This strange incident occurred when a guy awoke to see Boris Johnson assisting law enforcement during a dawn raid at his residence.
The Prime Minister, who will step down from office next week, was present during an early-morning narcotics raid this morning near Lewisham, south London.
He stood with Sir Steve House, acting commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, to see nine specialised officers conduct the intelligence-driven, targeted operation to address drug-related violence in the region.
Officers discovered class B narcotics, drug paraphernalia, and a phone they believe to be a drugs line; the latter is still under investigation.
But when the home was being raided, Mr. Johnson was suddenly confronted by a guy who was recording the intrusion on his phone.
The brief video opens with the guy asking, “Bro, how the f**k did I get raided and Boris Johnson’s here?” while directing the phone’s camera towards himself.
The guy leaves the room and enters the corridor, where Mr. Johnson is surrounded by police officers.
Wagwan Boris, he says, to which a cheery Prime Minister responds, “Good morning, how are you doing?
“Ay naaaaaa how can Boris Johnson raid the bando you can’t make this s**t up,” reads the description of the Snapchat video.
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 report by the Policy Exchange think tank, the public believes that the police are being diverted by “woke” causes.
Look at neighbourhood crime, which is what really affects the quality of life for the majority of people in this country, according to Mr. Johnson. It has decreased by about 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 around 13,700 additional 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.
In order to fulfil Mr. Johnson’s promise to deploy 20,000 more police officers on the streets, the government claims that more than 13,790 more police officers have been employed across England and Wales.
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 need to impose the severe punishments that offenders deserve, as we did with our law, Mr. Johnson added, 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.
