Submitted by Josh Palmer – Deadline to sign up by: 27 March 2008 – Signatures: 531
The Times detailed, on the 20th Jan 2008, that the "Church" of Scientology is exploiting the British Police to distribute materials with no basis in fact. I quote: "Officers have been handing out booklets that praise the science fiction writer L Ron Hubbard, the church’s founder, and describe both prescription and illegal drugs as “poison”." This is irresponsible at best, and at worst, manipulating the Police to promote a commercial organisation. These "anti-drug leaflets" are nothing of the sort- the charity DrugScope said "These booklets… should not be allowed in schools." The booklets went so far as to claim that Scientology’s version of drug "therapy" was "the safest, most effective - and only - detoxification procedure of its kind". This is, of course, a complete untruth. In conclusion, leave drugs policies to the experts, and sever any future links between the Police and any other commercial organisations.
