Hello Nick,

I edit a magazine about illegal drugs called Druglink. I am one of the few journalists in the country who is able to carry out investigations, and i love it. Anyway, i thought your book  was great. Below is a classic example of what you say is going on across the UK, which i bumped into while looking into the police-drug dealer merry-go-round. Look at the story (complete with picture byline) in the the local paper, the Mansfield Chad and then look at the Notts Police press release. Hey presto! Pot Noodle journalism.
