This is just....diabolical!
I'm sat here almost in tears after reading this....
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/s...re/6115272.stmPolice officers in Staffordshire have been working in shifts to pour 2,500 cans of beer and hundreds of bottles of spirits and champagne down a toilet.
The alcohol was confiscated from an off licence that was trading illegally and a judge ordered it to be destroyed.
As Ian Dury and the Blockheads once sang.....what a waste!
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Everybody take a deep breath and relax. Look closely at the photograph. Plod is pouring away canned liquids, therefore the only stuff going down the loo is Australian or American - no beer involved.

Re: This is just....diabolical!
What a terrible waste of time and money! It would be much more efficient to sell it on to a legal seller of alcoholic products!
Re: This is just....diabolical!
They should take a lesson from the United States and prohibition.
You arrest the seller of the illegal booze, you place a tax stamp on the achocal, and you go about and resell the booze to a retail store.
Profit all around for the police.
O well, seems like 'some' people decide to ruin a perfectly valid threat. Nice going guys... doc bean

Re: This is just....diabolical!
Why the toilet?
Or would it not be better to fill the flush section with booze, more effective. Well anyway, trust the Police to be inefficient.

Re: This is just....diabolical!
The customs service got in trouble a couple of years back for 'destroying' several thousand pounds worth of wines (and this was good stuff, only a few bottles), that were later found to be totally legal or something.
Someone had some good parties.
Re: This is just....diabolical!
Don't be silly, they can afford their own. Give it to the local under-priveliged schoolchildren who now have no supply of alcohol.

Oh bother, most American beer does qualify under this designation.
Still, we have a few micros worth quaffing.
Here you go, a fun fact to add to the general sense of outrage.
In the pub in the "Ireland" section of Busch Gardens The Old Country (Theme/Amusement Park) they serve only Anheuser-Busch products.
How about them apples?!

I don't mean to seem obtuse, but the vast majority of Euro beers available around here are in 50cl cans.
