Climate change won’t ruin future, drugs will

-

YOU won’t stop knife crime, or gun crime, until you stop drug crime, and it takes more than platitudes to solve this problem.

Drugs aren’t about a few wraps on the street, this is about a multibilli­on-pound operation and its backers go right to the top of our financial services.

It might seem like the elite are detached from the kid on the bike, flogging their filth, but the reality is this is about money and a commodity. And drugs are a much in-demand commodity.

So, unless we as a society recognise what drug crime is, then I’m afraid it’s not climate change that will destroy our kids’ futures... it’s drugs.
