Copyright violation

Copyright violation has been fixed, perhaps the new article could use the old site as a resource: [[1]] (scroll down to "5. Operation Julie - The best acid ever?")

I'm a bit surprised at the apparent lack of usable sources on the web for this topic. I would still have deleted the copyvio, but I was expecting it to be a lot easier to rebuild the article than it currently seems to be. I remember reading a book about it some time after the Tyne Tees programme, but I can't imagine what it might have been called. Telsa (talk) 14:27, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I do not want to get into a revert war, but the version that has been restored is a restoration of the copyvio: see WP:COPYVIO. It should not be here. Please undo it. (Just paraphrasing it won't be enough, btw, we need sources.) If the only GFDL'd content we have is a stub, that's what we'll have to have. Telsa (talk) 12:02, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I've just undone it again anyway. Telsa (talk) 12:12, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

BBC2 Wales TV program this week

LSD Millionaires Thursday 1 March (2007) BBC Two Wales/2W 9pm

I've just seen a trailer on TV, like others here I've allways been suprised about the lack of "stuff on the net" about this subject. Wallyjumblat 17:51, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seized LSD destroyed?

According to the well established book "Acid Dreams: The Complete Social History of LSD" by Martin Lee and Bruce Shlain the seized 1.3 kilograms of LSD actually went missing after the raid and was never accounted for. The book stresses that this issue is central in importance when considering operation Julie because of the staggering amount of the drug that disappeared after being taken possession of by the authorities. If no source can be found for the claim that it was destroyed then I suggest that it is altered. Yes yes I know, I should do it myself, but I'm at work right now and should get away from this page before it's seen what I'm working on ;) 82.161.163.90 (talk) 11:07, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Only people with reliable sources should add things to articles. Unknown Unknowns (talk) 07:51, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

PS I'm not surprised a large amount of LSD went missing, a lot of the cannabis on sale in Birmingham during the early 1980's was known as 'police surplus'.

I don't get the preceding comment. The book referred to is actually a serious source.158.223.181.93 (talk) 16:29, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Street value of LSD seized

Based on a news article on the BBC ^[1], one million tabs and enough LSD crystal to make 6.5m more was seized. The value according to this article was £100M (not the £6.5M mentioned). I've updated to the £100M unless there's another ref that categorically states the value of the seized drugs. Londonclanger (talk) 11:04, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

should the news article street value opinion be contested ??

(sorry, I'm not a wiki expert edit expert, so apologies for formatting errors)

- there's an inconsistency here - £100 mill for 7.5 mill tabs equates to over £12 a tab. Yet at the very beginning of this article it is reported that a tab cost £1 - rising to only £5 *after* the seizure of such a vast amount. (An obvious explanation is that newspapers are notorious for inflating the street value of drugs bust.) But for whatever reason the stated street value is a grossly misleading figure  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.205.194.164 (talk) 07:30, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
