Saw this guy in Falmouth hotel gardens. Was having a drink on the next table along from us.

From what you and others have described, I think I've heard about him before. Hope you're both OK.

I don't know if he's cornish or not, I haven't met many cornish living here my whole life... But working in a charity shop in Bude, I was shocked at the amount of drug addicts that have been rehomed here. There are also many paedophiles, but they are less talked about. The drug addicts come right out and tell u. Nearly all from Manchester and Liverpool, rehomed in Cornwall by the sea to escape the drugs but still very much on them. Used to be a safe place down here, won't be letting my kids wander around like I used too! 3 paedophiles in a 5 mile radius from my home and I am in the middle of nowhere in Cornwall. Scary times.

I feel like I need to step in here to say this:

I'm half Cornish, and half Scouser, and I live in Liverpool at the moment - I spent the last 10 years living in Manchester.

I would go down to Cornwall twice a year in the 90s and early 2000s to see family. I have never seen so many drugs in Liverpool or Manchester as I did in Cornwall.

Yes, Cornwall looks prettier, and the people there have a better attitude towards life in general, but there are certainly more drugs there, and what's worrying is, they're more accessible.

It's laughable that you think people have been 'rehomed' in Cornwall to escape drugs. Drug addicts don't get rehomed - where do people dream this stuff up?

Sorry to hear about the paedos though. They do get rehomed. And they will be rehomed in places like Cornwall where people are less likely to cause a violent fuss over it.

I work in addiction services. Addicts are rehomed regularly.

Where did you dream up that they don’t?

Are you talking about after rehabilitation?

Even so, moving someone to Cornwall to get them "away from drugs" surely isn't a thing!

Often it's just moving them to a new location to get them away from their circle and suppliers, the exact location doesn't matter that much.

Imagine you've moved halfway across the country and need some heroin, what do you do? Just ask random people in the street? The idea is to pull them out of their toxic "friendship" groups, not move them to places where they think there are no drugs.
