In Great Britain in the 1980s there was widespread unemployment, largely due to government policy of running down industries without replacing any other areas of employment and of diverting wealth to the well-off. This social phenomenon was dealt with by GPs overproscribing Benzodiazepine tranquillisers such as Valium and Ativan. At least 3 billion were addicted. Many lives were consequently ruined.
In the following decades, sufferers took the matter to court, but their cases were arbitrarily stopped by the new government of the time.
In the present day, from 250,000 to a million (The Times: April 29 2017) are similarly addicted. According to the newspaper, GPs were warned over 4 years ago to stop proscribing these drugs willy-nilly. They continued to do so.
GPs are the largest drug-pushing group in the country, addicting millions. These drugs do not even do the job their makers claim they do.
