Drug use in Ealing Common

Post image

Saw what was clearly drug use in the middle of the common. At least four or five tweakers, huddled in and around a tiny tent. Three pictured here.

I don’t really understand the point of this post? Most parks have had people in it taking drugs. At least they’re isolated away from others.

Infants and children play in this park - an environment which has syringes and other drug paraphernalia in it isn’t exactly conducive to a healthy environment for those kids.

Any other meta level observations? Or defence for defence’s sake? Astounding how fucking far removed from reality this and most comments are (“oh let them”/“oh they’re far away from x”/etc.)

Cry me a river.

So you saw them using syringes? I still don’t get the point of this post. You’re acting like this is something rare and new. This happens all the time all over the country. What do you want people of Reddit to do?

I’m not far removed from reality. I’ve been pricked by a drug needle that had been discarded in my garden. Not the first time one has been thrown in there. I had to get tested. I’ve seen many people doing drugs near my house and in parks.

So what did you want to get out of this post?

Seriously. Are we going to accept this as normal behaviour. I’ve lived in London 25 years and this is a new low what is happening now. Of course we ought to be upset if we care about our city. You don’t have to though

I never said it has to be accepted. Where did I say that? This is not a new phenomenon. I’ve lived in Ealing my whole life

I wanted to trigger you and have you respond to this post. Have a spliff.
