The Large One
Who's Next?
Just read the report on this. Obviously I think it's a load of old tossbags, but there is one question that needs clearing up:
Will they be "given" drugs to take at these centres or does it work on a BYO basis? If it's the latter, surely that will encourage more drug users to the city and therefore crimes such as theft and burglary associated with drug use?
The Green Party really are using Brighton as a social experiment aren't they?
If you absolutely must bring party politics into it, I can assume that you've overlooked the local Tories' approval of this report.
As Tom said above, it's good that people are thinking differently, and are considering previously successful method of containment.
Will it work? Who knows? But we're nowhere near this thing happening yet anyway.
This answers my question, and adds to my fears about bringing more crime to the area. The drug dealers must be rubbing their hands at the thought of this and I'm sure the Police are delighted....
The Police have stated that they have an open mind on this.
It's wouldn't be a drop-in centre for any old user. They would have to be part of a referral programme, and want to be given help in the first place.
