Guest   #28 Posted August 6, 2019 Simple solution- if you're drunk, disorderly or under the influence of drugs then bugger off.  No NHS service for people like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

hauxwell   243 #31 Posted August 6, 2019 It seems to be fashionable to use containers as pubs, we have got them in Gateshead and Newcastle. You could put a few empty containers with plastic air beds next to A&E for all of the drunks, with security occasionally checking to make sure they don’t choke on their vomit. The health professionals can then carry on with their job dealing with genuine people.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
