Steven Posted 11 October 2014 Posted 11 October 2014 Leicester backs city-wide alcohol ban http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-29582510
Unabomber Posted 11 October 2014 Posted 11 October 2014 Nothing wrong with alcohol and a good piss up imo.
lgfualol Posted 11 October 2014 Posted 11 October 2014 Good. I'm always the guy that the public drinking drunk people in Leicester want to talk to for some reason.
DeclanMC Posted 11 October 2014 Posted 11 October 2014 This kind of thing pisses me off. So if I fancy a can of beer on the walk to the football of a saturday, not harming anyone, some copper can come and ask me to get rid of it? Why not just crack down on those actually causing disturbances.
Raj Posted 11 October 2014 Posted 11 October 2014 good. cant stand pissed up folk thinking they are either hard or funny!!!
Rincewind Posted 11 October 2014 Posted 11 October 2014 They have changed the wording to the rules about drinking in the street. It is not against the law to sit on a bench and have a drink. A colleage downloaded the new rules and a part of it says where it would LIKELY lead to a public disturbance. So it is now up to the police what constitutes as a threat. The on the spot fine has been doubled. Non payment means appearance in court and imprisonment. Considering there are now no AA facilities this will mean an extra buren on the prison service or A&E. Funding has been cut for support services so the serious street drinkers have nowhere to go during the day. But I expect you know this already.

Political correctness gone mad.

lavrentis Posted 11 October 2014 Posted 11 October 2014 always get loads of polish drinking on the streets
rico Posted 11 October 2014 Posted 11 October 2014 About time,might stop all the out of work people (mainly Eastern Europeans)who can be seen sitting around all day drinking and leaving their empty cans and bottles everywhere

Of the plus side if drinking on the street gets you thrown in prison, at least they won't be homeless anymore.
ScouseFox Posted 11 October 2014 Posted 11 October 2014 so you can get done for getting drunk in the park? man what is wrong with your county
johnny the fox Posted 11 October 2014 Posted 11 October 2014 Allah will be pleased!!! Well that cushions the blow for me..
Harry - LCFC Posted 11 October 2014 Posted 11 October 2014 It's already an arrestable offence to be drunk and disorderly - that is the point when intervention is necessary, not just the act of drinking itself.

So if I fancy a can of beer on the walk to the football of a saturday, not harming anyone, some copper can come and ask me to get rid of it?

Rincewind Posted 11 October 2014 Posted 11 October 2014 Discretion according to the police. You could be with group of friends chatting and having a quiet drink and could be fined or arrested if a police officer believes that it could lead to you being drunk and disorderly. And if Moose was in the uniform he would assume you were also homeless.

How dare you suggest that we don't tar everyone with the same brush when it's so obviously the most sensible way to deal with problems.
