Just been watching Streets of Rage: Caught on Camera.
If you haven't seen it, it showed drunks doing what drunks do on our streets, including some quite vicious and prolonged physical assaults. They also gave details about drunks' attendance levels in hospital casualty departments which, apparently, account for 70% of all attendances between midnight and 5am. Then came the details of 'punishments', including those who had caused lasting physical damage to their victims and received, for their efforts, ridiculuously lenient sentences - some getting away without any punishment at all.
What is wrong with this country today? And who was it who had the bright idea that just because Europeans can drink responsibly all night, the British yob should also benefit from unlimited bar opening hours? (Rhetorical question.)
