Their morals: how "prim" the British thumped on New Year's Eve
The meeting of the new year in Britain was, as always, stormy. Not everyone woke up the next morning at home - someone met the first day of the new 2014 in the police station, someone in a hospital bed. According to the results, on January 1, about 100 arrests were registered in London alone: several rapes, dozens of violations of law and order, fights, drunk driving, and so on.
In this issue you will see how the New Year was celebrated in the major cities of Foggy Albion: scandalous photos published by the British tabloid Daily Mail.
