On the issue of train drinking though, alcohol shouldn't be banned in it's entirety, anti-social behaviour should just be banned, and that ban should be enforced and punished.
Yeah, why not just treat the symptom of an issue and completely ignore the cause!

9 pages of comments on someone mistakenly having a can of G&T on a train. Glad to see perspective is a relative concept even in 2019.
The fact that alcohol is served on trains nationwide without these problems suggests that it is not the cause.
There absolutely is this problem on trains too, just a lesser issue as there are less densely populated journeys. Air travel also has issues around drunk, antisocial and sometimes dangerous passengers.
Without doubt I agree, but someone mistakenly sipping a 250ml can of G&T and then being told you cannot drink it and putting it away isn't the same thing.
I don't have a problem with it. She might be in charge of law and order for a party in this country but the fact everyone is going off on one because she likes a G&T after a hard days graft is not a massive issue.
Correct. It really is a non issueIt would be a bit like pulling over somebody for doing 73 mph on a motorway.
Technically they are breaking the law, but people have to use common sense.
I'm not suggesting it is.
Serving alcohol on planes has always seemed like a mad idea to me.

I’d hazard a guess that anti-social behaviour is already legislated against, it’s the haphazard enforcement of that legislation, and/or the very light admonishments that follow any enforcement that needs an adjustment.
Vote for the manifesto even if you don't like who the current leader/top dogs are.
People saying it's a non-issue are being a little naive. If she was the Shadow Defence Minister or some such, that is one thing, but to be the Shadow Home Secretary is quite another. When you add to this her abysmal recent history, it absolutely calls into question her competency.
Abbott is an idiot. That Corbyn keeps her in his Shadow Cabinet speaks volumes of the mans own competency.
