Having skipped through the 200+ posts it appears that the string of comments/views on this incident has missed one salient point ....
Symptoms .....
- drowsiness or light headedness
- difficulty concentrating
- feeling confused or disorientated
- difficulty speaking, or slurring your words
- loss of balance and finding it hard to move
- lowered inhibitions
- paranoia (a feeling of fear or distrust of others)
- amnesia (memory loss) or a ‘black-out’ of events (when you cannot remember large sections of your evening)
- temporary loss of body sensation (feeling like you are floating above your body, or having an ‘out of body’ experience)
- visual problems, particularly blurred vision
- hallucinations (seeing, hearing or touching things that are not really there)
- nausea and vomiting
- unconsciousness
Cause (among other things!!!!) ...., spiked drink. Consider:
Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) and gamma-butyrolactone (GBL),
Tranquilizers, most often benzodiazepines, including valium and rohypnol, and
Ketamine
No-one appears to have considered Gaddafi's 5th columnists...., frequenting bars and restaurants in and around the off-duty areas with attempts to disrupt operations against their country. Are there any safeguards in place locally? Both accused should have had blood tests before departing for UK.
Press' says...., light blue touch paper and retire immediately.....,
