Another Day, Another Protest

Protest! This time it had nothing to do with petrol. The new Mayor of London made enemies with the general public by banning alcohol consumption on public transport to discourage yobs. They got a month notice and Sat at midnight it went into effect. Response? Hundreds of people descended onto the tube (mostly Circle line) and had a party-arriving already drunk or setting up bars in the carraiges. End result-about 17 people were arrested with police officers and Tube drivers being injured in a few fights. Crowds+alcohol=violence and stupidity.
