A study by the Prime Minister's Strategy Unit found that:
- There are 1.2 million incidents of alcohol-related violence per year.
- 40% of A&E admissions are alcohol-related.
- Rising to 70% between the hours of midnight and 5AM.
- This costs the NHS £1.7 billion per year.
This is our son, he is not a hooligan, nor was he drunk. He was working at the time and tried to assist and protect a female colleague.
Every year thousands of people are bottled in the UK.
This affects everybody in this country, if you have a family you will have brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, grandchildren, etc.
Don't let this happen to someone you love, help us to change the law.
Please sign our petition to change glasses to polycarbonate and bottles to plastic in nightclubs and late night bars.
After the loss of four pints of blood, a transfusion and four hours in surgery to stitch his face inside and out and neck wound, missing his jugular by half an inch.
The information and pictures you have seen occurred in the early hours of Christmas Day, 2004. This went to Crown Court in June 2005, the sentence passed was two years in prison, the sentence served was seven months. We thought Britain was in the process of tackling and clamping down on anti-social behaviour.
We intend to take this to 10 Downing Street. Do you agree with us?
Campaign Update - ask your MP to back us
If you have signed our petition, we very much appreciate your help, but there is one more small thing you can do to help our cause. You can ask your MP to sign Early Day Motion 385 in the House of Commons, which is a proposition put forward that mirrors the campaign. You can either write to the postal address below or use this web site to locate the name and email address of your local MP.
The address is:
{The name of your MP}
House of Commons
Westminster
SW1A 0AA
Please note that the MP for North East Milton Keynes is Mark Lancaster and he has proposed this Early Day Motion. Therefore it is pointless asking him to sign it.
Many thanks once again for all your support.
