An article published today on BBC news piqued my interest. Normally I refrain from delving into any nation’s politics aside from my own, but this was too good to pass up. The piece details a new Drinking Banning Order that bans those with the nasty habit of behaving 'anti-socially' or criminally while drinking.

Oh my. The people of England and Wales are going to have a good time with this one. It is amazing to me that the powers that be, wherever they are, haven't yet realized that the only thing that keeps the blue collar mass (that I am proud to be part of) in check is their ability to drown out the day in booze. I'm almost be tempted to run straight down to Vegas and put good money on the odds of revolt, if I knew that anyone would actually follow the ordinance.
Still, it makes me chuckle.
