<p>Thanks. 2 PCSOs spoke to the concerned parents of my daughter's primary school today where the dealers brazenly deal nearby, often approaching anyone regardless of age. I really appreciate the efforts to talk to us and walking with some of the mums to see the state of the local public child's playground which is littered with drug remnants, used condoms and where one parent found a large knife.

<p>Thanks. 2 PCSOs spoke to the concerned parents of my daughter's primary school today where the dealers brazenly deal nearby, often approaching anyone regardless of age. I really appreciate the efforts to talk to us and walking with some of the mums to see the state of the local public child's playground which is littered with drug remnants, used condoms and where one parent found a large knife. I hope additional funding is provided to assist in tackling this issue. I am fortunate to be in a position where I can pick up my children everyday. However I would be very concerned if I had a 10/11yr old who walked home from school alone.</p> Hi Matt

<p>Hi Matt</p>
<p>To cause that much damage to a parked car on the other side of the road, they must have been doing at least 40 when the stolen car turned into Langham Rd and lost control. It would have been carnage if anyone was driving either way when it came round the corner, let alone someone crossing. As you say, utterly reckless driving.</p>

<p>Might be drug dealer related. Getting away from skirmishes with other dealers or from the police? Seeing cars doing this lately on the ladder roads too, over road humps at 40-50 mph. Very dangerous for the rest of us using paths, Harringay passage or indeed simply parked by the roadside <img src="http://bkserv3.net/smiley/109.gif"/></p>

<p>I agree that we should look to legalise cannabis but until that time the police have to enforce the law. Not enforcing it leads to the large gangs and a shooting outside Turnpike Lane a year or so ago.</p>

<p>I ask because the phrase " middle classes " is often bandied about on here as pejorative and a term of contempt. But nobody seems to be able to explain or define it. I would say that anybody who employs a cleaner, a gardener or a child-minder is betraying signs of middleclassitude.</p>

<p>The Portuguese approach is certainly no miracle but it's both changed the climate around drug use and reduced drug usage.

<p>The Portuguese approach is certainly no miracle but it's both changed the climate around drug use and reduced drug usage. According to <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/long_reads/portugal-drug-laws-problems-abuse-decriminalised-results-success-study-cocaine-marijuana-heroin-a7996896.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an article in the Indy</a>, t<span>he evidence is that drug use stabilised or declined since Portugal changed its approach, particularly heroin. The article goes on to say that in polls, the proportion of 15 to 24-year-olds who say that they have used illicit drugs in the last month dropped by almost half since decriminalisation. If you reduce drug use you reduce the dealer problem. Also if you reduce police time spent on users, you increase the time available to focus on dealers.</span></p>
<p>I'm not suggesting that the approach is a panacea or suggesting that it would necessarily translate directly to the UK, let alone Harringay.

<p>Although I've not used currently illegal drugs for years, I recognize that people do. The trouble is that (as I said on the murder thread) there is no scientific evidence base for criminalizing the use of some less "dangerous" drugs. Some of which even have clinically recognized uses.

<p>But the dealers cannot use the illegality of the substance they sell as leverage over their customers upon who they would be seen as pushers by some. Once a dealer has your number you can expect a concerned text message when they surmise that you are at your weakest when they haven't heard from you in a while.</p>
