barrier-block-03.jpgbarrier-block-04.jpgPolice Raids, June 2008The block was back in the news on 18th June, 2008 after a major police operation saw nine teenagers arrested for suspected crack cocaine and heroin offences in an early morning raid.The external link BBC reported that a "A criminal network had been operating on the estate for six months, taking over the homes of vulnerable residents and turning them into crack houses," adding that "some 150 people came from across south London to buy drugs there."According to the report, a network had been operating from the concierge area, selling drugs from midnight through to the early hours of the morning, with the gang associated with street robberies and violence, including knife crime.So Yes.

of course the mentallity and consequences are similar. the game is the game everywhere.this also includes the useless polititicans who just talk and want to juke stats not solve the real problems.also shows how crap so called 'urban' dramas made in the uk have been. they needed the wire to make a realistic comparison.

So if parts of Britain are like the Wire he knows shitty policing and bullshitting government officials contribute massively towards all of it.
Bingo.And to a certain extent my area is, but most inner city areas in London are but just not to the degree of what is depicted in The Wire.
