I met Peter about 6 years ago at one of his book events. He expressed the exact same views as this video then, regarding legalisation and regulation of drugs. I met him after and had a quick chat, told him I was applying for the police. He was so supportive and give me a great insight into what the job is. I’ve been an officer ~4 years now and I still think about the things he said when I met him. Even with a short length of service I can already see the failings of ‘the war on drugs’. As a patrol cop I’ve dealt with some pretty crazy situations. All in all it’s a great job, as long as you enjoy your part. Remember you’re a small cog in a big machine and do what you think is right everyday with conviction. Great video!

If you look at the news today you will see Switzerland are looking to be the first country to make coke legal and to see over the counter. They say nothing else has changed over the years so they are going to see if this has an effect.

Such a articulate man. Could listen to him for hours !

As someone who lived in "Saaf Lundun" for many years, I can attest that Peter is a top bloke.

“If you can’t lie, don’t apply” I need that on a t shirt

To become a squirrel, one must first see a squirrel.

Crazy how different times are regarding job application processes. Out-of-the-blue, fills in a cadet application form, with presumably zero relevant experience/training/qualifications, and a few weeks later, has started a career that sets you up for life! How times have changed! The hoops you have to jump through these days, and the background checks, just to get your foot-in-the-door..... truly is a different world. (I just want to emphasise, I am not belittling this man's achievement - he's clearly extremely dedicated, talented, professional and driven, hence why he got to where he has - I'm just pointing out how different the process of *starting* a career was then, compared to now).

I've listened to quite a bit of Mr Bleksley's interviews, and every one has left me feeling that the World is a better place because of him, and others like him.

This man is the embodiment of hardline detective/undercover investigator.

We need this speech on the necessity of legalisation and regulation of currently illegal drugs as a good, short, and sharable soundbite for people to share on social media !

This man knows his stuff, totally comment at 21:13 onwards are in my opinion completely accurate, and there needs to be a complete shift in thought around drugs in this country (UK)

Incredible interview. I always love the interviews on this channel. Keep up the great work!!

Incredible. I love this series. Keep up the good work.

im glad i watched till the end and mosdef agree with him. thank you for this upload!

Excellent. Thank you. 👍

Riveting interview. The mind boggles as you what goes on. Thanks for this.

Phenomenal!!! I couldn't agree more!!!

Absolute respect for this person.

I’ve always been such a big fan of Peter Bleksley! Incredible interview ☺️

That was a brilliant video. I was born and bred in Brixton. I would love to meet Peter he is an amazing bloke. Take care and stay safe mate. Tom.

Brilliance, a man who understands "the war on drugs"

Peter is terrific !!! love his comments.... very intelligent man. 10/10

9:10 quite a suspiciously specific example lmao

Man, this channel is always bringing the fire content❤️

Peter Bleksley has had an incredible life. I read his book a couple of years ago and I couldn't put it down! Really interesting I highly recommend it 👍🏻 top bloke.

My admiration and gratitude to you Sir.

I just feel so sorry for him at the end built his whole career on what he loved for him to say it was a waste of time what it entailed

To be mixing with some of the people he was mixing with whilst being a copper… this man has balls like King Kong

Came to my uni a couple of weeks ago, class bloke

Met him once. Top bloke

What a character! Love him!

What an interesting man. And I love that tie ❤️

Isn't it amazing that some mothers can have a sense of what could be a career for their children? A rough lad, but she could still see police in him.

I could listen to him for hours

Bleks! I used to be a regular at the same pub, he was certainly a character.

As a former worker in the substance abuse treatment field who lost his job due to lack of funding, hell yeah, he's 100 percent right. By the time I was laid off, we were the last detox facility in the state. Now we have none in this state. The insurance company has more to say about when they are done with inpatient than before.

His conclusion on the war of drugs is great, i couldn't have said it better!!! When will politicians Catch Up to this mindset?

Legalise and regulate!!!!! As this gentleman said, that is the ONLY option now.

Brilliant.

I know this guy!! I sold him some gear back in the day!

I love how much he had to emphasise the amount of “practice” he had at racking up lines 😂 sat at home with flour my arse

"Ripping the granny out of life". Nice. Love listening to this man.

