I can hardly believe this wasn't already banned

BoJo the Clown ! Good one Lucy !

No, that's BoZo!

[Board Game Geek]

True, but BoJo fits even better !

It's one thing banning it and another implementing the ban. Short of searching people upon entering the tube station how will they now if I have 6 cans of Stella on me?

Boris would do well to reintroduce ticket inspectors on buses and get a policeman assigned to every underground train (pref 1 per carriage ).

Hopefully though, he will introduce zero tolerance! Deal with crime now, instead of in 10 years time when the little scrote is a hardened criminal!

Where do you live? Do you mind if we ahem 'adjust' the council tax appropriately to fund this excellent suggestion?

So, now I am to be criminalised for enjoying a little snifter on the tube on the way home because some lout cannot control himself?

I want my vote back.

This will be policed by?

Another pointless one size fits all rule that can't be enforced. The cops will throw the book at easy targets just making more criminals of more decent people, like a single person quietly having a pre-pub drink on a long journey. But faced with 30 pissed rowdy fooyball supporters what will they do? Look the other way of course.

The main problem is a minority of troublemakers, some of who happened to be p!ssed. Tackle them and you solve the problem. But that's a bit to difficult for our useless police and legislators.

Yes. Next.

Yes, that's how things are done now. Easier to ban an activity completely than to do identify the actual problem and do something about that.

Edit: Turion is right too, often these rulebooks get thrown at the easy targets, who may not be those actually doing wrong.

This is easy to enforce with heavily-armed tube staff. For anyone with a beer can, it is a shoot to kill policy. The only problem I can see is spillage, but we could employ a couple of the turkeys on here to suck up the slops.
