    I haven't seen this and i wouldn't want to!! But i live in Kent and im now a 45 year old addict in recovery, ive lost many places because of running for county lines, they pinloint people like myself with rooms/flats, who are vulnerable and they offer a few of each of whatever your substance of choice, then you have to run for them, im out of that lifestyle now thank God, and I'm glad people are getting out of that lifestyle because its dangerous and they're capable of anything, my ex partner is still in that lifestyle!! But its hard to get away from it, i finished with the ex and thats how i got away!! I wouldn't do it again now though,!!

      i think ya wrong mate locking them up is no solition ive done a bit of reasearch into this and from what i can see right the police say theres 5000-10000 active lines in the uk well times that by 10 so potentially theres a 100000 lines active and lets say ya average line gang is between 10-20 members so thats i would say conservatively 7500000- 1000000 people actively involved in the running of the line just the line then you got local area gangs so for every line lets say conservatively they might deal with 2-3 gangs in the given area and lets say that gang has between 5-20 people directly involved talking over 2 million people as a low number been directly involved in serious organised crime that my friend is a serious crime wave now your saying oh just lock them up that means your placing people in a situation where in jail their gonna network get to know more serious criminals and their gonna harden to it and yep at some point they come out and be worse then they were before they went in county lines is gonna bring down soceity as and when it reaches critical mass police cant stop it theres nothing they can do about it its completely out of control and for now its in the background just simmering away but the day is coming whetre this wont be in the background anymore and just watch crime soar and violence and murder rates rocket and i mean rocket like in places where ya might get 2-34 murders in yrs that will end up been every month kind of thing and when it goes bang god help us all and its coming

      And that’s the issue. What was once a social drug for the wealthy is now a recreational drug for everyone. I’ve known sons’ friends with coke habits that have wrecked their lives and those around them. I’m afraid I’m one of the silent majority who rage against drug use but as you say supply feeds demand - we either accept this as a price to pay in a liberal society or crush it and apply a Final Solution to the Dealer/User Question. Either approach has brutal consequences for society. I know if someone fed my kids drugs - which hadn’t happened and they’re anti-drugs - I’d probably have dealt with it in a less-than peaceful manner.

      @@mikematthews2750 legalise drugs and put them under same controls as beer or tobacco people are gonna do it regardless and then problem solved takes away the gangs and the organised crime and i would expect a lot of people would probably stop using it and turn round there lifes it works in switzerland and other places they've done that why not the uk or is it the uks just full of half witted bigots and petty facists and their only solution is to punch it in the face

      I grew up in the poorest area in the UK I'm 36 now. From heroin to crack and people dead in dumpsters and beatings people never recover from. Gangs ran the area and traumatised many. 25 years on...guess what it's still the poorest area and gangs still run it....

    Unless the mental health problems are sorted out and people start healing from theyre traumas then drugs and dealers will always be a problem!! People don't want to feel they're trauma pain so they take something!!, sort the issues oht then the drugs wont be a problem!! many people are selling it now specially in kent and Medway!! Theres so much upset in the world that this wont ever stop!!
