Drugs and Chav problem

[GEaston]

I had 5 kids under 10 in my charge at the time, so there's no way I'm going to deal with him.

No one in the town seems to admit the town has a drugs problem much less care about it. The notion that people out of town should care more about it than those that do live in the town is an interesting though flawed concept.

The new guy to the forum is still correct whether you want to listen or not. Question is, what is it about this town that makes it so much worse than others? (This side of Scotland at least).

Drugs problems exist all over, not just here, as do people who make assumptions about others without knowing all the facts. Just because someone has a needle in their arm doesn`t mean they are a heroin user.

Gpick - are you blind to what occurs in your town? Surely you've been around the town by St James church / bottom of Warner Street. I've been there plenty and I've yet to walk around the place without seeing drugs, drunks or violence and that's during the daytime.

It is rare to the extent I see it in your town. There are parts of Glasgow and Airdrie that are similar but no it's not normal for any uk town.

No, I know there is a drugs problem and have seen it first hand with people I know (admittedly not heroin). What I`ve also seen is people injecting themselves with prescription medicine, how can you tell from what you saw if it was heroin or something else.

I think you're wasting your time gpick, he knows everything and we know nothing nor do we care about our town.

Family Guys just about to start and it's the second in their Star Wars specials, really kick ass funny.

Never watched Family Guy, Outnumbered Christmas Special is best I could find.

A few of reasons:

1) Injected medicine doesn't cause an immediate unconscious state.
2) most medicines including insulin are not injected into the inner arm at the elbow.
3) I've known heroin addicts and diabetics.

Even if you want to play devils advocate and give him the benefit of the doubt. Let's say he was injecting water...... the results at noon on a weekday are pretty shocking, and aren't what you see in the average church yard.

I don't see a lot of point in arguing the obvious. What would be better would be a discussion around what the mayor /police / social services and council should be doing about it. This is a governance issue.

I think most people on here blame the maundy shop for bringing out of town, for want of a better term, low lives, into accrington. I don`t know a lot about it except what i`ve read on here.
Just a point for your
No.1 - If you need an insulin injection and don`t do it quick enough wouldn`t that cause you to lose consciousness,
No.2 - If you need to inject medicine quickly, wouldn`t you go for the easiest option i.e. not pulling your pants down in a churchyard or try to remove a coat
Saying that you are right, i am playing devils advocate. just to make a point that it`s not usually a good thing to make assumptions.

Never seen anybody injecting anything. Closest ive come is finding the toilets closed on peel street...

[GEaston]

I see the maundy shop getting a lot of flack here also, and it is also the only place I've heard about it.

Less - nice to see at least one turkey surviving the Xmas cull. Seasons greetings, even to you.

Are Chavs the same as Bogans.

[gpick24]

I would say yes.
