There’s at least as many wealthy people in trouble with drinking and taking drugs as poor people. They can afford more drugs.And if you count all of the drug addicts/alcoholics and gambling addicts as a population of the country how much are we looking at? 0.1%? 2%? It’s an awful way to make policy isn’t it. FInd the worst 0.5% of the population and then assume everyone elses who is poor will behave just like them.
Right wing xenophobic tory dog whistle politics . Terrible country .
