Not quite a piss-up in a brewery

In a move that is as surprising as sunrise and inevitable as gravity, some people have decided to hold a protest against the booze ban. Glitterditch enjoys a good piss-up as much as the next ASBO-grabbing alkie, but we're thinking that this idea is pretty ridiculous.

We've already made it quite clear that we're anti tube drinking, if only because there are much better places to enjoy a cold one than pressed up into the armpits of a be-suited stranger. It is for the same reasons that we avoid Liverpool Street pubs of a weekday evening.

And much as we want to rant and rail and tell the protesters what complete cretins they are, point out not only that drunken tube parties have already been done to death, but that you're unlikely to come across as anything other than a twat, we will refrain. We won't even try to assert that getting pissed on the circle line is a dubious way to crowbar your way into a political debate.

Because if these people are really intent on preventing the new law from coming into force, then who are we to stop them? We'll offer them a bit of advice, just to show our goodwill. So listen carefully, tube-drinking political incompetents:

Protests work better if you're not all slammed.

You're welcome.
