    not shocked at all, lets lock them up and exploit a few less people who basically aren't bad but have badness forced upon them.

    Follow the money and cut off at the serpents head.

    This is all fueled by demand. Remove the demand the the problem goes away. Crack down on the users, not the suppliers. Or legalise use and make the government the supplier.

    Cracking down on the suppliers only increases demand.

    They would be across county lines then the origin of the term.

    I know people who work in certain services plus youth who are/were schooled in London this century.

    You are aware that Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester, Nottingham, etc are separate cities?


    Maybe you should do more reading up and speaking to people than making assumptions on what ethnicities are involved in smuggling, cutting, growing, selling and buying drugs even in London.

Then I remember the big arrests around county lines most where white. I thought it odd all the black associates and corporals were so fixated on their culture while working for white crime bosses.

    Clearly if the higher ups are middle class folk they are going push those lower down to recruit from a wide enough circle to keep their money rolling in.

    Legalising drugs means the police would have to spend more time chasing the higher ups than the small fry. Though the police would have a problem when they find out who some if the higher ups are.

    This stuff is easy to find out if you don't know people who deal with it e.g. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...nty-lines.html
