Brighton is being used as a back door by the pro drugs ‘reform’ lobby

The drug consumption rooms that Brighton’s committed drug legalising Green MP, Caroline Lucas, proposes, risk inflating the very public health and social problems she claims they would mitigate, writes Kathy Gyngell.

Brighton has an acute drug problem. But the much media-hyped ‘independent’ report laid before Brighton Council today offers no analysis of it at all. Nor does it investigate how this parlous state of affairs came about.

As far as this depressingly negative report is concerned the problem is here to stay. All that can be done is to mitigate its worst consequence – drug deaths.

Poor Brighton, should it follow this advice.
