With technology this day in age, where you can monitor people from satellites in outer space, why can't we stop getting drugs into this country. Is someone always paid off along the way ?

Smacks of corruption amongst top ministerial post, back-handers, turning a blind eye to imported illegal substances, crime syndicate bosses are the puppeteers controlling the puppets (the politicians)
We all know the law's an ***, regarding drug laws in the UK. Even the Police themselves admit that they're losing the war on drugs. Drug use and related crime escalates year after year, I take your point that nothing appears to be being done about this social pariah. The only thing we can do is educate our children about the dangers of drug taking/abuse and hopefully they wont succumb to the evils of drugs.

Its all down to money.
If you can earn £40 per day working in a warehouse or £200 per day for supplying a few rocks then what would you choose?
Sadly more and more people are choosing the easy work fast cash option which is drug dealing.
I myself took the £40 per day work hard option but although i dont accosiate with drugs or their dealers i have personaly known five people who have been murdered over drugs in LEEDS.
Its a live fast die young option...........
As for the amount of drugs getting into the country well some people are willing to take the risk and a very small percentage actually get caught.And if they stopped Drugs getting into the UK then theres plenty of drugs that can be made or grown over here
so you can never completely remove the problem.

If you interfere with free markets, you will always have a black market. We could stop drugs easily by executing drug sellers and forcing everybody to have random urinalyses. Then execute the user. Politically, this will never happen. When Geraldine Ferraro's son was dealing drugs, he got a sweetheart deal. It always happens that way to the children of the rich. If you're poor or black, or brown, it's the slammer. Too many people benefit from the drug trade, the dealers, the cops, the prisons, the rehab industry. It'll never stop. Too many vested interests.

There are to many high profile people making money from the drug trade. If this country really wanted to end the drug problem, they would legalize it like England did. Then there is no black market, and users could be readily monitored!

Because people feel the need to escape from reality and live in what they feel is a better place. Because our lives are so tightly controlled, we have to tightly control ourselves in order to "fit in" and sometimes we need to lose control (hence high abuse of alcohol in the UK - especially on weekends). Because drugs are some people's idea of fun. Because those who are in a position to eradicate streets full of drugs profit financially from them being available. And because money will always take priority over people in a capitalist society. Many needs and interests are served by the streets being full of drugs, those are but a few.

Because this country`s laws are too old!
The law has to be changed, so that dealers get a minimum of twenty-five years imprisonment with no appeal allowed.
A second-time offender to be handed fifty-years imprisonment with no appeal allowed
All their property seized and auctioned off.

the streets are full of drugs because the CIA is very good at what they do best, which is being the largest drug smuggling outfit ever - by far. they use drug profits to fund their other illegal and abhorrent projects around this globe.

The UK Customs and Excise service is useless and smuggling is absolutely out of control. They say that they have abandoned routing checks at ports and airports and target all investigations on intelligence. Well, it doesn't seem to be working does it?

The streets are full of drugs because people buy them.
If people said NO! "I dont want them ",there would be no market for them.
Plain and simple!!
We are the products of our own choices.

My street isn't. I've had a good look and haven't seen any drugs at all.
