Permissive Culture Claims another Casualty

ON Tuesday night Gavin Britton, an 18-year-old Student studying business and economics at Exeter University, was found dead from suspected alcohol poisoning near the city centre after what must have been a particularly heavy drinking session. On his MySpace account his headline reads 'If your not living life on the edge you're taking up to much space[sic]' – looks like that attitude did the poor fellow a lot of good. The myopic and self-indulgent 'live for the moment, man' attitude so prevalent amongst youngsters these days really does have much to answer for, as do its progenitors in the hedonistic sixties.
