There was a story in today's papers quoting a guy from a Scottish Drugs Training Project, who basically said that if Leah Betts had been had been "fat and pimply", her death wouldn't have got the media coverage it did.<P class="body">Fair point? Possibly. It probably had a lot to do with the massive, well-oiled anti-drugs campaign which followed, lead by the poor girl's parents.<P class="body">BUT, you can guarantee that if she'd been a glue-sniffing bunter from a run-down estate there wouldn't have been anywhere near as much attention.
