  1. Thanet drug dealers selling to adolescents are just as bad as peodophile‘s IMO. Doesn’t matter if it’s weed or crack, the dealers are scum and prey on the young like sick kiddy fiddlers.

  2. Lets hope the police get more resources to deal with this insidious crime. I have reported several times the blatant drug dealing in Ellington Park online and have stated I have photos but have never had a response – I have been informed it is due to a lack of resources. Sadly until we get rid of these parasites our youngsters will remain vulnerable.
