The post you are reporting:
I think a lot of drugs come through transport, such as on trucks, I haven't gone as far as suggesting that immigration is responsible for the drug problem.
But as mentioned, the figures provided on drug consumption are totally shocking, and it really should be the concerned authorities to bring up the case, perhaps in a concerted move and effort.
Again, how many children of today will be on drugs tomorrow?
Border control to detect drugs is, in my view, a technical matter, as vehicles and passengers would need to undergo some kind of check, and currently, foot passengers are easier to check than vehicles, as a sniffer dog guided by a border agent can quite easily walk past passengers at the border, as they do, for example in Calais in the port, but to control cars and lorries with a preliminary check would require holding up the flow of traffic for a while.
But because border controls have been scaled down recently, owing to costs, it's a topic that one person alone cannot bring up and expect to solve single-handed.
I e-mailed MP Charlie Elphicke last year suggesting that a £1 per vehicle levy be introduced at Dover to contribute to the costs of increased border controls, and he responded saying that, unfortunately, it doesn't work like that.
Why should I do all this single-handed, Marek? If there are more people concerned about children's welfare, and the impact drug consumption has on young people, also as a potential danger, and on criminality, for example people trying to get money to buy drugs, and becoming burgalars, and so on, then surely I shouldn't be the only one to ask for more border-control spending.
