Alcohol should be banned from the House of Commons because Eric Joyce.
There is an awful lot of unnecessary legislation which “wastes police time” too. Does this mean we’ll be getting rid of all of that?

I expect they will be banning football matches, protest marches…
Restoring public order is a waste of police time? Good to know.
OK, lets ban shops having a sale on that day. Lets have a sale the following day, or indeed any other day of the year and heavily advertise it.
With different actions by the public?
I don’t think so.
Boxing day sales, the traditional big sales day – cannot tell me there has never been any trouble from the public on that day. Yet do we hear calls for boxing day sales to be scrapped?
Black Friday–it’s now, it’s happening, it’s trendy. They saw it on TV. It’s their job?… isn’t it?

“Restoring public order is a waste of police time? Good to know.”
Yes. I thought this was one of their core functions. I wonder what they could have been doing instead. Monitoring Twitter, perhaps? Persuing an elderly TV star for patting a woman’s arse in 1961? Monitoring some upper class people dressed in red and on horseback riding across fields?
Ban the MPs whose open door immigration policy has destroyed the once world famous British habit of forming neat orderly queues.
