"There were 897 deaths involving heroin or morphine in 2008. This is an 8 per cent rise compared to 2007 and the highest number recorded since 2001. The number of deaths involving methadone also increased from 325 in 2007 to 378 in 2008, a rise of 16 per cent. This is the highest number of deaths involving methadone since 1998, when 398 deaths were recorded. Deaths involving cocaine rose to 235 in 2008, continuing a long-term upward trend since 1993.

Deaths mentioning paracetamol and its compounds increased slightly in 2008 to 260 from the lowest recorded number in 2007 (242 deaths), following a long-term downward trend since 1997. The biggest impact on this decline was from deaths involving co-proxamol (paracetamol and dextropropoxyphene formulation) where the number decreased by one third between 2007 and 2008, from 72 to 48 deaths."


So if the dealers are killers and Tyrants, then so are the pubs, not to mention the Pharma companies selling paracetamol etc.

It should also be noted in the above stats that over 30% of men and 50% of women were deliberately trying to kill themselves by overdosing on whatever they could get.


Lets see if the King of double standards believes that people who sell dangerous chemicals should all be prosecuted or not ...
