The economic angle is certainly the best way to turn some politicians. £4billion was spent last year in the UK on criminal justice for class A drug offences whilst the authorities seized around £583million of a £5.3billion industry. Sounds good on a press release, but essentially they have spent £3.4billion whilst allowing £4.7billion to go into the hands of organised criminals.<BR/><BR/>If this is in the UK alone, who knows what the wastage is across the globe. It baffles me to think that the government wouldn't prefer to spend that £4billion on education and rehabilitation of its citizens and still profit to the tune of £1.3billion to put into services for the country, or bombing small countries, whatever floats their particular boat this week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
