there was an experiment in Brighton, (I think the documentary is on Youtube), where heroin addicts were paying for their heroin on prescription. There was one lad who used to steal and beg a grand a week who was holding down a job. What we're doing now simply isn't working, we need to try...

I don't think James was on his 'corner' before the game Saturday. Have to admit, I find it inconceivable that someone would put them self in the position where they can't go up the match any more for the sake of pocketing a few grand but I'm past the point of being surprised by anything that...

6 incredible things that happened when Portugal decriminalized all drugs Here's what the data says about Portugal's decriminalization: Drug-related HIV infections have plummeted by over 90% since 2001, according to the drug-policy think tank Transform. Drug-related deaths in Portugal are the...

they consume more alcohol than us, though I appreciate that doesn't mean they behave the way we do. As for bath salts, legal highs would never have existed if drugs were legal, they were purely designed to ahead of the law. We wouldn't have had the current spice epidemic. Whatever you can say...

true, though I still wouldn't think they deserve it but you're right, it could have benefits.

your confusing slating Coventry with slating the council. I always big up Coventry, and pretty much always slate the council.

fair play, was expecting a post referencing the middle of the road 3 chord rock band but that was particularly quick off the draw.

it's been a success in Portugal. What we're doing now isn't working, we need to try something different. The status quo isn't working.

2 more fucking free drinks than I got!! Agree though. Good day and a one off. Will revert back to the traditional London pub crawl next time we play in the capital.

no i haven't. I don't shout into an echo chamber like you. And I clearly said it's a reason, not an excuse.

You've been reading the Daily Mail again. Look at what's happening in the States, (where there has definitely been a war on drugs against users of a certain demographic), the look at Portugal, which approach has been best for society? I ask which has been best for society because there are...

They're going to let an out of town rugby team do it

great read OSB58. Amazing young man.

not disputing there are people making a lot of money from crime but a lot of kids on these estates will be low level. Inequality isn't an excuse but I believe it is one of the reasons, (among others), we need to start doing something to tackle it.

I doubt many of these kids on these estates are making "silly money" selling drugs. We live in a country where inequality is through the roof and working people are living in poverty. Not saying that's the only cause but it doesn't help. Personally, with regard to drugs. I would decriminalise...

whoever nominated them could you put me forward for the Ballon D'or please?

it is, but I'd rather that than think a little girl had actually been abducted.

I don't think there's any on answer but you've made some valid points. I definitely think inequality plays a part. Some of these kids in London live in poverty in the shadow of extreme and frankly unattainable wealth. They've done a lot in Glasgow to reduce knife crime and death/injury from...

reactionary nonsense.

no correlation between reduction in police numbers and increase in crime according to the government even though a leaked home office report says otherwise as does every police chief in the UK, or drama queens as May referred to them when they warned her what would happen due to the cuts.
