    Sad but true Fran.......they have known about the problem for years and have imo done very little to thwart it.

    Watching Jeremy Vine this morning, I'm now pretty board of the celebs moaning off the back of Flacks untimely death.

    When they find this utopia where everyone loves everything and are gushing, don't send me the address! I'd rather hone my thick skin with the trolls.

    Nearly posted that myself. Just awful. The only excuse for restraints would be if she was a danger to herself, but when the policeman arrived she was sitting quietly with a teacher. Time for getting down on your haunches and having a friendly word...the 'crisis' was over. And why did the school feel it was necessary to call the police anyway. True she was kicking people, but, although unpleasant, surely teachers have the experience to diffuse the situation and call in a family member/social worker. The school needs to look at themselves and the police need training in common sense rather than the rule book.

    There doesn't appear to be any sign of the government taking a progressive attitude towards the problem. Proposals include safe places for addicts to use and testing so users know what they've bought. Just a big no from the home office, no votes perceived I suppose. If you have time look through these articles. This a quote from the select committee "A health focused and harm reduction approach would not only benefit those who are using drugs but reduce harm to and the costs for their wider communities say the Health and Social Care Committee in its report on drugs policy".

    Spot on. The so called war on drugs is unwinnable and a complete sham.

    The war on drugs is to do nothing, it will then sort it self out. Eventually.

    I grew up in a rough neighbourhood. As a child people would cover me in chocolate, cream and put a cherry on my head.

    It was tough in the gateau.

    I got fired from my job because I kept asking my customers whether they would prefer “Smoking” or “Non-smoking”.

    Apparently the correct terms are “cremation” and “burial.”

    I was thinking about making a Dairy joke in here.

    But that would be too cheesy.
