Let's fiddle while Rome burns.

The way alcohol is sold in airports is to be examined after a number of recent incidents involving drunk passengers.

New aviation minister Lord Ahmad said he did not want to "kill merriment altogether", but to make sure the system to stop drunk travellers getting through airport departures was working.

Figures show (.....) people were held on suspicion of being drunk at an airport or on a plane in the last two years.


Anyone care to take a guess at the missing figure? It's a grand total of 442. Also note ' Held on suspicion', not 'charged with.'

Meanwhile, the country is full of criminals, illegal invaders, terrorists, drug dealers. Nigerian scammers, Jamaican Yardies, French and other undesirables.

Aren't the priorities wrong?

Be reasonable, Cape.
Think about how hard it is to catch any of your list.
Killing 'merriment', on the other hand... :-?

Lord Tariq Mahmood Ahmad*?
Couldn't possibly be a muslim and opposed to alcohol could he?
I'll give you two guesses; you'll only need one.

This guy isn't a fiddler, he's a guy with a box of matches in his back pocket.

Not to be confused with Lord Ahmad of Rotherham, who killed a man on the M1 when texting whilst driving, went to jail, got suspended from the Labour Party for anti-semitism for blaming Jews for the death (wtf??), then resigned, but still sits in the House of Lords. And is also a muslim.

Baroness Warsi has reportedly turned down requests to take over the Democratic Nomination in place of Hillary,and to be Playmate of the Millenium.
