Blasphemy! UK plans to replace pint glasses with plastic

So they don't actually want to replace glasses, its just a design for a standardised plastic version.
Good move, how many times have you been to festivals in the UK and been given plastic glasses that are absolutely crap at holding liquid?
So this is the same firm doing the new design that already made a good profit designing and selling the safety glass at a price that was a fraction of the leading French version on offer to pubs.

Ah but with plastic beer pint holders (it is not a plastic glass it physically can't be) you can break it into sharp spears and stab or cut someone...

Good lord is this really an issue? Sounds like a place I would avoid.
