And are you suggesting that bread and butter issues like:
Food inflation. fuel/energy inflation, mortgages, 10% tax band
abolition, fear of crime, immigration somehow featured secondary in
Londoners' coonsiderations when compared with the availability of
drugs?
I think you'll find that the detection of cocaine on banknotes is more
of a testimony to the sensistivity of the detection method used than
the prevalence of cocaine use.
Not every possessor of a banknote contaminated with cocaine is a
cocaine user. Not every such note has ever been in the possession of a
user. I think you'll find the culprits are rollers found in banknote
sorting machinery and ATMs through which banknotes pass many times
during their lives. |
