Cocaine cabbies exposed by SCMP

As you probably forgot to read yesterday’s Sunday Morning Post while dressed as a pirate on the South Stand, let us tell you about an interesting article on the cover page titled Drug dealers use dial-a-line taxi network. That’s right reader, Hong Kong island’s best kept “secret” was just revealed by SCMP, as the journalists behind the article found it necessary to tell the world how we text/phone our coke dealers, have an “out of service” taxi sent our way, get in the cab, buy a gram for HK$ 1,000 and get dropped off around the corner again.

The police are quoted saying they know all about it already, but what’s interesting is that it appears that a few unhappy “customers” came forward, not so much because they feel it’s their duty as concerned citizens of Hongkers, but more because the quality of our coke is so fucking awful:

I only take cocaine once in a while and their product is terrible anyway, so I don’t have any problem going public with it.”

The man certainly has a point, so we *cough* hear. It gets better though: Sunday Morning Post proudly tells us they managed to obtain a number of a coke dealer, yet as they failed to provide a reference name from which they got the dealer’s number from, the “deal” fell through. A big cheer for our skillful crime journalists, John Carney and Fox Yi Hu. We’ll be seeing you around…

  • This is an ongoing thing with the Post. They love their cocaine stories. Let's be honest, they particularly like doing the research.

    Half arsed horse-sh**. I'm surprised Barclay Crawford didn't write it. Why not just admit it openly 'We do charlie, we tried this source - it's crap but now we want to screw this option of getting gear up for all you tooters out there.'

    surprised it wasn't one of Barclay Crawford's coke, Colombian hookers and sleaze exposes.

    if there's one man to uncover a drugs scandal it's our Barclay, which would make the more cynical amongst us think...hmmm...he always knows about dodgy drugs stories, dissatisfied user maybe???
