Britain now has the worst heroin problem in Europe according to the annual report from International Narcotics Control (INC), published on 2nd March.

TODAY, 90% of the heroin reaching Britain comes from opium poppies grown in Afghanistan, and the INC report reveals that since the invasion of Afghanistan there has been a twenty- fold increase in heroin production.

Last year Afghanistan exported a record 4,200 tons of heroin. Under the Taliban regime just 165 tons a year was produced. In turn this has flooded our streets with lots of cheap hard drugs. The price of heroin is now down to £26 a gram - when the Taliban ruled Afghanistan it was £83.

The international drugs watchdog also noted that the enlargement of the European Union to 25 countries, had made it much easier to get the drugs from Afghanistan to our shores. Get the heroin into Malta or Latvia and it’s as good as on the streets of Britain.

Tony Blair told the Labour Party Conference in 2000 that sending British troops to help Bush overthrow the Taliban would mean heroin production in Afghanistan could be ended, but as usual, he was lying.

Labour policy has seen young Britons in uniform die in far away mountains fighting someone else’s war, and young Britons out of uniform die here at home from drug abuse.

It’s time to bring our troops home from foreign wars, and fight the real enemy much nearer home. The drug gangs killing our children on the streets of our towns and cities.
