FAR TOO EASY

The Editor,

Saturday's Now ran two stories and an editorial on Gary Robinson's
years as a Surrey city councillor, his addiction to cocaine and his
recent misfortune.

The editorial, ("Robinson gives illness a human face") goes far too
easy on this man, who is the author of his own misfortune. Simply, it
is not true that "drug addiction could happen to anyone". Most of us
choose not to snort white powders or stick needles into our arms. That
behaviour is just plain stupid.
