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 .
The worst Labour dog whistle politics was when someone took too many magic mushrooms and ran down the street with his underpants on his head. Caroline Flint said “We can’t have this” and then proceeded to ban mushrooms completely - that period from 2004-07 when mushrooms were legal was the best time of my life. That’s when I turned my back on the labour party. (I’ve turned my back on all the parties tho)
Just because of one idiot - they say that’s “proof” that everyone will run down the street with his underpants on his head.
