Some EVIL bastards, yesterday
Following on from Leg Irons excellent piece below, it now appears that the Police will “take action” against licenced premises selling the evil drink to people at £1. I kid you not.
Pubs and clubs in a Leicestershire town are being urged not to sell cut-price alcohol, as part of a police campaign to discourage bad behaviour.
Venues in Loughborough are being asked to keep drinks prices above £1.50.
Sgt Andy Thornley said “irresponsible” promotions, in which spirits are sold for as little as £1, can cause young people to drink too much and misbehave.
The officer also warned that bars running irresponsible drinks promotion “could face action and penalties“.
I wonder when the Police will stop the sale of petrol to people who might drive too fast?
