Alcohol and Stupidity




Europe Calling show

Summary: Wetherspoon's UK motorway pub promised to crack down on drink drivers but journalist man supped four pints before heading to carpark and no staff challenged him. Would they in any other situation? Meanwhile we go back to an event in 2011 when the MP for Cannock Chase said that he never went to the Frog & Roastbeef in Val Thorens. His claim is disproved by a picture, taken just outside and there are shades of a silly facy dress re-enactment of the Nazis. Could this be connected with another story about a book claiming Hitler escaped death in 1946? Paul Gascogne is back in rehab. The troubled star is undergoing an intensive rehab programme at a £6,000-a-month clinic in Southampton. Is he really a hero? The judges are displaying too much sympathy again as Marie Hothersall, 83, died in hospital two months after her 54-year-old daughter Ann Lupton launched a savage drunken attack at her home in Preston, Lancashire on July 23 last year. Finally, we discussed the jailing of Twitter trolls as the story above did not warrant a jai9l term according to the judge. Who's got it right?
