No-where did he say it was not the murderer's fault; he correctly said it was drugs that made the victims so vulnerable to attack. He is absolutely right that it is drugs that drive people to prostitution. We live in a welfare state no matter how imperfect, no-one needs to prostitute themselves to survive. But social security does not pay enough for drugs. It is the craving for drugs that makes people take up such a dangerous and unpleasant 'trade'. It was no coincidence that these prostitutes who were murdered were on drugs. What else would drive them to the streets when it was already known a serial killer was murdering them? <br /><br />As for your economics they're haywire. Surely if we crack down on the dealers the supply will be restricted and the price will go up, not down? Heffer made the point that after the Chinese shot 6000 drug dealers they essentially solved their drugs problem a number of years ago. Now, I'm not suggesting that we resort to such brutality, but that fact does at least show that the liberal consensus of "nothing can be done" is wrong. Simply that it is a question of having the will and resolve to tackle the problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
