Heroin lies the problem

 

If there's something that'll make me vomit faster than a mouthful of ipecac, it's hearing the term safe-injecting rooms for heroin users.

The modern plague that's hitting our major cities will not be reduced by bleeding hearts softening the idea of shooting up in special rooms and calling it safe.

As anyone with half a brain will tell the warm-and-fuzzy tossers - injecting heroin is not a safe pastime. No matter what the sookie Political Correct Handbook has to say on the matter.

It's certainly not safe for the poor souls who use heroin, nor for the silly old buggers who happen to sit on a used needle - as I did the other day.

Talk about a pain in the arse. There I was one minute sitting down to have a nice sip of tea and the next I was hopping up and down like rabbit on speed. Ooops, sorry, bad analogy.

But you get the point. If people want to shoot up that's their affair, but let's not trivialise their death-defying ritual by saying they do it in a safe-injecting room.

Instead, we should tell it like it is. How about: Wrong Track, At Harm's Length, Do-Inject-Yourself Rooms, High-Ways to Hell, Hard-Shot Cafes?

If there is something that has really got up your nose, let Grumpy Old Coot know at grumpy@webwombat.com
