Wanna run my line?

You regularly hear the mention of 'County Lines' on R4 news with reference to drugs as though everybody knows what it means.

In the drugs trade, there is a hierarchy where the runners are the most junior 'staff'. Their job is to move the drugs from one place to another and to sell directly to the punter.

This is to protect the main dealer/s from the police in the event the runner gets caught.

The reference to a 'line' is where the main dealer will allocate a territory to one of his runners. It also stems from the telephone number given to that runner i.e. hotline for punters to call.

It's rather concerning that I'd get that sort of offer. Then again only a real dickhead would make it to a complete stranger.

I think I will go back to the retirement thread. The nearest we get to sex and drugs is discussing @welsh dragon's bloomers.

The scrapings from my Y fronts are sold locally as hashish.

Gay Muslims? And to think they're picketing my local primary school.

Actually no. You said they were Asian, which suggests you're probably not. It's well known by the police and the authorities that in a lot of inner cities, Asians are over represented in the drugs trade.

It's makes perfect sense to employ someone who doesn't fit that demographic to do the street work. Less likely to arouse the eye of the police.

Hence why they employ children to run the drugs on each line.

No one has survived long enough to sue.

I said they were Asian because "wanna run my line" might be a British-Asian phrase. I could have been an off-duty police officer or a member of a rival gang for all they knew.

Oh, and my ancestry stretches across Europe through Asia to the Pacific.
