…well, actually a bunch of bars.

In fact, the British government has banned Laura Hall from every bar in England. And Wales. She’s the first person to ever receive such a ban.

Quite an accomplishment for a twenty year old.

You’d think they’d do the same for Amy Winehouse.

The scale boggles. I wonder if she will sneak booze and who would give it to her?

I suppose she’ll be headed up to Scotland now.

A blonde walks into a bar…and really whacks her head…oh wait

What did she do that prompted this ban?

What an uninformative article. What did she actually do to merit the ban?

For being a [drunken nuisance](http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2010/04/16/banned-from-every-pub-in-the-country-115875-22189398/).

But the best part of this article is here:

I’ve gotten tossed out of bars on several occasions, when I was in college. But to be banned from every bar in the COUNTRY!

Bravo.

From the description about the Asbo-s, it looks like she racked up a whole crapload of what we’d call in the US disorderly conduct/drunk-and-disorderly violations.

This part is interesting:

Wow. Only 20 years old. It takes most people a lifetime to become that much of an A-hole. She’s probably expecting the Spanish inquisition, or something…

Hit on everyone in the bar, with the sole exception of Sergeant David Roberts.

"Since their introduction in September, police and local authorities can ask magistrates to impose the orders on anyone responsible for alcohol-fuelled crime or anti- social behaviour to stop them drinking or entering licensed premises.

They **cannot** be issued to anyone with mental health problems or alcoholics"

WTF?

Some guy she promises to go to bed with. (no, I _wouldn’t_ hit that. But someone would)

I believe Amy Winehouse is safe, if they can’t ban alcoholics.

I’m waiting for the “alcoholics defense” to become popular.  
“But Judge, you CAN’T ban me from the bars, I’m an alcoholic.”

I’m sure she’s a sociopathic, selfish, petulant little immature bitch, but my oh my, what nice boobies… 🙂
