Always remember some young Rochdale college lads we had working weekends at our company, Pre Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. N.Ireland was really the only form of terrorism heard of and chatting to these young Pakistani lads was an eye opener. They would rabbit on about a war coming (I had heard very little of Islamic fundamentalism, in fact at the time (and still) i thought all religions were just full of crackpots seeking devine excuse to behave like c*nts to whatever group of people they felt was a threat to them or whatever twisted faith they follow(I'm a halfbreed child of Catholic Irish Mum and Protestant English father I was perhaps in my late 20s at the time.
The words went like this.
"The is a war coming, we are already flooding the west with drugs and shagging all the white slags to make more muslims and take over your country"
Weird, I laughed it off as big talk from Asian children.
The world changed...and added a ring of truth to what i had been told
How would legalising opiates affect the current works of isis and the islamic world in general, would it be better or worse for terrorism in this country?
Were these lads just full of shit and just reciting what was being taught to them by the older disaffected Asian community?
Legalising class A's would have a global impact and might see us become a destination of choice like Amsterdam for thrill seekers, just imagine Blackpool...with ketamine instead of Candyfloss ;)
