Well done to the Police.
Yes, well done to our police, however, the war on drugs is lost, its been lost for decades.
It’s destroyed lives, family’s, neighborhoods, and costs the taxpayers billions of pounds every year..
No government really know how to deal with it, it’s time we put the dealer out of business by giving drugs out for free.
Once that’s done, the drug addiction will not affect innocent people that are victims of crime related to drugs.
Then drug addiction can be treated without interference from drug gangster, I personally can’t think of any other way…
You have no idea “truth” take a walk around after dark and see the real world sweetheart xx
Dear nhs worker, thank you for your patronising reply, however, what is your point??.
Do you have anything to say about the evils of drug culture, do you have any solutions to offer??
I’m very willing to listen, because innocent peoples lives are being affected by this massive problem..
Absolutely! De-criminalise drugs and you de-value them, hence, you stop a lot of drug related crime, gangs, robberies, etc. Then you deal with drug addiction on a personal level. Driving under the influence of drugs is being dealt with in the same way as driving under the influence of alcohol but penalties must be much harsher.
Decades???? and the rest
Great job guys. But really, four police cars and about 8 of you? For cannabis? Didn’t look good as I drove past.
Well at least it wasn’t an Audi for a change
Probably a Ford Focus next….
But thanks to the Ford Focus its now almost acceptable to own a Subaru Impreza
Yes, ugly and pointless, also a death trap in the wrong hands….
But fun to take to a track day in the right hands
