DAVID CAMERON WILL END BIG GOVERNMENT and create a “responsible society” if the
Conservative party is elected. In his final conference speech before the general election, the Tory leader said he had the character, temperament and judgment to be Prime Minister. Cameron told Manchester delegates, “I know that today there aren't many reasons to be cheerful. But there are reasons to believe.”
PARENTS SHOULD SUPPLY ALCOHOL to their teenagers to prevent underage sex and anti social behaviour, a Liverpool John Moores University study has suggested.
University researchers questioned nearly 10,000 15 to 16-year-olds in the north-west and found that they got into trouble more when buying their own cheap alcohol, rather than getting it from parents.
“Carefully introducing” alcohol to children may help them “prepare themselves for life in an adult environment dominated by this drug,” said the study.

I know quite a few people who have food with their wine which is a major cause of obesity. I have seen kids as young as eight coming out of chip shops with sausage dinners, in some cases it includes gravy. This country is sinking under the weight of gluttony. Thank goodness for the recession which means at least some people may become slim enough to get a belt round their waists to tighten. Yes I know the poorer you are the more rubbish you eat, but I am thinking more of the recession health benefits for the blue collar fatsos - who may even get into a smaller collar size. Fortunately I am one of those people who can eat as much as they want as I am a hugely wealthy grossly obese lifelong conservative and if anybody makes a comment about it, I will have them sacked or give them a good thrashing.
Alcohol at a young age increases the chance of liver cirrhosis doesn't it? Isn't there a bit of a problem with that in France?
I'd have thought alcohol at any age, except old age, would increase the chances of cirrhosis. I don't know if there's a problem in France but I do know a lot of families in France drink wine with their food, including the kids.
