Comment ça va?

Ed Balls wants us to change our drinking culture.
He wants us to adopt the French way whereby beautiful families sit around the dining table sipping wine discussing Jacques Derrida. He also wants to see and end to mullered teenagers laying on park benches guzzling cheap supermarket lager. Methinks he's going to wait a long time, because not many working class families even share a meal together yet alone share the joy of good wine and conversation.
The middle classes however might allow Tristram a glass of a decent Chardonnay whilst talking about his violin lessons. He wants sober, well-reasoned parents to instill into their offspring the right and true way to guzzle beer.
The disinterested parents won't be listening to the government, and consequently will have nothing to say to their children.
The only chance of saving our bright youngsters from liver damage is to lock them up forever.
Ed Balls and this utterly incompetent government is drifting, is ambling about grabbing onto anything which makes them look a bit capable and caring.
They are failing.
