An attack of common sense

Finally after years of knowing that the majority of petty crime is committed by heroin addicts trying to pay for their $2000 a week habit, the government in the UK are considering giving it away free on the NHS. OK, it'll cost $20,000+ per person but that to me sounds like good value for money. It'll cut burglaries substantially, thus giving thousands of people better quality of life, it'll help make insurance cheaper, and it'll give the addicts a chance to get on with their lives away from crime, which is pretty much their only avenue of funds. Three bloody cheers from me. Now, more common sense please.
