Wow! This is really crazy:
Alcohol is haram, or forbidden, to Muslims. As London is above the national average for alcohol-related deaths in males, with 17.6 per 100,000 people (Camden has 31.6 per 100,000 males), turning all the city’s pubs into juice bars would have a massive positive effect on public health. Forbid alcohol throughout the country, and you’d avoid many of the 22,000 alcohol-related deaths and the £7.3 billion national bill for alcohol-related crime and disorder each year.
I reserve the right to shoot any officer of the Islamic Caliphate who dares come to confiscate my beer tap. And I will too! There are some lines you just don’t cross :)
The day they ban booze in London is the day I renounce my English heritage and embrace my IBM (Italian By Marriage) status. To the Italians, if drinking is wrong, they don’t want to be right.
Didn’t we try that here? If I recall correctly, it didn’t go so well.
And yes; they come for my whiskey, they better be well armed.
