Tories to jail teenage drinkers


Via Liberal England


The Conservative Home site has released a statement this morning claiming that


that under-age children who try to buy alcohol illegally are going unpunished.
Over a million youths are refused alcohol in pubs every month, and there were a further 300,000 refusals from one off-licence chain alone last year.
But fewer than a hundred individuals a year are punished for trying to buy alcohol illegally, meaning there is less than a 1 in 100,000 chance of under-age youths receiving any sanction whatsoever

Never would have gone through with Mr. Blair, what with his kids and everything!
