The phrase 'pissing into the wind' comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadGeordie Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 “Inspections carried out in the year 2017 found no offences,” V/Gov Prakob noted, speaking on official action on venues believed to be supporting prostitution." Oh please, just stop it, you are making yourself look (even more) foolish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valentine Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I thought tackling drug use was a normal job for the police not something that needs to be rolled out with a grand announcement. Best way to tackle drug use is to go after the king pins but I have yet to see one caught, tried, convicted & actually gone to jail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
