Carts & Horses


Britain is faced with an epidemic of drunken young louts downing 18 pints of lager in an evening and then going on mindless, vomit-spumed rampages of smashing and yelling in the High Street. The solution?
Middle-class wine drinkers will be the focus of government plans to make drunkenness as socially unacceptable as smoking, The Times has learnt
Classic Blairite solution: When faced with a violent, recalcitrant enemy, go after the harmless and law-abiding. They're a softer target.

According to Vivienne Nathanson, the head of science and ethics at the BMA,
It is not the nanny state.
Translation:
It is the nanny state
