Around 150 marijuana plants
were discovered growing with
native plants on disused land in
Kingston-upon-Thames.
PC Sarah Henderson said of the
discovery: "The area these plants
were rowing on was the size of a
football pitch, it looked like a small
forest of Christmas trees and was
complete with a gazebo. Whoever
set this up used a really remote
spot. The only way to get there
was a 20-minute walk through
wasteland. But all their time,
trouble and gardening skills will go
unrewarded, as the whole lot will
now be destroyed by police."
Officers were quick to share
snaps of the stash on social
media with the hashtags
#TheseArentXmasTrees,
#WeedKiller and #SayNoToDrugs.
It's a KIngston tIng:

The materials used for Banksy's 'bemusement park' are being sent to Calais
good eggs: BanKsy & dIsmaland
The theme park, based in Weston-
super-Mare, attracted around
150,000 visitors during its five-
week run. Now that the installation
has closed, Banksy has decided to
send all the materials used to create
the park to the Jungle refugee
camp in Calais, where there are an
estimated 5,000 people camping.
He announced the news by posting
a picture of the migrant camp
superimposed onto his Cinderella
Castle, with the following message:
"Coming soon…Dismaland Calais.
All the timber and fixtures from
Dismaland are being sent to the
Jungle refugee camp near Calais
to build shelters. No online tickets
will be available." The refugee
crisis was a key topic addressed
in the installation, with Pussy Riot
performing the song 'Refugee' on
Dismaland's closing night.
