Rapper who was confronted by Boris Johnson during a police raid after waking up following a night of drinking at Notting Hill Carnival said he “thought he was dreaming.”
The Prime Minister, who is leaving office the next week, was there early on Wednesday morning with police during a cocaine search near West Norwood in south London.
But when the home was being raided, Mr. Johnson was suddenly confronted by a guy who was recording the intrusion on his phone.
The suspect has since been identified as aspiring rapper Zee Remayne, also known by his stage name Splinter Sales, who has admitted that shouts from “screaming” police woke him up at 6 am.
He admitted to being astonished to The Independent.
After a night of drinking, I awoke to see Boris Johnson staring me in the face. I believed that I was dreaming.
“I enjoyed myself at the [Notting Hill] carnival, something I never anticipated, boom!” I was just so perplexed.
In addition, he described his unexpected encounter with Mr. Johnson as a “pretty close interaction,” but he also said, “I believe he was glad to see me.”
And Mr. Remayne said that he was appreciative of the unique prominence that the viral video has brought him as he prepares to release some new songs.
Then, as Mr. Remayne exits the room, he utters the Jamaican slang phrase “Wagwan Boris,” which means “what’s happening,” to which the grinning PM responds, “Good morning, how are you doing?”
The video is also captioned: ‘Ay naaaaaa how can Boris Johnson raid the bando you can’t make this s**t up.’
If I were to tell you how wonderful God is right now, the guy continues.
“Bruv, Boris Johnson was in my face.” Do you realise how wasted I was the other night? I feel like a lunatic.
He closes the video with the caption: ‘I’m booked a flight f**k this.’
At the site, a guy who wasn’t Mr. Remayne was apprehended but subsequently released with no further action needed.
The Premier saw nine specialised police conduct the intelligence-led targeted operation intended to address drug-related violence in the region with Acting Met Police Commissioner Sir Steve House.
Good morning, how are you doing? a beaming Boris Johnson greeted the guy before turning to face the camera.
Drug selling does enormous devastation to our communities, according to Detective Superintendent Victoria Sullivan, the Met’s head for South East-based Proactive Teams.
As combating violence is the Met’s top goal, disrupting the lines of supply is essential to our efforts. Strong connections exist between the two.
“This is just one of many enforcement activities that are conducted every day as part of our emphasis on going after the line holders while also assisting in the protection of the weak individuals they prey upon.”
We are coming for you, it is our clear warning to the drug dealers.
Meanwhile, Mr. Johnson argued that his administration had taken criminals very seriously.
His comments followed a report in the Daily Telegraph that Home Secretary Priti Patel had instructed police to concentrate on the fundamentals of policing.
According to a research by the Policy Exchange think group, the public believes that the police are being diverted by “woke” causes.
Look at neighbourhood crime, which is what truly impacts the quality of life for the majority of people in this nation, according to Mr. Johnson. It has decreased by around 38% since this Government took office.
I believe that the police, not only the Metropolitan Police but police around the nation, have made a tremendous effort.
You can see that there are roughly 13,700 more police on the streets. That makes a difference and helps.
The Prime Minister used the newly approved Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act as an example of how his administration has given law enforcement more authority to combat crime.
The Government says more than 13,790 extra police officers have been hired across England and Wales as part of Mr Johnson’s pledge to put 20,000 additional officers on the streets.
After Conservative-led administrations took control in England and Wales in May 2010, the number of police officers decreased by more than 20,000 between 2009 and 2018.
Giving the police the authority they require to impose the severe punishments that criminals deserve, as we did with our legislation, Mr. Johnson said, also makes a difference.
“I’m happy to see it working, but I’m also happy to see the activism and vigour of the London police.”
Yes, of course, our society needs to become safer, but have a look at what they’ve accomplished: a 38% decrease in neighbourhood crime, in my opinion.
