"Drunken yobs cause carnage in cities across the country"

Gotta love our family across the sea:

"Christmas carnage kicks off across Britain as drunken revellers stretch emergency services to the limit

Drunken yobs cause carnage in cities across the country
Calls to 999 skyrocket as drinkers fight and fall over
Army-style triage units in street to deal with chaos
£500,000 emergency centre just for drunks set up in London

By Daily Mail Reporter

PUBLISHED:09:39 EST, 16 December 2012| UPDATED: 11:18 EST, 16 December 2012

A young woman dressed in next to nothing lies prostrate on a soaking pavement, one of thousands of binge-drinking revellers who caused chaos on Britain's streets on 'Black Friday'.

With just nine days until Christmas, hordes of party-goers ignored the driving rain and freezing conditions to pack out pubs, bars and clubs on festive parties, and many were so drunk they could barely stand.

In scenes of carnage repeated across the country, women stumbled in the middle of the road and yobs fought in and outside bars, while some thugs hurled rubbish at each other.

An Irishman isn't drunk until he has to hold onto the grass to keep from falling off the Earth.

Sounds like fun. (Notice the lack of drunken shooting sprees..)

Regards,

Why do you hate Christmas, Pete? Half a million pounds buys a lot of booze, are you jealous?
So many drunks and so few guns and thugs throwing rubbish? Sounds like paradise....just wait until they ban soccer hooliganism.
