Boris to Enforce New Booze Ban

While watching "The Daily Show" tonight I caught a piece on the recent enactment of a drinking ban on all public transportation in the city of London. Apparently, new London mayor Boris Johnson announced the ban on consumption of alcoholic beverages within days of taking office in an attempt to curb crime on trains and buses around the city. I'm sure not even Boris could have imagined the monster he created when revelers decided to hold the mother of all cocktail parties in Tube stations throughout the city on the last night before the ban took effect on June 1. Thank God there were only 17 arrests, the assault of 4 train drivers, 3 other Underground staff and 2 police officers, 1 police car damaged, fighting and vomiting on the trains and the eventual closure of 6 stations. Way to take a bite out of crime there Boris.
