A young person, brave enough to speak out on national TV about the wreckage alcohol has brought to her family, is invited to the heart of Britain’s democracy—only to find out it has a bar tab longer than a budget report. Yes, the same Parliament that pats her on the back for raising awareness about alcohol harm is also the place where MPs can tipple before a vote. It’s like inviting someone to talk about food insecurity inside a caviar buffet.

🍸 Parliament: Where Sobriety Is Optional and Hypocrisy Is Free

Ah yes, Good Morning Britain—the show that serves up a young person’s trauma with a side of virtue signalling, only to send her straight into the lion’s den: the House of Commons, where MPs can legally drink on the job thanks to taxpayer-subsidised bars.

Imagine pouring your heart out about how alcohol wrecked your home, only to be ushered into a place where lawmakers can get sloshed before voting on policies that affect your life. Because what screams “responsible governance” more than writing legislation while sipping Scotch from a cut-crystal tumbler? 🥃📜

But let’s not forget—these aren’t just random pubgoers. These are public servants. Family people. Parents. Many of whom may have children going through exactly what this young person is bravely speaking about. Yet they’ll still shuffle out of the bar and into a voting chamber to make decisions that affect addiction services, youth funding, and mental health support.

The irony doesn’t just sting—it does a full lap around the hypocrisy track while waving a pint glass. 🍺🏁
