Should read : Now you pay for heroin for addicts from your taxes:
I think it's about time that the public were given a properly itemised breakdown of their monthly NI/TAX bill, showing where every single penny goes. It might help focus people's attention on how this goverment (or any successor governments) are squandering our wages.

Mr BGG : Monthly Tax Breakdown

£3.99 Contribution to the Heroin Users Allowance Fund
£1.31 Contribution to the Illegal Immigrants Lifestlye Fund
£2.79 Contribution to the Goverment War on Terrorism Fund
£4.74 Contribution to the Black Lesbian Muslims with HIV ACPO's Fund
£2.23 Contribution to the Free Condoms for the Under 16's Fund
£9.37 Contribution to the MP's Expenses Fund
£0.01 Contribution to the Christian UK fund
£88.31 Contribution to the Overseas Fight Poverty Fund for Africa
£0.20 Contribution to the Royal British Legion
£8.26 Contribution to the Suicide Bombers Wounded in Iraq Fund

etc etc

Can't you get these figures from the ONS if you're that bothered?

No. Next.

Envy is a sin

Like new icon?

No. Next.

[AtW]

Indeed.

It's estimated that the average heroin addict needs about £4 of stuff per day...

The street price is about £500...

So it's like the cost of either AtW's lunch, or Threaded's

Cheaper if you buy direct from friendly Afganies, and also you have to take into account lower life expectancy of a junkie using heroin every day...

What an excellent idea; does this herald a return to the sensible pre 1970 policies before we adopted the demented Septic Mafia boosting ban it all Prohibition approach... just think there were at least 5 or 6,000 addicts back then.

If nothing else, they won't need to steal off the rest of us.

Insulin - you die without it. Heroin - you die with it.

That's my crazy theory, anyway...

Wealthy smack heads on good stuff live for years. It's the street level heroin and lifestyle that goes with it that kills people off.

[Ruprect]

CUK turning into the home of liberal leftie loonies! Whatever next

[wendigo100]

Why is heroin addiction considered bad? anymore than insulin? both are physical addictions/dependancies.

Insulin - you die without it. Heroin - you die with it.

That's my crazy theory, anyway...

[Fishface]

you get prescribed heroin when you get chronic rhuematism.

There are many 'junkie' pensioners out there who will be on it for the rest of their life.

There is a common misconception that all heroin users are violent, crazied lunatics or hoe's like the image in the 80's.

[rootsnall]

I agreed with you, therefore it is your line of thinking now

Oh OK ! Now it's all clear.

[rootsnall]

Very good. I see what you did there.

That's coke init ! Much too clever for me I'm afraid.
