This is a public injecting spot in the West Midlands
This is a place where people would come to and uh use drugs to publicly inject you just need to be mindful here because obviously there are needles here generally around here but obviously at the moment the leaves are covering them so you just need to be very careful I
Think your boots are probably okay there needles here several needles obviously there’s one here uncapped there’s another one here there’s one There and the debris that’s lying about it’s not difficult to understand then you know why people develop infections and you know become ill

Government lets drugs in to the country
On the first turn they tipped a bag of rubbish on the floor. Add some drammatic music and some commentary.
Things are not always as they seem 😅
aye, and they give us Scots a hard time over drugs…..
Fake government properganda they do it in smak houses
I walk through this woodland often as a local , the amount of times I’ve been roughed up by junkie pigeons , or hassled by a crack smoking squirrel is a joke . Only yesterday a badger asked me if I had a fiver for fuel , I knew exactly what he’d have spent it on absolute travesty
In Croatia Rijeka city they have special room for that.
Where is West Midlands ?
This is common in the USA. We often find needles on our walks.
Supply and demand. Cut off the supply and demand then follows. It isn't going to get better unless society gets better. Substance abuse is a sign of a weak society.
Imagine Britain in hand to hand combat against many other nations…..utter defeat.
Politicians have had long enough to deal with this problem. A different approach is required.
Sure that's not just one guy who really likes his drugs?
It is nice they go away from the public to do it. Where I live in Cov, they inject against the mesh fence of the primary school any time of the day.
I got a handie there once.
Wow great journalism 👏 needles in a park. Where have u been for last 30+ years
Ahh the good old war on drugs….I can get more now than I could when I was younger. It obviously is not working.
Ok, this may or may not be true and accurate (staged props etc). But working on the theory that it is true …… Surely, considering this is a "public" area, a daily "clean up" system would be in operation!!!
'PUBLIC'… it's in the middle of the woods surrounded by trees.
Rulers of their own destiny.
Is this Michael Gove's hideout?
See what I don't understand about junkies, do they not have homes to jack up in? Decriminalise, provide safe consumption rooms, people who are against this are bonkers.
This what youve done to Britain
