Big companies should carry out random drug tests on their staff,*Shaun Bailey*has said.
The Conservative London mayor candidate said the aim of mandatory drugs tests on staff would not be to get people fired, but to change the culture around drug use.
People who buy drugs are "funding the criminals who...unleash mayhem" on London's streets, he argued.

50% of first or second preference votes to win. What exactly is brave about "encouraging" companies to sign up to a Charter, particularly as you will never get into power to enact it?
Just as you the tax payer are funding a bunch of pi55 poor politicians who haven't got a clue.
Politicians tend not to be so forthcoming with reality so good on him , even if it does cost him some metropolitan 30 something votes, they love a snort in the big CityQuote:

indeed knife and drugs crime are on the up , I'm not sure how or who funds Londons policing or how that is proportioned out by crime ,in a way funding probably doesn't matter if you don't stop drug intake. I'd legalise dope fund police and other drug from tax take , ,I guess though a lot more arrests will be seen that may upset some .Quote:
