It's quite easy to demonise and belittle people if their actions are making Brixton a shitter place to live I'm afraid.grosun said:Also, in a general way (again, not directed @ your posts or anyone's in particular), although I find it quite easy to buy into, I find the whole idea of "drug tourists" a tad sanctimonious & inverse-daily-mail ish... these "tourists" are just people who'd like a smoke & don't know where else to go in order to score.. yes, they have a negative impact on Brixton, but I should imagine that's hardly their intention, nor, I'm sure, would they go there & risk being ripped off if they had somewhere better to go. It's easy to demonise & belittle people when you lump them under an easy label.
If they enjoy a smoke, fine - buy off mates, grow your own or whatever. If they're not able to do that, well that's their problem innit. Just don't help fuck up the area that I live in is all. Not too much to ask.
