I live in London, in a lovely area, but quite mixed, as most of London is. Recently I have become highly aware of how much drug dealing takes place round me and I feel rather disturbed by it. It’s not that it has a direct impact on me, but I just feel rather angry and frustrated that it’s happening, everyone knows it’s happening, and yet nothing is being done about it because the police don’t have the resources. And in the meantime all these people are making a living out of other people’s misery.
Just as an example, this morning I was walking in a street very near my house and I saw a car park and then two very dishevelled guys got in with the driver. It was clear they were buying drugs. I actually made eye contact with the dealer and had this momentary impulse to take down his registration number but firstly I would be too scared of possible implications for my safety and secondly the police would probably do nothing. There is also someone who lives in my street who sells drugs and this has been going on for years.
