I’m not surprised crack is being smoked on the Victoria Line

Very little surprises me about Sadiq Khan’s London anymore. It’s now a city in which low-level lawlessness is implicitly tolerated via the complete absence of enforcement. Where the fetid smell of cannabis pervades the streets, where phone-snatching is endemic and where shop-lifting goes unpunished. And now, people are smoking crack cocaine on the Victoria Line.

Yes, really. In a video posted on Reddit, a tube passenger appears to be smoking the Class A drug in front of commuters. The Reddit poster said, ‘every few moments he’d spit yellow liquid onto the floor below him whilst constantly clicking away at his lighter trying to get his crack to smoke, which was largely burnt up mass but still pungent enough to recognise it was crack.’ When station staff were alerted, they allegedly said he is a known addict in the area and there are complaints about him every other day, but there is nothing they can do.
