Drugs sale in Kent. Hurry! Hurry!

The latest Kent Police drugs raid of a supermarket(!) full of cannabis plants (over 1,000) in Ramsgate town centre here in East Kent raises several concerns.

A supermarket full of drugs puts Boots and Superdrug almost to shame - the cannabis site was previously a Blockbuster video store (shades of old technology) and then a Morrisons supermarket (in its strategic search for different formats in the discounter wars with Lidl and Aldi).

With Helmand in Afghanistan producing 90% of heroin for UK - again the highest ever production which raises issues over what NATO have been doing for years. And Shan heroin in Myanmar - the remaining 10% of UK heroin - and flooding across the border to India and China and damaging their citizens without an Airbase Heroin similar to Khe Sanh.

And Frontline Kent's role in the Golden Triangle of Europe with London and Paris and Amsterdam nearby.

The Thailand cave rescue of the Wild Boar youth football team in Chiang Rai in what was the Golden Triangle of Thailand and Laos and Myanmar testimony of the efforts of cleaning up hard drugs use and supply with Doitung and OTOP etc.

The decline of the Kent Blue Light football cup a missed opportunity in Sports Diplomacy with Arsenal guidance, and Kent's Margate, Gills and South London's Millwall and Crystal Palace and West Ham etc etc.

While Canterbury has upto 30 rough sleepers each night on the High Street, Ramsgate lucky to have just half a dozen, although the bizarre incident of the tent pitched two years in a row, and the only item with police parking tickets in the pedzone, all contribute to the real concern of a lack of police patrols in Kent town centres and waves of drugs in UK towns.

Prowl cars of no use if they never stop or merely become a fire brigade responding after the event or petty hopscotch patrols. Chief Constable Pughsley a keen yoga fan, as well as zumba, tieng himself in knots to beef up the detective squad rather than just a guncop goon squad sat by the caviar and champagne fountain in the police canteen.

Indeed there is a wider argument of court reforms and white collar criminal lawyers and barristers as with Glick QC and Hollingworth of the One Essex Court fraud team to both free up the courts for rapid response on drugs crimes and the law and accounting funding of drugs crimes.

Even the extra sentencing effort on a Kent Extra Year or 10 Day Prison for drugs crimes.

Kent even failing on Almeria links so far but not descending as yet to hiring Colombian drugs lords as tourism spokesmen as in Carboneras.

But without juries to restrain the excesses of the law courts who knows what dodgy deals are done in closed courts. A Conway of Lawrence Stephens solicitors and Judge Daley order on the back of a brown envelope? And even dusty old Judge Dutton not sure if fraud is even a crime and bizarrely holding his own Appeal: Judge Dutton on reviewing Judge Dutton's case finds Judge Dutton is correct.

Absurd but just silly old man wandering in out of the rain to set up a court that would be more suited to the back room of a pub. Marking your own homework, and then some, on the rates, and with other people's property is an apt statement of truth.

### A pandemic of drugs ###

The new Novichok poisoning though in Amesbury near Salisbury with a heroin and drink addict highlighting the County Lines problem in all UK market towns. And possibly discarded drugs kit such a syringes or vials causing the latest Novichok outbreak. Perhaps some discarded from the horrifying Sunday Times report on NHS euthanasia by syringe drivers and Dr Mengele care homes and now baby units.

Novichok cases a concern highlighted not just with the Spanish Flu 1918 pandemic but 49 measles deaths across Europe this year. The New European newspaper citing not just a 3(!) page article on the Brexit delays at Dover port, but also the NHS issues of Brexit: the reduced use of E111 health cards for expats and tourists, EUrAtom availiability of isotopes for Xrays etc and the key roles of the EU Disease Centre in Stockholm for Pandemics and 1M EU Rare Diseases.

The latter in need of DNA research as with cancer and dementia. Even diabetes and arthritis.

As the wheels finally fall of the Brexit bus and it runs out of gas outside the Chequers Summit, perhaps a PM Hunt with NHS heft, and Govey and Sajiv frontrunners in the reshuffles to rip up Brexit and new elections in 2019 with Fox and Greening.

Leaving Novichok 14 dissident assassinations aside for a moment (a pint of Novichok to go with your Polonium sandwich Comrade? Perhaps down the out-of-control town centre booze barns of Wetherspoons), the Sunday Times detailing the ISIS raid on Mosul University in 2014 that managed to gain uranium isotopes for a dirty bomb and only by accident missed the Cobalt90 far more dangerous isotopes.

Presumably there are tighter checks on isotopes in other universities and manufacturers and hospitals and airports? There are?

A sarin Tokyo subway attack again not impossible, nor another nasty rash of anthrax attacks cropping up in Wall Street or Madison Avenue and Piccadilly Circus.
That a sobering reality for Chief Constable Pughsley (and his Dover port, and Kraken sea and Pegasus air smuggling work in Frontline Kent). The Chief also has a friend who is concerned at the Pfizer Viagra drugs increase announced in USA this week, despite POTUS Trump's concerns along with MS13 Central American drugs gangs running amok through Mexican and American ghettos.

