SADIQ Khan has outrageously suggested that the law in London should be updated to match ongoing realities on the ground.
The mayor, who has already damaged the capital by being elected three times while those living elsewhere did not want him to be, now plans to bring the city to its knees by acknowledging what is actually happening within it.
He said: “Half of London is openly smoking weed on our streets. The other half’s smoking it indoors.
“You cannot walk from a Pret to another Pret – and that’s a very short walk – without catching a cloud of Hawaiian widow. Dealers’ QR codes dot every lamppost. The white and middle-class have only to be a little anxious and they get skunk prescribed.
“Therefore I am proposing that rather than pretend this isn’t happening in the face of copious evidence we admit it is, that London is baked, and cannabis is as legal here as public urination.
“Yes, this will give the Met one less weapon to use against black people. Honestly I’m viewing that as a positive.”
A government source said: “Oh for God’s sake, who commissioned an independent drugs report led by a barrister and former justice secretary? Those things always come out wrong, they’re useless.”
