Relaxation of Alcohol laws in UK results in FALL in crime

Simply because it is. It is your modus operandi for fishing as well.

In recent weeks, it has been suggested on this board that if the UK were to ban alcohol completely, there would be a large reduction in crime. I argued against this,

And, again, that isn't the hypothesis from that other thread; the hypothesis was that banning alcohol would save thousands more lives than banning handguns did in England.

This is just another red herring, with Beetle once again holding the pole, hook, line and sinker.

There you go again - talking about "the other thread"! I made no mention of any particular thread. You male-donkey-umed which one it was, but it could have been this thread, in which Lazs states that 80% of homicides are alcohol related, in the US at least. That's as good as anything I've seen to suggest that "alcohol is a root cause of a great deal of crime". There are other threads in which people have blamed alcohol consumption in Britain for crime, as you well know. I could go and hunt for them, but... I can't be arsed.

May I pinch a couple of your maggotts to put on the end of my line?

The typical Beet inability to admit he's wrong when caught red handed.
 

Pffft.

You're naught but a simple troll anymore.

I said "homicides" not crime....  While homicide is a crime.... it is a specific crime of the most serious nature.

admit it beet... you got caught.   man up just a little.

I would like to see a couple of years data in any case.

I'm not wrong here. But you are wrong in saying that I wouldn't admit to being wrong if I was. I admitted to being wrong, in big size=10 letters, here.

I said "homicides" not crime.... - lazs

I said "violent crime", and the Home Office categorises homicide as a violent crime.

We`uns around these here parts will  fess on up to bein akin to the redneck clan on occasion. But as far as that there "cretinous" stuff goes, I dunt never et me none of them thar fish in a shell. Too dang fur from da big pond and you done eready knowed that I taint nevar been much of a traveling type. Tryed that thar thing once but I reckon I didunt have enuff of that thar book larnin to get a grip becuming a downright expurt on them thar places just becausin I had been thar once like sum of them thar furners  around heah claim to be. Told me one of them thar high falutant furner fellers one time that back when I still had some larnin about me that I drove one of them big ole semis for a while. That thar dang feller was sure edicated. He tryed not to act like us po old workin folk was not beneath him and halped splain it to me that deliverin vittles and spring tonics and things for them thar new fangled flyin amchines and the like was done by us po unedicated backwoods type. I tried to hunker down and figir what in tarnation one of them thar IT fellers were that them edicated folk seem to abide by, but I just twere`nt smart enuff to know what in thender them fellers did. When we`uns were knee knockers we ust to play tag, but dag nabbit I never did like bein IT. My dawg gawn ole thinker cant get the chikens in a row long enuff to be one of them usefull fellers who look at them tahr stone walls. Pretty helpfolk I reckon. Somebudy got to have enuff larnin to keep usin ole rednecks from bein a bother to them smart type fellers.

It is called "civilization".

That thar must be one of dem big cities in one of dem furner places like Oklahoma. Tain`t never been thar.

learn to embrace the sports allowed you by your lords like darts and cricket...

Now lookie here neighbor, the lord didn`t have nary a hand in that thar Dart contraption  I bartered fur. It wus made by that Dodge feller. A feller across the holler did palaver with me an tolt me them thar law fellers who wast tryin to chase me down in the dang thing was a prayin to the lord that they wudn`t never see it again tho. Fur as I recollect it`s still in that thar crik I put it in. That thar were a few Sunday picnics and hog hollerins ago tho.
I hav to flat out admit to asocilizin with them crickets when I mosey down to the pond fur some perch. Cant say as whar I evar embraced the dang thangs tho. Got one down my bib overhalls unce , but nevar embraced the critter.

give up your evil firearms and gas guzzling V8's..

Now tarnation boy, how in da tarnation did ya find out about me shootin orn?
Them thar revenuers better not come sniffin and a huntin around these parts again. I taint a aimin to shoot me no livin , breathin sole unlessin he loligags around that thar thicket were I have my still.
Ya done whomped the spike on the hed bout them V8s. Once in a blue moon or at hog killin time we load Ma and Jr. up in the wagon and go inta town. I a usulee get me one of them V8s outa of them big ole frigadairs the store keeps hav. They sure dus give me the collic, but Iv learnt a little tech of sody will make it go away.

embrace public TV with it's rolicking adventures and dusted of carl "the prophet" sagan episodes.

Now dawg gonnit I seen me une of them picture show boxs in a catalog we`uns had in the outhouse unce. I aint embracing une of them just like them thar scratchy legged crickets ya was atalkin bout.
Onliest dang Sagan I know of in these parts is Bercy Sagan ont te other side of the thicket. He has that old scraggly rocked tater farm. He sure aint made much prophet and I spect iffin he did hed just drank it all up.

Now I havt ta fess up to prolly bein a bother to folks like this her furner feller we keep apesterin round here. He has all dem book sense us Po ole rednecks aint got and the feller sure has sum smarts. Why, I reckun this feller is might neart the brainiest human on this here planet. Leastwise as far as I know this furner guy is an xpurt on just about everythin. He`s a charitable sort tho and sur dunt mind tellin us po old merican rednecks whens we get them ole crazy idees in our heds.
I reckun he`s sa smart he figgered out how ta not becum a redneck. He`s alivin in une of them thar places that has all dat fogg. Keeps ta sun from ablisterin hiz neck I reckun.
He sure is atryin to straiten that Toad feller out, but I spect he wunt get thru  to im with all them thar fancy words.
