I don’t see any “quick fixes” either. It’s been pretty much as the programme depicted for years, it’s become habitual and part of a way of life for many. |
Re: Blackburn tonight
Only when the last pub shuts will the problem end
The alkies will then be giving their neighbours aggro instead At least it disperses the problem so we all get a bit :rolleyes: |

Re: Blackburn tonight
I used to enjoy the pub social scene too.
There have always been some people who overdrink, get aggressive on it, and spoil it for the rest. They now are more concentrated into the fewer pubs that are left, so that trouble is no longer occasional but inevitable. Apart from the shoplifting druggies on that programme, all the people causing hassle were drunk. The people who can't behave under the influence of alcohol should be given an injection which will cause any alcohol intake to make them violently sick. I know that some will consider this as a breach of their civil liberties, but it will be cheaper than free board in an HMP holiday camp, where they will have NO liberty |
Re: Blackburn tonight

Re: Blackburn tonight
The whole issue of drink-fuelled disorder is just part of the wider problem about how we pussyfoot around thugs, criminals and various other undesirables in this country.
However, I would agree that the big breweries have a lot to answer for. This whole problem started way back in the late 60's when the breweries realised that youngsters had a lot of disposable income which they were spending on clothes, records and in unlicensed outlets like coffee bars. They decided to cynically go for that market with the end result that we now have town centre bars which are basically teenage gin palaces. And they have fuelled the problem with their cheap drink offers aimed at inticing youngsters to drink far more than they can handle. The government should initiate a twin approach - crack down on the drinks industry and crack down on the thugs. They won't though, because it's a valuable source of tax revenue and, as Jambutty said in another thread, the licensed trade has a strong lobby in parliament...and because the end effects of the problem don't actually affect them, away in their tax-payer funded ivory towers. :( |
Re: Blackburn tonight
But it isn't just in Britain is it? There was a programme on R4 the other day that was reporting an increase in this kind of behaviour in other European capitals. I can't remember the full list, but France and Germany were two countries that were expressing concerns.
