I can't believe that people think society is safer when non-violent granny is in jail taking up a space that could be keeping a violent criminal off the streets.

Nor can I but they are out here and they are everywhere.

You know, my mother is a 72 year old granny too. But she is a minister who has dedicated her life to the Lord...and in her time she has reformed many an addict to become a productive well balanced citizen...and no, she was never 100% successful, but she had many a success. Yet at the same time, she is opposed to the WOD and believes it an evil injustice to humanity...and you know, she's right!

Then she, like many of us, believes that the efforts being wasted on the WOD should be focused on protecting us all from violent criminals. Must be something wrong with her eh?

In my borough Hackney in London, we have had a number of drug busting operations, that end up with the arrests of a few dealers here a few dealers there who are soon replaced so I am told.

A couple of weeks ago I saw some men break into the yard of the factory opposite my window, I phoned my local police station, after around ten minutes of a ringing tone someone finally answered it took around a further 30 to 40 mins for them to get a couple of cars around there.

They apologised and had a good excuse lack of police resources.

I applaud the police efforts in busting pill poppers, pot heads and clubbers, after all it is more important to get them of the street rather than those who just indulge in ordinary crime the type that involves a victim as well as a criminal.

Cheers Tony
