If you're a hard-working, law-abiding taxpayer, Labour are making your life worse - if you're a dope smoker, they want to make your life easier, says Patrick Christys (0.010410191553940705)

Let's deal with the racism bit first, shall we? Facts aren't racist.</p><h3></h3><br/><p>In 2020, the then-head of the Met Police said black people in the UK were eight times more likely to commit violent crime. </p><p>The figures from London in 2022 show black people were charged with 64 per cent of gun offences, 59 per cent of homicides, 53 per cent of robberies and 47 per cent of knife offences.</p><h3></h3><br/><img alt="Patrick Christys" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="26251be1e9a681cd903ffe5fa12c2ec2" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" id="faebd" loading="lazy" src="https://www.gbnews.com/media-library/patrick-christys.png?id=60336050&width=980"/><h3></h3><br/><div class="embed-latest"></div><p>Maybe there's a reason why black people in London are 2.2 times as likely to be arrested than white people and that reason, isn't racism.</p><p>Remember the case of the Rolex rippers - a violent gang nicking watches from people? I don't think it would be racist to stop and search them. </p><p>But I tell you what, I reckon there's a fair chance those lads have enjoyed the odd cannabis joint in their time, don't you?</p><p>I have a lot of viewers and listeners who are black or of another ethnic minority background.</p><p> I want you to know I am not saying that I think you're all dope smoking criminals.</p><p> What I am saying, is that I think Sadiq Khan saying we should decriminalise cannabis to stop racist police is complete and utter rubbish.</p><p>I'll tell you why I think he's doing it. Firstly, he wants young people who smoke cannabis to vote Labour. It's votes for the mandem. Secondly, he wants cannabis possession off his crime stats. </p><h3></h3><br/><div class="embed-dontmiss"></div><p>Thirdly, police are already not doing much about it. Pretty much everywhere in the UK smells like Bob Marley's recording studio. I tell you what Britain needs, more lunatics. We need more drug addicts on public transport.</p><p>We can't stop knife crime, gun crime, rape - you know there's one rape reported every hour in London? Let's legalise cannabis!</p><p>If you're a hard-working, law-abiding taxpayer, Labour are making your life worse. If you're a dope smoker, they want to make your life easier. Which will also make life easier for knife carriers. Welcome to modern Britain!</p><p>The police are too busy kicking down people's doors for mean tweets to bother about rampant drug use, anyway.<span></span></p><h3></h3><br/><div class="embed-mostread"></div><p>Do people like Sadiq Khan really want to turn Britain into a stinking, lazy, paranoid-schizophrenic, cannabis infused hellhole policed by officers wearing pink feather boers with pronoun badges?</p>