What a gem! 🤣

Most people will only know him from hunted and not know he actually had a successful career beforehand

This guy was gettting bang on it when he was undercover 🤣

He should record audio books. Amazing voice

Being stoned and eating four boxes of Maltesers, spouting nonsense about understanding modern jazz sounds like a good time 😂😂

Hes good at the slang criminal lingo😮

I swear he's already done one of these with them already ?

Bleksley is why the police had the mantra of filth.He does no wrong of course.Would of framed and nicked a 10 year old sweet thief.The kind of guy that creates crime rather than solves it.Claims to be some kind of robin hood.I read his book,and thought he was a good un. as i was beaten framed and bullied by people like him,i sussed that his handling of informers fits like a glove when it comes dishonourable noble corruption.I was nearly killed in police custody.You will never hear him call out what use to go on.Im a similar age and now have a degree in criminal Psycology,and this gravybeat excuse of a loser is a fraud.Ive seen right through him as ive emotionally raised my intel in the last 5years or so.Hes a major disappointment is on everything and his egos out of control.Typical copper got answers for everything but solutions for nothing. He props himself up with meds,and cant bring any new narrative to any subject.Shame you cant trust even an ex copper.☹️☹️☹️

Well spoken and when he relates how the old school detectives would plant a bag with various things to implicate you and get you jailed do you suspect he was talking about himself ????? Bent old Basted should be in a cell!

It’s sad that we will never see that solution to the war on drugs in our life times probably! Very cool that dude is observant enough to understand that the current, and past, methods and of handling drugs was and is an absolute joke! And their are way too many people that make boar loads of money from this war on drugs so the politicians have zero incentive to change anything.

Guy makes a lot of sense. War on drugs is lost. Take the power out of the hands of the cartels. It's the only way forward.

Great interview, until the sword shop story, was almost believable up until that point “It’s Jackie’s birthday”😂😂

I liked him in dire straits.

It's wild to think about how our police force was going undercover to stop people smoking weed....

Good fellow. My home Canada has legal weed i hope every other drug is oh and regulated

he couldnt milk it anymore hes still going on

A wise expert.

That whole thing about "building" the joint with tobacco is total horseshit; for whatever reason he doesn't want to admit to getting high as part of his job. If you work as a CI or undercover LEO on a drug task force you will absolutely be doing drugs, and often.

Ай бұрын

I was thinking the same thing mate if I was interviewing him I would have asked if that's the case how come all these criminals couldn't smell the weed until u passed the joint lol

21:42 he's exactly right. Legalizing is the only way.

If only govt and other decision makers could take his advice to legalise drugs. Unfortunately cause many govt’s are corrupt and it is not in their interest to legalise the industry, many powerful people would overnight lose empires built on selling drugs if addiction meanwhile average peeps lives are ruined by convictions for smoking a joints etc.

Sounds like the "Police Bricktop" "

Lol me to bro. Me to.

Very interesting life story. Though I do think the modern perception of the so-called "war on drugs" is often maligned due to unrealistic expectations and goals. It is not a 'war' and thus cannot be won. We can't change human nature, but we can see that justice be done for certain harm caused. Legalization arguments fly in the face of reality and human nature- that when you subsidize/legalize something, you get more of it. And it is a fact that drugs, legal or not, do society harm.

@jack6450

5 ай бұрын

That’s precisely where the issue lies, when it comes to a problem of such unquantifiable magnitude as the illegal drugs market, you *can’t* effectively implement justice for the harms it causes. It doesn’t matter how many gangsters you lock up, there is simply so much money to be made in the sale and production of these substances that there will always be someone willing to risk it. It’s the policing equivalent of painting the forth bridge. Likewise you can’t effectively reduce the demand for these substances either, no matter how many public health campaigns you run people will always get curious, that is human nature.

Improper use of the word ultimate.

I don't believe for a second he didn't do the lines

talking about taking drugs while undercover was oddly specific

He’s a businessman

The police cartel can never eliminate their competition 😂

That's scary

He's not wrong the only way you can protect against drugs is to make it regulated so the country benefits rather than criminals benefiting from it
