The hype and hysteria that’s coming. I’m all for women safety and any sick bar steward involved spiking in this shouldn’t be sentenced to a ‘gentle’ beating.
Sure while the headlines do the rounds these culprits would have thought twice. But yet the media are out to feed this to as if it happened in 9/10 pubs? It’s another distraction attempt by the media.

Courts in this country too soft Regis! Anybody spiking drinks should get 6 months minimum prison sentence and named and shamed!

I do believe in stricter sentences and where a person is 100% guilty of murder like the Sarah Everard murderer - he should be executed-by a firing range.

Anybody who has obtained a British passport as an immigrant should also sign a declaration that any criminal activity will result in the forfeit of citizenship.

Harsh - not really as we need to be tough!
