From Memorandum submitted by the Scottish Drug Enforcement Agency (CS 1) submitted to the UK Parliament in May 2003!

The great majority of Class A drugs enter Scotland across the English border, either as a result of secondary distribution in England or drugs destined for Scotland but smuggled through English ports. Crime groups make extensive use of the UK infrastructure, particularly the motorway networks.

From Police Scotland yesterday:

From BBC Scotland in July 2020:

Routes like the M74 (a key northbound motorway from England) are practically significant for enforcement. Police Scotland’s Organised Crime and Counter Terrorism Unit frequently conducts stops and seizures there, as in the recent Lockerbie case. Similar operations have occurred in the past.

As they love to tell us we have (maybe) the highest drug deaths in Europe so what would any normal country do about that? Start by stopping the flow with a hard border.

Any other reasons for being normal in this way?

Measles crisis – why Scotland needs border control

‘Stealing food from the mouths of animals north of the border’ – Is an English animal charity still taking millions from Scots while doing no work in Scotland?

Meningitis – another case for border checks

Birmingham measles outbreak brings threat even closer to the border with no control

Is it insensitive to want a hard border when ‘UK’ loses WHO status as being measles-free after rise in deaths and fall in jab uptake?

Police Chiefs confirm Scotland is victim of drug gangs from London, Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool crossing border

Even –

Criminals stealing used cooking oil from Scotland’s chip shops are mobile groups ‘traveling to Scotland’ for opportunistic thefts

I can think of many more, as I feel sure you can too.

Ebola? TB? England games on STV………………………
