Not really been been updating this blog but thought I would just quickly for posterity record my thanks to Bob Ainsworth for having the courage and conviction to stand up and say "the emperor is stark bollock naked!!" when it comes to the "war" on drugs.
Today Interview
His views got the predictable parrot reaction from his leader. However others do support him. People like Tom Lloyd. Especially interesting, his being an ex Chief Constable. This interview with Peter Hitchens is fascinating and its very much a shame that it got cut off.
Tom Lloyd
For the record in the latter interview I have some sympathy with Peter Hitchens's views. The current policy is feeble. If the end objective was really to end drugs use then there is no choice but to pursue and prosecute drugs users.
Truth is, as both Bob Ainsworth and Peter Hitchens agree, there is no real end objective of the current "war". I don't hold out much hope that anything will change soon, but hopefully more people like Bob Ainsworth will speak out.
