UK Cannabis Hothouses

'Thermogram' of a Cannabis Hothouse (2008)Contemporary art? Well, in a way. This image has been digitally altered to simulate a thermogram of a house which is being used for cannabis production. Thermal imaging cameras, used by police on the ground or from helicopters, are the means of detecting cannabis hothouses. BBC News Magazine has published a rather cosy piece on this criminal activity. What it fails to mention is that since last year Britain has been self-sufficient in cannabis production, thanks to Vietnamese gangs which also smuggle people into the UK and use them as slave labour. They evade massive heating bills by hot wiring straight into the electricity mains. Most of them are based in Ghetto London. Crime in the old metrop. costs us approximately £400 each per year!
