get their image of drug dealers from the Daily Mail* : an image of slavering, depraved, disease-ridden wrecks who loiter around school gates like dementors' embarassing relatives, forcing sweet little kiddies to inject heroin through dirty needles while wheezing and cackling through the broken, yellowed remnants of their few remaining teeth.
...which explains the shock they feel when they discover that drug dealers are, in fact, their own clean-limbed, glossy-haired sons and daugthers, pony-club membership, swimming trophies and Duke Of Edinburgh's award certificates and all.
* Or local equivalent rabidly-reactionary, vein-throbbingly self-righteous hack rag newspaper.
