Colin Downes-Grainger, Condolences & Tributes, December 2009.

Recollections of Colin's Life, December 2009.

Announcement: It is with profound sadness and an overwhelming sense of shock that I report that Colin Downes-Grainger passed away suddenly on Wednesday, November 25, 2009. Over the years Colin and I had become quite close friends and I had nothing but great admiration and respect for his dedication to the benzo cause and all that he achieved. I am indebted to him for all the kindness and constant support he showed me. I shall miss him terribly. Ray Nimmo, November 27, 2009

• The Story of a 30 Year Addiction to Benzos, Colin Downes-Grainger, September 2002.

The benzodiazepine story shows more clearly and with more evidence than anything else, the power of those who run a democracy to ignore the suffering of whole swathes of citizens – a condition which they allowed to happen and egregiously ignored. To protect themselves and the system, they permitted the perpetual destruction of individuals who otherwise might have lived the lives of normal human beings. Colin Downes-Grainger
