In 'Behind the bar', IAS & Balance found 62% of publicans say supermarket alcohol is too cheap, and 60% want the price gap closed.
Just one way in which policies best for pubs and public health align - with the cheapest alcohol causing most harm.

"The government needs to look at the low cost of alcohol in supermarkets primarily. Certainly the taxation in supermarkets needs to be looked at to bring about some kind of equilibrium."

Celebrating Mrs AHC’s 20yrs service @DurhamPolice long service awards this evening. Albeit she has worked for nearly 40yrs in policing as a member of police civilian staff - who are so often taken for granted in policing and not afforded the recognition or resoect they should be

Day 5 – Youth Voice: Why Volunteer Police Cadets Matter More Than Ever!
Cadets are not simply participants in a youth programme. They are volunteers, community champions, ambassadors, and future leaders! #VolunteerPoliceCadetsWeek #NationalCadetWeek

Is this tool advocating state sponsored murder ? - gunning down unarmed civilians.
Many former and serving Royal Marines have told me how devastated they are to be forced to watch as invaders land by their home of Portsmouth.
I make them this promise:
A Reform government will immediately deploy His Majesty’s Royal Marines with the following orders:
DO NOT LET A SINGLE INVADER REACH OUR SHORES.
If people smugglers resist, our boys will be authorised to use lethal force.
We will take our country back. 🇬🇧

It’s our One Punch Awareness Week this week
We would like to acknowledge all the victims and families of one punch assaults
Everyone who has been affected by a one punch knows the devastation it causes
There is very
Little awareness or support of a One Punch assault and the sentence levels are diabolical
We have put a video together to respect our loved ones whose lives were changed forever . Which will be available during the week
One Punch uk has been a charity for 13yrs trying to raise awareness , educate , support victims and families and find justice
We have worked hard for a long time and hope to carry on doing so
Our campaign is always looking for cooperate sponsors , we are very small and try our hardest to keep to our aims
We would like to thank our trustees new and old and our amazing fundraising co -ordinater Joanna for the past year of amazing event planning
If you have any ideas how we could become bigger and better please let us know
Maxine and Tony
