I have no sympathy for the ‘moral weakness’ that is drug addiction

I don’t care about self-inflicted problems, such as drug-taking. 

My approach to such people would be to remove them from the streets to spare decent citizens the sight of this detritus. Forget about what other countries do to pander to morally-impotent drug users.

Do not provide publicly funded services for these people, unless users pay for such services themselves.

Too many good, upstanding citizens are already on long hospital lists, behind those who bring their drug problems on themselves. The under-resourced guards already have too much to do without having to deal with the drug blight on our streets.

Let us focus, instead, on those who need help with genuine problems, such as unemployment, homelessness, hospital trolleys and illnesses that are not drink-, cigarette- or drug-induced.

The foregoing are getting no assistance at all.

Society needs to dispel the cobwebs of this spineless liberalism, which has destroyed the West.

I am sick and tired of hearing about alcohol, smoking, obesity and drugs being ‘imposed’ on people.

There is no mention at all of those who have problems without cowardly recourse to drugs, etc.

The cost of this mindless pandering to the moral weakness of being unable to say ‘no’ should be borne by those with ‘liberal,’ politically correct pet projects. Such cosseting will never fully eradicate the manifestations of spineless behaviour which should not be a problem for the rest of us.
