Licensing Laws and 'Yob Culture'
Tacked onto the end of a piece in the Metro about the failed last ditch attempt by the killjoys, sorry, I mean Tories, to stop the new licensing laws was this:
"Meanwhile, a study claimed that yob culture and binge drinking were to blame for an increase in crime against businesses.
"The poll of almost 1,000 companies showed more than half blamed yob culture for crimes including burglary, assault and santi-social behaviour."
They don't even have the decency to use quotes around 'yob culture', as if it's some well-known scientific term. But that aside, what the fuck does that mean? A bunch of business are convinced something they clearly have no real knowledge about causes something else? A vague load of bollocks presented as serious journalism.
Gah!
