More than 1,600 arrested in county lines crackdown across England and Wales in ‘intensification week’

1. The use of children in distributing and dealing in drugs is grooming behaviour. It’s absolutely disgusting. The gangs at the top who import cannabis, heroin, fentanyl, coke and ket are also the same gangs that import humans and child sex slaves. Involved in the making and distribution of peado material and laundering of illicit money, including protection money. It amazes me how people justify themselves in lining their pockets with excuses like ‘ oh it’s just a bit of hash. It doesn’t harm anyone’ or ‘ I only do a bit at the weekend’. Well bad news! You are responsible for child sex slavery, human trafficking, drug importation and extortion. The fines for possession need to be increased massively. And sanctions imposed on individuals who buy illegal drugs.

2. A lot of far more edgy headlines in that one article.

   # Government kidnaps and executes 4 family pets!

   # Government closes county lines without notice to circumvent individual privacy rights!

   # Government confiscates prescriptions.

   “It resulted in 1,660 arrests, with 80-90% expected to be charged, as well as the closure of 261 county lines and the seizure of more than £3m of drugs, 557 weapons and four XL bully dogs.4XL Bully Dogs seized…”

   I am curious, what did the police Classify as a Weapon this time. [Was it another table leg in a plastic bag?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Harry_Stanley) [Was it a 3 and a quarter inch pocket knife](https://www.springfields.co.uk/blog/post/uk-knife-law-the-definitive-guide)… [how many walking sticks did they seize this time!?](https://www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/surrey-news/armed-police-called-woking-man-27430736)

   I wonder, how many of those “Drugs” were actually Prescriptions that the person merely forgot to keep the prescription note. After all, medications fall under the scope of controlled substances. The control of course, is the fact they need a prescription. “Carrying Dope” and “Carrying Oramorph for cancer pain”, is the same sentence to a pro government journalist.

   If the government outlawed your companion creature and then hoofed the door in and shot it dead, you wouldn’t be very impressed.

   The UK government has a long and storied past of SHOUTING ACCOMPLISHMENT whilst ~~begrudgingly mumbling apologies.~~

   I wonder how much compensation is going to be paid out to people who were unlawfully stopped.

3. Would you look at that, another issue the Tories let fester for over a decade that Labour are now just quietly getting on with sorting.
