Man kills himself in Penzance Woolworths

Yes, you generalised from that particular instance and now you are justifying the generalisation. To an extent I agree with the generalisation but i'd point out that 'drug abuse' is not as much of a problem as alcohol abuse.

By focusing on the 'hard drugs' you can conveniently forget that you partake of the hardest drug of all. But that's the 'us' who drink, not the 'them' who 'take drugs'.

Alcohol is a seperate issue to the acknowledged drug problem in Penzance.

Work in the drugs sector now, do you?

Smiley away, Penzance has had a bad drugs problem for decades now, you seem to be the only Cornish resident who doesn't know about it.

I'm not denying there's a drugs problem (most of my clients were dual diagnosis and that included ALCOHOL), I'm challenging the fact that you seem to feel validated enough to speak 'authoritatively' on all sorts of subjects without even leaving your fucking living room. Thankfully anyone with an ounce of common sense or who has experience of working in the sectors you wax lyrical about can see that you're talking shit. However, there may be people who believe that you have one iota of an idea of what you're talking about and for their sakes you need to be challenged.

Your and other misconception that I never leave my room is you fault and your problem, not mine.
My wife and I have helped out numerous people with a wide range of serious problems, including providing a home for them for a few months, until they get sorted.

And? Don't mean nuffin when it comes to talking about things the way you do. Anecdotal 'evidence' from providing a roof for some people who have had 'problems' doesn't qualify you to talk the way you do.

I really do not know where you are coming from. I take it you throw the yearly county health report posted to every household in Cornwall once a year in the bin without reading it. There is very detailed information in it, including data about drugs problems, needle exchange use ect.

Surely you don't believe that? lol!

why are you so sensitive about this ?

The prisons are full of people who are mentally ill, it is easier to lock them up than treat them. These are often troublesome people who may be regular drug users, and or can be violent to themselves and others:mad. The services for families of mentally ill people and for the people themselves will never be able to cope, and since Thatcher closed all the old mental hospitals, there are much less places for mad/bad people and they go to prison. I bet everyone knows of some poor sod who was bonkers and got put in prison.
My family has first hand experience of the inadequacy of care in the community, and it didn't get any better until my brother actually killed somebody, then it clicked in.
