Laura Hall can't drink in England/Wales - Page 2

John Humphrys is one of the presenters of BBC Radio 4's 'Today'.
He is a seasoned interviewer who regularly has a bit of a dust up with politicians of every stripe and hue just after the 8am news.
However, on occasions they let him out of the building to report on various topics. Last week he filed a substantial report on binge drinking in UK town centres and it forms the basis of this article in the Daily Telegraph. It provides some context for the Laura Hall case.

It’s Saturday night, and Britain reaches for the bottle. John Humphrys reports.........

I have common sense. And I'm pretty sure the other Brit posters here have consistency (I can't claim that one for myself with my hand on my heart).

Still, if you really believe the country is that far gone you can always emigrate. I mean I'd hate for you to have a place in the handbasket with the rest of us heading for hell

Every generation believes the country is getting worse and that we're going to hell in a handbasket. Yea, even unto the Middle Ages. Right down to the complaints about feral youth and drunken yobs.

Does the British government understand that they're making it harder and harder for guys like me to find girls like her in a bar?

Never allow yourself to be second best.

You are much hotter and better than that.
