It's a bit rich blaming the public for the consequences of the Government's gimmick about cheap meals.
Oh , I didn't realise its was a gimmick thought it was to kick-start the hospitality sector, best we get back to slumber and watch the economy die . For some with no pensions to sit back on it hurts, a lot of younger people rely on jobs in what you refer to as the cheap gimmick , and yes peoples disciplines deliver the risks , the cheap deal meal was just that food to kick-start the restaurant industry and was welcomed by all parties, it was ill disciplined drinkers , house parties , crowded streets outside pubs that did this . Even now you have Northern mayors moaning about curfews, you can't win?

Perhaps the Mayor's of Manchester and Liverpool who are now saying this is awful , should have exercised better controls in thier cities .
