    Police intelligence comes from taking out the little fishes....from someone who claims to be from a family of police inspectors!!!! you don't seem to be very informed on their game play....
    got to ask for clarification......did they really use a 'chainsaw' because i have never ever ever heard of police using a 'chainsaw' unless they are trimming their hedge in the garden...and strangly enough neither has my next door but one neighbour who really is a police inspector...just asked him as he is out gardening but not using a 'chainsaw'...when asked the question his answer was....'Er no' and laughed.
    You also state kids where brought up different when you were younger....well this is your child, so your responsibility to makesure he is brought up correctly. I have 3 all in the early 20's and not one ever been in trouble..good jobs, cars etc...it's parents who shape their children not society.

    When most people want to make some money they'll look for a job or improve their prospects through education. Did your son not consider these options?

    He would be an extraordinarily unlucky drug dealer if the ONLY five occasions he had dealt he sold to undercover police officers.

    Just pay for your own bloody door woman.

    What type of drugs was he dealing? He could get up to life for dealing class A and up to 14 years for dealing class B & C.

    Your attitude is wrong. Instead of complaining about the Police going after the wrong type of drug dealer you should be thoroughly ashamed and embarrassed that you have a drug dealing son and you should be angry at him not the Police. The Police never put the drugs in his possession. I am proud the Police have removed a drug dealer from the streets.
    These are my own views and you should seek advice from your local Benefits Department or CAB.

    People keep in mind that he was 17 immature and easily influenced by his friends,.I hope to god none of you have to go through something like this (if you have kids) and never ever say my child would never do something like this,. And yes I was here to tell him about a job and I did made him to apply for some jobs and he had 2 interviews to go to before he got arrested,,And yes they had to use a chain saw and to be honest I was impressed with this door It always looked cheap door to me and as Im on the ground floor I was always scared but it proved me wrong, even the glass didn't brake,,. And about the payment for the door It has nothing to do with the TAX PAYERS MONEY, because is not just you ENGLISH people who work in this country, his dad works 6 days a week, Im just angry like I said most of belgrave police station they knew me I have no private life everything revolves around my kids I was always out around them just to try and make sure he don't do something wrong,But it was not enough,.

    If the Council want you to pay one-third of the cost of replacement, then the other two-thirds of the cost must be coming from the people who pay council tax.
    I'd be bloody furious if one penny of the money I pay in council tax went to replace the door of a property that a drug dealer lived in.

    Council now wants 500,1/3 of it from me to replace the door,and I don't think is right,

    and this is the reason that I feel it is not fair to make me pay for the door, they should bill the police

    And where do you think the money comes from to fund police forces?
    From the TAXPAYER of course.

    Pay for the door that your son was ultimately responsible for.
