Muslims Serve Up the Best Crack in London
Britain's cocaine intake has skyrocketed since Oasis made every asshole in old Blighty want a bit of the blow. That's why the quality's gone down. Dealers now sell it to marketing girls at cell-phone companies or 15-year-old middle-class car thieves up to 30 t...READ MORE |
