HEAVY POLICING CATCHES LOTS OF DRUG USERS

In one of the least surprising and cynical pieces of policing outside of Ian Blair's patch, taking a tough line on drugs at the Maften Hall Hi-Fi mini festival resulted in a large number of drug arrests.

Brilliant work, policeblokes - the shooting fish in a barrel approach really helps out with those crime clean-up rates at the end of the year, don't they? Of course, heavy-handed policing of drug users does tend to chase the serious dealers further underground where it's harder to keep a safe eye on things.

Which might explain how despite (or rather, because of) this self-declared "robust" policing of drug use while Ian Brown and the others played, a fourteen year old boy wound up in hospital after taking drugs.
