        No, but I have been there several times.

        In a hurry to get my train so this was the first link I found, bit old.

        Police 'can't cope' as Vietnamese flood drugs trade | UK news | The Observer

        They have pretty much all of the UKs hash/grass market and are moving onto selling other stuff.

            Minestrone is right. Can't find the link now but recall they account for 60% of skunk cannabis growing. Sometimes kids smuggled from Vietnam to provide the labour. This is an organised crime that links to high tech cannabis growing in Vietnam.

            Another of the frequently peddled PC myths is that problems of migrants all stem from racism and marginalisation here. Yet for every instance of major migrant/minority crime or social problems anywhere you will almost always find that same major crime/problem in the originating country. Economic usefulness too, the success of migrants here correlates rather well with the education and dynamism of their countries.
