@JohnGolbunny oh please.. there is too many factors to just say "its a PERSONAL choice", even though it might sound to be the sole explanation

I was born and raised in Swansea. I left in 1986 (aged 21) and moved to London.

The people of Sansea are generally well meaning, humerous and kind. Their biggest problem seems to be their inclination to blame others for their own problems. The Labour Party (which has had near total control in Wales for generations) does nothing for these people - but tell them that its nothing to do with them.

The answer for many of their problems would be some personal responsibility and some self discipline

I've never used drugs. But I am a psychotherapist who has worked with addicts. You really need to learn a bit more about drugs before making silly comments. Learning a bit about genuine Marxism would make you look less silly too.

To all those saying things like 'don't blame society, its their choice that they do heroin'.. you don't have a clue about the circumstances these ppl were in or the childhoods these people had, they were raised by a society driven by drug addiction,theft etc.

Also people are saying 'they are to lazy to work, there are jobs in swansea'. Dont generalize all of heroin addicts as lazy, some have jobs and have a good work ethic, but become reliant on the drug and are forced to leave their jobs.
