But, by the sound of things, Peter Davies has actually put this into effect in terms of this particular issue in Doncaster. However, we do seem to be faced with much nastier problems in London, with the gang/drugs culture being a very serious threat. A contribution to this fight which has not received too much attention is the need to really hit high profile 'celebrities' who are involved with substance misuse hard. A rich 'celeb' can always buy themselves out of drugs trouble (cf 'The Priory'), and does not have to live in the areas which are dreadfully blighted by drugs gangs, but for anyone else, drugs (and drink) misuse is nothing but a disaster. Criminalise and punish the 'celebs' who set fashions in this matter. And here the press has a responsibility, with its obsession with celebrity culture (a misnomer if there ever was one). Time for a better England.AlFronthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03309612957773750838noreply@blogger.com
