  1. I get sick and tired of reading one incident after another about drunken English. Why do so many English have to drink themselves into a stupor and or start fights. This is nothing new, there is a serious mental health issue here which is never confronted by any section of English society. Maybe the Floyd had it just right in 71 – quiet desperation is the English way – and the desperation gives way to alcohol suppression of the problem – going out to get drunk – seriously sad.
