24-hour licensing fails to cut drunken violence, report finds

Well duh. Only the gov could produce something as utterly stupid as to increase the available time for drinking, and expect it to reduce the amount people (partic young, cash rich, low responsibility, highly sexed lads and laddettes commonly seen in town centres onSaturday night) drink, just like they do in Europe. No thought given to the fact that the whole drinking culture in Europe is completely different.

Plus, it's cost millions more in police, hospital and general clean up and repair time.

Another shining example of expecting the facts to fit the reality, an d being surprised when they don't.
