alcohol, violence and pikeys

[expat]

What is the problem with alcohol and violence? Surely it is the violence.


What is the solution? Not alcohol tax, licensing hours, or alcohol bans: but rather stopping the violence, however it is caused. Police on streets, arrests, consequences, etc.

Why are they drinking so much in the first place ?

No jobs, no future, no hope.

It's a spiral.

When you are surrounded by poo, and everything in the uk is poo, is it little wonder that some of it sticks and drags you down ?

Nail the root causes...not the after effects.

First they came for the smokers,
and I did not speak out -because I was not a smoker.
Then they came for the obese,
and I did not speak out -because I was not obese.
Then they came for the alcoholics,
and I did not speak out -because I was not an alcoholic.
Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak for me.

Computer games.

After I've been to the pub. And then always in cheat mode as I get killed way too easily.

You?

How about Freemasonry, being a local councillor, a trainee JP and doing volunteer work in the local community?

Will that do?
