  1. if poverty causes crime, that probably explains why our local “usual suspects” are getting ready for a Tory winter of crime

    Back to bleak 1970s we go

  2. I’d say their parents must be so proud, but if a 9yr old can be out selling drugs it is clear their parents don’t give a shit

  3. Have you ever seen any film ever? The kid is the front of the business with the car full of thugs round the corner. Kids get away with it.

  4. Back in the day I went to the Stonehenge festival on my bike. I arrived, put my side stand down, got off, and was immediately greeted by a small child with tray of clingfilm wrapped resin dope. I think he was younger than nine. I was a regular dope smoker, but even I was shocked. We’re talking the late 70’s here, so this isn’t new. What’s new is it isn’t a few hippies, it’s violent street gangs exploiting schoolchildren, to avoid drug convictions, as regular behaviour.

  5. Investigate multiple safeguarding and social
    failings that lead to this?

    Na.

    Arrest kids and put them in our broken criminal justice system?

    Yeah.

    Also lol at the 14 year old “producing” his own cannabis.
