    Despite the illegality, these people manage to sneak into the country with tonnes of coke, then distribute it to tens of sub-distributers, who in turn distribute it to hundreds of large dealers, who in turn pass that on to thousands of local dealers, in time to supply tens of thousands of parties, to supply the coke requirements of every doctor, solicitor, TV executive and regular weekend coke fan in the country, every Friday evening.

    These people need hunting down and capturing.

    Then we need to make them run our railways.

      Then we need to make them run our railways and postal service.

      It’s possible that they already do it in their spare time.

        The problem is it’s their customers are the ones running the railways and Postal services.

    How on Earth am I going to spot a mini submarine? What they think I’m doing all day, staring wistfully out to sea?

    Nah I’m busy downloading this fucking VPN that I shouldn’t need. I’ve got time to look for their drug subs.

    Why would the public waste their time on something like that?

    These pedo regimes are out of touch

    Years ago me and a couple of mates built mini shallow-level submarines. Initially they were remote controlled, then programmable (since radio waves don’t like water) and eventually we got to the point where they could travel a few miles at a time underwater, surface enough to expose their GPS antennae to confirm a fix and link to Meshtastic for updated instructions, and then carry on their way. My point is these smugglers need to get their shit together. “Mother ships”? Give me a break. Amateurs.
