You wan’ skunk?


On my way home I tend to pass through Camden on the Regent’s Canal. On the towpath of the Regent’s Canal, to be exact.

For years, this has been a place that is positively heaving with drug dealers and it has been rare to see a police officer in the vicinity. 

In recent weeks, I think this has changed. Not sure if that is to do with the new Mayor of London or not. Tonight there were four PCOs and four fully fledge Met officers down there. Admittedly, they were grilling a pair of hagard-looking, ageing Camden druggies and there wasn’t a dealer in sight, but it seem as if at least a point was being made.

Won’t be so good, of course, when the dealers decamp to outside Defiant Towers.
