Subject: RE: BS: Suddenly Britain has a knife culture
Graham leaves out of the equation the massive spread of drug misuse.
I never imagined that the small towns in the West of Scotland would ever have such a level of herion addiction among the young people.
And with that addiction comes violence and knife crime. In a small village near where I live, a young man of 20 was decapitated by a knife weilding heroin addict, who also suffered from schitzophrenia and depression. It transpired that this man was given his medication weekly, and often consumed the weeks supply in one or two days. All this was completely unsupervised by the medical services.
The man received a twelve year sentence...the doctors got off Scot free. I'm afraid this wonderful society of ours has a hidden secret, many of our children have no idealism, no hope, and sadly no future...Ake
