Labour announce drinking u-turn

I was just go through some of the details of Gordon's speech and spotted quite a major u-turn in Labour policy. The PM has announced a review of licencing laws, with a possible reversal of the 24 hour licences to try and curb binge drinking.

Now this is quite a big u-turn, and strangely enough it's not been reported that widely. The BBC picked up on it on their website, but there is no mention on the TV news channel. Strange that.

So instead of admitting that their policy has made the problem of binge drinking worse, they announce how their NEW policy will solve the problem. Obviously neglecting the fact that it caused it.

Update: I've just noticed that I did actually blog about this eight months ago. Still nice to know Gordon is going to carry on where Blair left off.
