Don Shenker of Alcohol Concern is an irritating, simplistic member of that class which wholly believes that 'the innocent must be attacked and even punished in order to capture the guilty.'He complains bitterly that litre bottles of spirits will be on sale in supermarkets in the runup to Christmas at a mere £15!
Does he not realise that for literally millions of people, this rare treat is already beyond them? - No rum and cokes at their house this year!
He complains of alcohol-related crime as if this is committed by most of the population when in fact, it is a tiny minority.
This problem would be both targeted and properly resolved by the simple expedient of severely punishing the guilty - a thought which has apparently not even crossed his mind!
