able to afford it. What kind of sad prick goes out to get pissed at 7am anyway?
this is what i do. this is why i think the 24 hour law will be good.
Agreed, choice is often an important factor in human behaviour.
Because I can't always get a drink when I want one. I'm an adult, I should be allowed to buy alcohol whenever I want.
If I've been clubbing or partying all night, I quite like a drink at 7am.
i was on the bus into town saturday night. on the way i saw 2 ambulances, 3 police vans and 2 cars (on separate occasions). this was at 10.30. :eek2:
most clubs/bars kick out at 2ish, i think theres one club with a 24hr license (sankeys) and even they dont use it, just the occasional allnighter every now and then. you can imagine how many people there are in the city centre. the police are never going to be able to manage it.
the council have been toying with going 24 hours for a while now, think they need approval from some important people(not sure). i cant really see how it can be a bad idea.
where did this british drinking culture come from anywho?
with places having 24 hours drinking would stop all the confrontation at 11pm and 1am that almost is the only time with violence
