Teenage spies

JUST when I thought the Government, and in particular Justice Minister Dermot Ahern, could not get any more absurd, they announce illegal entrapment measures for teenage drinking.

The only people to suffer will be the occasional off-licence owner.

I’m sure some bureaucrat will be glad to fine and/or close him down as the bureaucrat’s contribution to the nation’s collapse. This proves, yet again, the Government has not the foggiest idea of the priorities we need to get this country back to the way the people who pay their ludicrous salaries would like it.
