If the #vape / #sweet shops and #barbers in most towns in #England are really selling as much #drugs under the counter as the gammons claim they are, I would surely have thought we would still have a vibrant rave/party scene like in the 90s/00s...
I suspect the reality is whilst they might be evading some level of tax/regulations they are otherwise legit businesses with no more corruption than what white British folk had in their small businesses in Thatcho / Major's time (TBH I knew many record and fashion shops and night time venues that *were* essentially funded by laundered drugs money)

So conclude researchers from from the UK’s University of Portsmouth in a study published in the journal Skin Health and Disease. They surveyed 37 hair stylists and barbers in the city of Portsmouth, England. Only 5% of the group had any formal training and only one in four were actively looking at clients’ skin for the purpose of detecting lesions. Even so, 35% had told clients to check in with their medical teams for inspection of suspicious lesions. When they did, 39% of these clients were diagnosed with skin cancer. The hair professionals overwhelming embraced the idea of screening for skin lesions, and 92% of them wanted skin cancer awareness training. Nearly two-thirds of the group stated that the lack of formal training was the reason they weren’t probing their clients’ scalps already. The bottom line: when you are getting your hair cut, styled, colored, permed, or otherwise transformed, ask your stylist or barber to check your scalp for anything that looks unusual. If they find it, hand them your phone and have them snap a picture. You can then ask your medical team for an in-person exam or a formal dermatology consult. https://academic.oup.com/skinhd/advance-article/doi/10.1093/skinhd/vzaf015/8117746?login=false https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-05-hairdressers-early-skin-cancer.html#google_vignette #hairstylists #barbers# #scalplesions #skincancer".
