Tuesday 17th January 2006 - Times online debates: live music could overtake religion

In just four days The Times online licensing/live music debate has risen to number 2 in the list of 6 debate topics with 21 responses published so far (see list below). 

Only religion is ahead with 47 responses to the debate on whether 'intelligent design should be kept out of the classroom'. But this had a 22-day head start!

Please keep the live music responses coming: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,564-1981930,00.html

The only alcohol-related question (What cures your hangover?) has no responses. Significantly, while other topics (with the above exception) attract a variety of views, the licensing/live music responses are all opposed to the new legislation.
