A series of books analysing Britain's response at tackling crisis issues facing the country and whether or not there is a reluctance to acknowledge or tackle these predicaments. I want to explore the reasons for this and discuss why we appear seemingly incapable of fixing these, ever increasing, wide ranging conundrums. From drug and alcohol abuse, the welfare state, the criminal justice system, poor public transport, housing/school shortages, the role of the media, what to do with NHS and how do we care for our increasing elderly population. More importantly I want to find out how we can bring back the respect we once had for each other and the community we live in. Are we really on the verge of starting to become world leaders in failing systems and broken communities despite our economy doing well? If we are then, what do we do? How do we turn this around? Why has it happened? The Drugs Epidemic & NHS Crisis, is the first double topic of a series of books, where I will discuss just that. Britain is now the top country in Europe for Cocaine consumption and the purity, along with that of super strength Cannabis and new synthetic drugs such as Spice, is getting stronger and more plentiful. People, the police in particular, will point to the drop in police numbers for this increase, but are we deluding ourselves by thinking this. Are people, myself included, who do not take drugs just not able to comprehend that no matter what we do, people will want to take substances whether they are illegal or not for the effect they get. Are we spending too much time and money on a losing battle that has allowed criminality and gangs to benefit while vulnerable people suffer? Have we created a problem that doesn't need to exist and are we looking at this epidemic the wrong way.What to do with the NHS, politicians usually fail to go for a week without talking about it. We are continually informed of the impending doom looming and how it would appear to all intents and purposes that the NHS is in a permanent state of crisis and in the winter months, it is on the verge of complete collapse like a worn torn country hanging on for dear life. Is this the reality or is it just an old institution that through failing to modernise efficiently, with increased unexpected users to A&E and insurmountable unnecessary bureaucracy, it has allowed its function and role for its hard working staff impossible to fulfill.
