God - likes a laugh, doesn't He?
Apparently Stirling is set to get a patrol of religious volunteers who will 'help people who get into difficulty on a night out'.
The story goes on to say they 'will offer help and advice in a non-confrontational way in a bid to cut drink-related violence'.

I'm not the most violent drunk, but if I was turning myself inside out because I'd had a couple too many,
the last thing I'd need is some 'advice' from the bible. And can you see them stepping in to referee a fight outside the pub?

well...
It probably will stop the people from the pub fighting each other, as they turn and beat the crap out of the Religous Volunteers. So it'll be a nice touch of unity.

Really?
Hadn't heard of that, thanks for the warning.

Much like yourself I'm not a violent drunk, so I suspect if I was in a fight and drunk, I really wouldn't care much for the advice...
