Alcohol-fuelled violence and loutish behaviour has become the modern-day 'plague' of Britain, a top judge warned today.
District Judge Alan Berg said young women, in particular, who were intent on getting 'senselessly drunk,' were behind a dramatic escalation of mindless violence on the nation's streets. Mr Berg spoke out just days after jailing high-flying university student, Melissa Massey, 20, for a booze-fuelled attack on a female paramedic. The judge branded Massey a 'drunken barbarian' and said he had no choice but to imprison her to try and curb the growing tide of barbaric behaviour in city centres.
Quite right too. I don't want to sound like an OLD FART, but as someone in their 50s, I am concerned about going out for a drink in our towns and cities. FUCK ME! It's a bit much when you can't go out for a drink with your wife, without worrying constantly about some drunken yob who feels you looked at him the wrong way! GLASGOW, which I know in particular is a nightmare. For too long our COURTS have accepted the excuse that someone who has been arrested was drunk. Well, who's fault is that? Most people go out with the intention of getting pissed and I sorry you guys who bleat about MINIMUM ALCOHOL PRICING, but they are tanked up on CHEAP SUPERMARKET DRINK before they go out, which only exacerbates the problem.
NO LONGER, SHOULD BEING DRUNK BE TAKEN AS AN EXCUSE. PEOPLE HAVE TO TAKE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR OWN LIVES.
