Big Society Watches Your Drinking

Dave took the time to launch his vision of the ‘Big Society’ just ahead of the parliamentary recess. Beneath the Obama-lite rhetoric and calls for a legion of volunteers to run services was a message: it’s time to cut back the state and let individuals take control of their own lives.  So far, so good. But can the Tories resist the urge to centralise and regulate now that they are in power?

Behind the paywall at The Times, Deputy Mayor of London Kit Malthouse has been expounding on the ‘need’ for state intervention to combat alcohol consumption. The chief of the Met Police authority suggests twice daily alcohol testing for problem drinkers with “intensive monitoring and enforcement to ensure compliance”.

He gleefully explains what happens to those who dare breach a prohibition order in a similar scheme run in the backwoods of South Dakota: “The sanction is immediate and certain – straight into the cells, no argument, no court, no lawyers.” Very ominous.

If Malthouse persists with his plan then Guido knows just the location to try out the new policy: a little upstream from City Hall, at a place where subsidised booze flows freely, disorder is common and employees are regularly drunk while at work. It’s hard to imagine that heavy-drinking MP’s would take kindly to being breathalysed.

      This Malthouse cove looks morbidly obese to me. Shouldn’t he be locked up, no argument, straight to the cells, for his well being, until he is the “correct” weight?
      Of course upon release, he should be monitored daily and his calorie and fat intake observed, so he can be hauled back inside if he eats too many fries in a month. These people are beyond parody, they are mentally ill.

          You can’t be TaT he says spastics, not mongs.
          You fucking retard.

          But what an excellent idea Kit ‘The Fascist’ Malthouse has come up with -
          We can kill two birds with one stone here: 17% of MPs are dependent on the devil’s brew so that means we can lock them up and cut the number of MPs by 17%.
          Result!

          Also it raises the question: should MPs, or any public figure for that matter, be allowed to vote when they are inebriated?
          Of course they shouldn’t. They must be sober when voting on laws.
          So the logical conclusion to that would mean all MPs must be breathalysed and drug tested prior to voting.
          If they are doped up or pissed they should be barred from voting.

      You have the freedom to take your bloated liver to a private doctor. Simple as that. Why am I being charged by the NHS to pay for the drinking habits of someone else?

      “We as a country have a drink problem” – bollocks, part 1 – if I choose to drink, that doesn’t mean I have a problem – and, more important, it doesn’t mean you have a problem, since you’re not me.

      “So how do you address the problem without taking away freedoms?” – bollocks, part 2 – how do you have any freedoms at all if those of an authoritarian persuasion repeatedly lower the severity of “problems” that form a pretext for taking freedom away?

      Summary justice doesn’t sound that good – at least the more authoritarian old Tories of yore had some grasp of the principles of common law. With all of the Nu Lab Law-n-Order/Public Order/Criminal Justice acts, the Police could do practically anything if the Home Secretary/Mayor allowed it.

    Bureaucracy is still out of control and power crazy. Civil freedoms are endangered and in local government cuts are to `services` not to staff.

    Do not feed the Mongs

    Feeding the Mongs is not allowed as can and often does cause them to fight. Some Mongs are bigger than others and will try to force their ways and opinions on the smaller Mongs. For example if you were to say to a Conservative Mong “Labour did some good things”. The Conservative Mong would become enraged and attack anyone close by, it would very quickly assimilate into a pack and they would tear the smaller Mong to shreds. This is why we ask you never to feed the Mongs.Mongs, though thick and stupid have a tribal pack instinct to keep electing honourable members and will quickly turn on each other or anyone passing by that points out this idiosyncrasy.So please Do Not feed The Mongs.

I’d get the hell out of this town if I could actually drive too, but I’ve failed every damn test I’ve ever taken. I’m socially awkward, even my only other co-worker fucking hates my guts. I have repressed lust for one of my best friends too; she’s athletic, smart and a gorgeous southern bell. I love her. You know what it’s like; I’ve been friend zoned real hard. She’s my only real friend, besides this one kid, who I’m pretty sure is only hanging around me because he is mentally challenged. I guess he’s the only one that can tolerate me. And what makes this all fucking worse is that I live in a fucking pineapple under the sea.

    Welcome to the city drinkers.
    Welcome one and all. remember drinking is fun and good for enjoyment. But there is a law about drinking too much. You are allowed to drink your unit quantity per week. If you have chosen to make tonight your unit week then you have a legal amount that you can inbibe, if founf over that limit you will be fined on a first offence of 500 pounds and or 6 months imprisonment.

    Ok. were did it all go wrong. Maggie,hated and blamed by bitterness was not the cause or the symptom. The reality as ever was everyone wanted what they wanted all at the same time. And giving them it . That was the problem and the solution. Too much oppression needed an excess of freedom. Freedom is for all means rights for those that should not have them,like cops killing or rapists raping. But it was a drug induced time of growing up sideways. Information overload was not the word to describe the internet and computing. Children, remember them little humans we forgot to guide and left to the web.Who now are semi adult and almost in control. it was too fast for all but the most savvy. God help all the rest.

    scamming scouse gutter filth says:

    This fat fucking trash from Liverpool, Kit Malthouse, is a founding director of Alpha Strategic PLC (2006) and still remains a director.

    The company stinks. It’s a pig-in-the-middle between small investors and hedge funds (aggregating small investments into the minimum stakes required from hedge funds [£250,000 or thereabouts]).

    There last financial shows £939,000 admin expenses yet only £11,000 for plant and equipment.

    It looks to me like the fuckers are making almost £1 million a year clear, for having some minimum wage cow sat their one and only computer typing a standard letter to the sad greedy/gullible investors, for a few hours each year, lying about how new year they will be rolling in dosh, and need to invest more.

    There is only a few hours work to do in this fucking company – just open accounts with proper hedge funds with investors money, after keeping a large slice of it for doing fuck-all.

    Kit Malthouse is nasty cynical fat cu-nt running something on the same lines as a boiler room scam.

    Your take on this is bollox.

    The idea is that if offenders are disorderly etc the court can sentence them to sobriety for a period. Every day they have to go to the police station twice and have a breath test. Any alcohol in their system and its off to the cells for 24 hours. No show and its off to gaol for a day.

    This is an alternative to prison and seems to me a brilliant idea for some of the scum who fill our streets with vomit every night.
