Have heard Lion king is great, have seen wicked and school of rock on Broadway, both really good but Wicked was the best.

What a front line Bankies have, goals coming from everywhere with McClair, Shelvey and Little and the new signings have found the net. Exciting times.

Yeh you’re right, for every brexit voter who did so because dey took our jabs there is a no voter who did so because ranjers or alex salmonds wife.

If Scotland doesnt get out now we genuinely just deserve everything that these blue rinse backed nazi b*****ds can do to us. Ffs imagine wanting to remain a part of a country that has legislated to make it harder for any Scottish MP to ever govern and a country that takes all your resources and makes you feel like a subsidy junkie. Imagine wanting to remain part of a country governed by a man who openly hates Scotland, in a party which has been openly racist towards Scottish MP’s in the chamber and wants to shut down the immigration that Scotland badly needs. What a fucking riddy.

Thats tinpot behaviour!

I dont really think its a measure of any leagues ‘magic’ etc when you think that one club will decide what happens. I couldnt give a stuff what Talbot fans want and im sure they feel the same about other clubs. That said it’s their club but away and have a word with yourself if you think everyone’s waiting for Talbot. Any club waiting for another club to decide is absolutely devoid of any ambition.

There is only one promotion spot for the lowland league so there is a need for a playoff.

I agree with your list of pros and cons and have said for a long time that the best answer is for the sjfa to split, there clearly are a large number of clubs against going senior and they should never be made to do something they dont want to. That said these clubs shouldnt be able to hold the other clubs back.

Possibly, I dont really care about league position in what’s essentially a meaningless league, but I would care if it went somewhere. Bring it.

I think its increasingly more likely if Talbot want to go senior they’ll have to join a breakaway league.

Dunno about junior football being magic or enchanted, perhaps haunted.

The actual cost of smack is tiny, thats why even in poor countries like Philippines you get huge drug problems, drugs are more expensive here because of the extra transport costs and higher cost of living. Organised crime groups can make good money off drugs in any country.

Do I speak to victims of crime? Yes, several on a daily basis. Are they the priority yes. But isnt the best way to fix a problem to reduce the cause of it? That way you reduce the number of victims. If we began giving scripts for heroin and safe places to use it, I absolutely guarantee that almost immediately drug deaths, drug related acquisitive crime and violence will reduce. The associated cost of treating drug abuse related chronic medical conditions will also significantly reduce. Having diversionary and supportive counselling available in these treatment houses would also make access to treatment much easier. All of this would be far cheaper than locking people up. Addiction is an illness. People feed addictions by committing crime, the two are naturally ‘conflated’.

Opiate abuse is seen in upper classes yes, but quite often it appears to be use of non-heroin opiates like codeine and prescription drugs. Use of cocaine is as expected actually higher in upper class groups in terms of regular/habitual use, which actually given the comparative cost of heroin/cocaine shows the point about people with traumatic experiences using heroin to blot out psychological pain has significant merit. There is absolutely no doubt in upper classes there are people with heavy drug habits, i’ve encountered that, but many are functioning because they have the means to do so.

Hopefully they can help locate your brain whilst you’re in.

Every single piece of scientific data on poverty and drug misuse shows a direct correlation. Look at the work of Harry Burns. Are there anomalies f**k yes, but the use of heroin amongst the upper classes is no where near the level of working class etc. Am I saying that every single person who is a drug user had a traumatic childhood etc, no, but that in itself is the biggest contributor to drugs misuse amongst adults and older children. Are there those who simply just make the choice to use drugs and become hooked, well yes, but again wouldn’t it be better to help them get better than writing them off? Wouldnt it be better to turn them into a functioning member of society with a job or their own business and do something positive? No one is beyond help. There is a degree of choice in every decision to use drugs, but hopefully i’ve highlighted that for many that choice isnt simple.

The things ive mentioned are the biggest causes of people turning to addiction, so no i probably wouldnt. I wont give up on you either, because it takes a really huge c**t to write people off entirely because of a character flaw or behaviour that may have been imparted on them.

See if we provided a decent standard of social work, parenting classes, immediate access to health care for psychiatric trauma and low levels of poverty in this country, i’d be the first to agree with the above statement.

Are you currently in a hospital?

Cool go spend 10/15 years getting molested by a family member or being dragged up by a parent who doesnt give a f**k and tell people they’re the problem.

Choose to become junkies? Ok so my wife is a GP, someone comes to her, abused within an inch of their life by a close family member and they are desperate for help to process and deal with the pain they feel, my wife has to say to this 18 year old, sorry there is a 6month waiting list for psychiatry and the person has to wait to even begin the healing process. Is it unfeasible that this person has no other place to turn but to take some drugs to block out that pain? I’m not even a drinker but Heroin users have told me the effect of the drug makes life bearable for them. So i can imagine that people turn to things which become habitual to block out the pain. That then in some cases turns to crime, vicious circle. Because we have the society we live in then we all have a duty to help the weakest and most vulnerable, ie drug users and victims of crime. We can wipe out much of this vulnerability by dealing with drug misuse compassionately, increasing access to alternatives and not writing people off. Can i say that I think criminal behaviour is justified, f**k no, but I can empathise with people who feel there is no alternative.

Have a look at street and arrow, some of their testimonials, no one is beyond saving. Some just take more time.

Go have a look at projects like street and arrow and tell me people who are drug users are beyond help.

Mate I literally spend most of my day helping victims of crime. The best assistance we can give them is cutting the volume of crime. I dont want people free to prey on society, I want drug misuse to be seen as a public health emergency and stamped out. Have you any idea how much it costs to keep someone locked up? Or to treat chronic addiction and associated health impacts like HIV/HepC? If we stop the drug misuse we stop everything. Locking up people with an illness doesnt help anyone.

Merrily telling you? Ffs man its a fucking tragedy this is happening but its pretty clear your ‘lock the b*****ds up’ approach which is all we’ve ever had isn’t working.
