Analysis

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

2/9. Order! Order! For centuries Britain has been a nation that likes a drink: in 1066 the invading Normans considered the Saxons a bunch of hopeless drunks. The association between drink and street disturbances is long standing - but so is the link between alcohol and prosperity. David Walker asks why Government plans to deregulate pub hours in England have provoked a panic, and whether the freedom to drink will become a licence to drink to excess. Producer Richard Vandon Repeated on Sunday at 9.30pm
