So their strategy to discourage alchohol abuse is to give the most drunk individuals an alternative to expensive taxi fares...it's because of thinking like that Britain's a bit of a joke on the world stage these days.

Well at least they're in their own country getting drunk or whatever. When England entered any European or international soccer event the game was secondary to the pre and post match fighting. There doesn't appear as much of that today, or it isn't reported.  Better not speak too soon!

Is this really how you want to spend your days, in a unintelligible drunken stupor? You can see the thought processes in the facial expression, blank as a block.
