And not just England. Scotland has a consistently higher rate of deaths related to alcohol abuse. I know someone who used to live on Islay but left because she couldnt face yet another weekend of being either paralytic drunk herself or else having to be in the company of such drunks. T’was ever thus. An 18th century visitor to Scotland had to feign a drunken stupor to stop endless drinks being offered . As he lay like this, a serving boy proceeded to tug at his cravat. The lad explained that his duty was to loosen the cravats of the drinkers to stop them from choking to death.

Yes indeed, and sadly exterminated many of the previous commentators! Bravo!
Then there is the business of the Lockdown TV Interview of the 25th August last. Not a pretty picture. Presumably ‘ they’ are facing legal action from that harridan?
It is the Freddie Sayers Lockdown TV Interview of the 25th August last. The interviewee was a female of the species who acts as an ‘advisor’ to the Scottish Administration. (If I mention her name, this post will be removed). So far at least eleven posts have been “removed” by the Censor, and no further comments are allowed. This is unprecedented behaviour by UnHerd.

So true, as I can testify having been dry now for 20 years: again, very much a racial proclivity. One only has to compare, for example, Italy, France, Spain and Greece with Ireland and Scotland, as well as England in terms of drinking habits… Finland as opposed to Denmark… and many others.

To which TV interview are you referring? It sounds intriguing.
