From: Maurice Bethell, Kilham. Yorkshire Post.
HOW many readers are like myself, totally fed up with the woolly liberal and spineless leaders in today’s society?
As far I am aware, “being drunk and disorderly in a public place” is still an offence in law. If I am correct why is the law not being applied?
Perhaps the Government could implement a trial in a town where binge drinking is a serious problem whereby a large holding pen could be built.
This would have placement for about 20 persons in a communal cell with a cold water wash basin and a couple of open toilets. Then any person, male or female, arrested on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday evening could be incarcerated and paraded before a magistrates court on a Monday afternoon after 2pm. Any guilty verdict could be a fine of £500 or three months detention.
I am sure this would halt a lot of the young binge drinkers, especially if they were to also lose their employment as a result of failing to turn up for work on the Monday.
