LONDON - CAPITAL OF THE "LIVER CZAR"
FROM LONDON SUCKS BLOG
London is the capital of the only developed country in the world - with an increase in liver disease from drinking.
IN LONDON TOWNE, NO LOVE FOR YOU, ACTUALLY
FROM THE IMDB LOVE ACTUALLY FORUM
For me, one of the most telling facts, that shows that London is but is no longer the London that it was, is something that occurred after the London rail and bus bombings.
Thousands of Londoners who usually commuted, walked out of the City/commercial centres. From all reports, these people were determined to show that the cheerful, resilient nature of Londoners had not changed, since the Blitz.
...
However, other attitudes had changed. As the tired thirsty people were to discover. There were a number of hotels and shops along the way who capitalised on the disaster by putting up the prices of drinks.
This is, I suppose, a small thing compared with the ghastly statistics of teenagers knifing each other. But that such a thing should happen in the London that I love is almost beyond my comprehension. It shows a callousness, a greed, a lack of human kindness. Not in the depraved, or in the deprived. But in the ordinary, supposedly-decent "shopkeepers" who epitomise the English.

BOUNCERS IN BLIGHTY - NOW WITH POLICE POWERS
Private security companies that employ nightclub bouncers are being licensed to issue on-the-spot fines under a huge extension of police-style powers to accredited civilians.
Magistrates are incensed about the scheme, which now has more than 1,400 people enrolled across England and Wales to issue fines for offences from dog fouling to public disorder.
They are lodging a protest with Jack Straw, the Justice Secretary, amid concerns that guards will have a “gung-ho” approach to issuing fines. A private security companiy in Norfolk is the latest group to be accredited to issue instant fines.
The company, Norwich-based EventGuard, has won accreditation for the first 25 of its employees to help police with antisocial behaviour and to issue fixed penalties. The company manages crowds and traffic at high-profile events such as the Royal Norfolk Show but also carries out “door supervision”.
