(Photo:William Hogarth Gin Lane Description | English: Gin Lane, from Beer Street and Gin Lane. A scene of urban desolation with gin-crazed Londoners, notably a woman who lets her child fall to its death and an emaciated ballad-seller; in the background is the tower of St George's Bloomsbury. The accompanying poem, printed on the bottom, reads:Gin, cursed Fiend, with Fury fraught, Makes human Race a Prey.It enters by a deadly Draught And steals our Life away. Virtue and Truth, driv'n to Despair Its Rage compells to fly,But cherishes with hellish Care Theft, Murder, Perjury. Damned Cup! that on the Vitals preys That liquid Fire contains,Which Madness to the heart conveys, And rolls it thro' the Veins. ) http://JohnBatchelorShow.com/contact http://JohnBatchelorShow.com/schedules http://johnbatchelorshow.com/blog Twitter: @BatchelorShow Can the Federal police power intervene in a state or municipal crime wave? @AndrewCMcCarthy @NRO @ThadMcCotter @theamgreatness https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/07/the-revolution-is-winning/
