Id wager we spend millions of pounds on these "Fake Wars" - The "underbelly" of society that everyone partakes of but the pious wont admit to, the things that against all logic and reason are illegal-
It generates billions of pounds to keep the status quo, keep them illegal. Thousands of jobs in hundreds of agencies to fight these evils..
The world would be a safer place if drugs and prostitution were removed as power bases for criminal gangs, but the apperatus of state has to much invested in ,policing, lawyers, courts, prisons, prison guards, rehabilitation, probation
its a fucking industry like any other
