This has been bothering me for some time.

Please forgive me if this sounds like a rant, i'll keep it brief.


For some years now and still going on today, drugs are openly being sold from 'working mens clubs' only a few blocks down the same street as Peckham Police station on Meeting House Lane. Effectively being run as drug shops.

And the Police are fully aware of this.


Yet, i am told by the Police that they cannot do anything about it........!?

It is this i find extremely hard (impossible) to accept.

What possible legal loopholes exist that prevent the Police from shutting such places down?


It is little wonder the criminals have little respect for them these days when

the Police are unable to prevent this sort of activity going on under their very noses.


Please don't get me wrong, I am not trying to bash the Police, I just don't understand how this is allowed to carry on!


P/

Are you an escaped Viz character?




You are also alleging something which m'learned friends would be very interested in - as it's essentially libel unless you're willing to back this up in court. Defamation cases run expensive, perhaps admin will delete this thread.

Chatham Cafe on Cheltenham Road was closed down because they were selling drugs there.

If you don't know the circumstances about the situation in this particular case, it's difficult to speculate.

Sorry to be a bore but the Police Ward Panel for the Peckham Area may be able to tell you more when you go there.

They meet every 2 months.

If the working man just fancies a spliff should he;


a) goto a street dealer where he may contribute to the decline of an area and lose his wallet in the process of aquiring said medical remedy for aches and pains?


b) GO TO PRISON for not being an alcoholic and enjoying the herb rather than the evil drink?


c) go to his local working mans club where behind closed doors he can discreetly see a freindly face who may have a spare bag and aqquire it causing offence to no one?


d) lobby the goverment to legislate soft drugs to prevent him being criminalised for what is an essentially harmless past time when engaged in sensibly in the comfort of his own home?


e) get a weekend flight to amsterdam?



what I want to know is how does the OP knows this is going on behind closed doors, and if he is a member and doesn't like it should he not just cancel his membership? I don't take drugs but if I did I would know where to go now so thanks for that Pearson what a handy post.

:)-D

The OP is talking about the Turks and associated Johnny Mehmets who peddle hash from their cafe. I've been buying from them for years and they do the best weight in south London.


I'm pretty sure the Police allow this because anyone familiar with the shop in question will know that if the family in charge even so much as suspected someone selling or even being in possesion of anything harder, then the ambitious halfwits fingers would be on the recieving end of a kebab knife.

since when is a cafe a working mans club? And I am sure the cafe owners would love to meet you after giving them unwanted or called for publicity. you could be Rolling Deep in shit soon I would have thought.watch your fingers.

The establishment in question is a hangout where everyone drinks very strong coffee and gibber away in Turkish. There isn't a Union Jack or string vest in sight. It's not a working mens club, although I admit that cafe is a very loose term.


Having a footfall of around 200 people a day who don't drink coffee or any other beverage, and whose soul purpose for being there is to buy hash, which is quite openly smoked, is more publicity than anyone on here can provide. The place is notorious.


Although they've garnered a rep in the past for back room straightners, I seriously doubt there would be any chance of physical retribution against myself for mentioning the antics that go on in there. The times I've been in there they're so baked you could chuck a petrol bomb in there and the first they'd know about it is after the fire brigade had put the flames out.

Exactly...


Any one knows that a real "working" man is....



"Too busy working" to attend a working mans club



I hope that clears the situation up, as it were



Yes....



W**F

I don't care for people using drugs, as long as the drug user or drug dealer is not going to cause me or any member of the public any harm or discomfort. Of course, many do, but I find more bother from pissheads leaving the pub at closing time. Usually, it's the foul lanuage and urinating on street corners that disgust me the most, with a couple of drunken brawls too. Of course, selling drugs, possibly attracts unsavioury characters around the local neighbour and of course being near a copshop, they should take more an interest.


I guess, if they made drugs legal, we could feel more safer or secure? Or maybe I to need back this statement up more withfacts and figures. But, for starters it would take the power away from the underground dealers and suppliers and I guess, the drugs would be pure and not filled with rat posion,etc...

    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).
