And another one....

A report out today has highlighted (what a surprise) that the relaxation of drinking laws in other countries has had a "had a negative impact on health, crime and safety".

Did we really need a survey to tell us this? Come on - you only have to go to certain town and city centres to see the effects that excess alcohol has. And the Government's answer - oh lets just let pubs open longer.

The Government wants to create a cafe culture in our towns and cities. Well you do that by opening more cafes - not by opening pubs longer. Another issue we need to be calling the Government to account on.