Along with NHS concerns over £2 skin creams sold for £90. You could buy 4 machetes for that in Kent and still have change for the Kent Police drugs den raid fund.

### Trump in the snow of Helsinki ####

Surely the Helsinki Summit with POTUS Trump and President Putin in Helsinki not only raising the issue of the details of the Novichok attacks now the Russian labs have been demolished, or celebrating the great success of the World Cup beyond mere Russophobia, but laying the groundwork for detente on nuclear disarmament.
500 nukes each? Under 50 for every other nuclear nation - especially with the UN nukes ban now in force. And the Hiroshima anniversary so near and most nuclear missiles 10x that holocaust.

What soldiers and manufacturers and clerks would risk war crimes trials for handling nukes? Look at the reduction of napalm and landmines and Agent Orange biological and Mustard gas chemical weapons already. Possibly phosphorous. Even those Novichok chemical labs rapidly blown up.

POTUS Trump no doubt casting his shrewd property developer eye, not just in Helsinki or St Petersburg, but over the value of the new NATO $1BN office block in Brussels. Or the silly bloat of UK Colonel Blimps attempts for a 3% UK military tax budget despite the UK overspending on the agreed 2% NATO target without even specifying what beans and bullets and boots are included.

With Berlin that much closer to Russia and spending less than 1.5% for panzers and subs without Uniparts, and only 30k US Army Europe troops as an initial tripwire, a UK reduction to 1.5% would be sensible with a roadmap to Moscow in the EU.

The Balaklava -Scottish trooping of the colour and keys - and Murmansk regiments and invasions usually of that much more concern to Russia over the years.
And the supposed uplift of a further 1.5% deployed to the NHS with its shortfall, of c.2 or 3 percentage points compared to most European medicare systems. No wonder with £2 skin cream costing £90. Ambo Woody must be chomping at the bit to expand Johnson and Johnson and Janssen in UK with those prices. £88 profit. That's nearly three American slum-hospitals.

Although he could write his own cheque here in East Kent's Pfizer Discovery Park. Dollars, Euros and Sterling accepted. Even a yen for Yen and Yuan. Perhaps a free bag of heroin and an invite to the Kent Police Xmas party. The noisy newsagents and streetdrinker shop raids always take place no later than December.

With North Korea surely the basis for an astonishing two Nobel Peace Prizes in a year for POTUS Trump. Even a hat-trick of his own with increased peackeeping in the carnage of DRC Congo.

And a UK McMasters Strategy far more realistic in the UN Habitat slums of African and Arabian peacekeeping and prosperity than Cold War fantasy tank battles across Russia and Germany again.

Although there's more white powder in Kent than Helsinki at the moment.

But the Blockbuster drugs site is exactly the sort of return-to-use and turnkey projects needed in town centres to boost the local economy (carpenters? electricians? builders?) and deny them to the drugs gangs. The Daily Mail already vigorously campaigning on the death of the High Street whether business rates or online stores or lack of stores or inept management.

Every Ramsgate shop should be cleaned and repaired ready to switch on the lights and open the doors even without the failed Mary Portas expensive flannel.
Or the potential, located out of town, as with the empty Manston warehouses, used as (very) temporary homeless shelters by the Sally Army and Red Cross with portaloos, beds and clean clothing and bedding and rapid DSS support and beach-cleaning jobs to limit and reduce junky tourism.

Certainly London social dumping reaping a grim toll in Kent. Margate headmaster Matt Tait cited in The Times of Kent teachers as social workers first.

Many schoolchildren might also get on the Corbyn bus of recent days rather than the Brexit bus back to a far-right fantasy of 19th century welfare and child chimney sweeps, with NAO (National Audit Office not a NATO typo) rightly citing a smartphone and computer as essential for modern life. Probably a Raspberry Pi and 3D Printer and free wifi too.

Even healthy school dinners as detailed by chef Jamie Oliver, and begun in Virginia with the McAuliffe administration swimming through the sharks and reefs of budget deficits etc that the KCC of the Toxic-Three-now-Two at the County Barn under Paul Carter struggles with despite a $3BN budget and most £100k salaries in UK local councils and highest councillor salaries.

### Remain and Reform ###

That gravy train as with the Remain and Reform needed in Strasbourg has run out of steam just as ASEAN Rail is picking up pace with Meiji Kent Hitachi and Fujifilm groups. East Kent as a Euroregion already would easily qualify for associated EU membership even without associated Northern Ireland and Eire passports. Zut alors. A hard border on the Medway. Tarmacking over West Kent in Operation Stuck-in-the-mud-and-past for once.

All that mere pennies compared to a nuclear submarine, or nuclear accident and Nuclear Winter (just look at the disruption from the minor air burst of the Bali and Iceland and Hawaii volcanos), and cheap compared to that vanity white elephant NATO HQ or gold-plated Ramsgate $1m fire station garage.

Government budgets used to fund more backoffice memo clerks of minimal use - indeed the rampant corruption and incompetence at TDC and RTC resulting in all government funds being cut to stimulate protests and riots, or at least gnashings of dentures (Ramsgate's Fort Hill main dentist closed, and the Stroke Unit?) amongst Kent's geriatric governance.

I'm hearing reports of new heroin dens in Newington requiring no doubt police undercover work and in prisons rather than the bizarre Lush Spycops incidents or pricey and unregulated Met facial recognition software detailed by Green Lords Jenny Jones. A step change to Tiananmen up from Kent Police's PredPol Minority Report.

While the teen knife deaths in Tottenham which may as with the POTUS Trump visit require support from Kent Police, but County Lines drugs mules moving drugs out of London into the regions. Although presumably the Ramsgate Blockbuster drugs were going into London.

And Unite trade union's Len McClusky wisely warning of the choking effects of Japanese knotweed in the Brexit garden with London's breakfast table - and cocaine supplies - hampered by wave after wave rail and ferry and airport and lorry strikes in a summer and winter of discontent at falling living standards.

### Infamy infamy ###

UK already nearer G27 than G7 GDP per head. And that before Jaguar Landrover or Siemens or Airbus or Nissan or Ford or Toyota or Honda or HSBC or Deutsche Bank or EU Medicines Agency leaving or downsizing in what is clearly UK's kamikaze Brexit.

Not since Mitsubishi began have there been so many Zeros on the horizon of the balance sheet.

Ageing hulks such has Boris and Davis even Corbyn long since holed below the waterline in UK's political Pearl Harbor.

A policy that will live on in infamy remembered by the droves of EU workers and nurses leaving these shores whether from the orchards or hospitals. Maybe the cocaine and heroin industries can take up the slack. Afghanistan and Colombia and Mexico are doing OK with successful drugs industries?

Certainly Mitsubishi innovations as its heads-up displays for car windscreens - windshields if you prefer - needed in Meiji Kent and more widely.

Especially if the Kent Police Uniforms Dept is delaying on tactically deploying Hello Kitty socks or a Doraemon hanky, even Isaan silk trews linings with or without a Sailor Moon. And PM May's Frieda Kahlo bangle probably attracting much appreciation from Ramsgate fashionistas such as Vivienne Westwood.

While there are as yet no explanations of the Manston-Infratil pollution monitors crimes nor the cocaine flights of jumbo jets landing at 3am when the airport closed at 11pm. Nor EgyptAir cargo planes taking off from Cairo when Manston was already closed. Even UN banned flights and IranAir sanctions busting flights. Osama himself could have been flying into Big Ben from the safe havens of NATO and Commonwealth frenemy Pakistan.

Maybe flights from Sahel, and narcostates such as Guinea and Malta and Albania, or Sudan next. Cyprus with more money laundering than Londonski. Those One Essex Court and Palmer Biggs and Lawrence Stephens and FRP whitecollar criminals and bog-standard lawyer theft again.

Indeed with streetdrinkers sat under new ASBO Streetdrinker signs there may need to be Kent Ghurkas deployed to escort Kent Police on patrols -£250M budget and 6k staff with senior staff on upto £350k salaries - or the Girl Guides as MiniCops volunteers on the rates.

Perhaps a team of Hash Brownies. With a machete each.

Certainly the Girl Guides have more to do with their innovative Period Poverty badges against the cost of aiguilette curtain braid and feather duster epaulettes for police uniforms, and a pretty velcro Union Jack with a thin blue line on it.

Even reducing turnups on police trews could be a saving of almost 112.999%. Approximately.

Certainly more police forensic scientists needed at CCU Broadstairs with a fashion college and tourism campus.

And Brexit a delay on NHS DNA research rollout. Those 1M EU Rare Diseases again or 70 years of NHS data stuck in a Crapita cupboard somewhere gathering dust or thrown in a skip with the Windrush records. Microsoft could be getting on with it as we speak.

A 70M NHS database the work of moments for Silicon Valley and Roundabout. Even a DNA Bathroom Mirror. A 1M EU Rare Diseases database lightning fast too.

A rather neat advertising campaign though by the good folks Miles and Barr estate agents in Ramsgate on Road Safety - Kent Business award winner with Surin Thai restaurant, try the sea bass! - using their Sold signs for a 20mph awareness campaign. Presumably something on TB and Measles and Flu vaccinations next? Vaccines of no use without 95% coverage and London the TB capital of Europe.

Though the police should be more concerned about white lines of drugs and yellow lines of parking as a redline in Kent.
