Druggy Dave and Co
An interesting snippet from Damian Thompson’s new tome on addiction – The Fix:
“As with heavy drinking, there was an aspirational aspect to it. Dope smoking was associated with public schoolboys and especially Old Etonians. An acquaintance of mine smoked quite a few spliffs with David Cameron, the future Prime Minister. Whether Cameron tried anything harder at Oxford isn’t clear, but it’s interesting that, in 2012, neither the Prime Minister nor the Chancellor of the Exchequer had denied snorting cocaine. Neither, come to think of it, had the current President of the United States, nor his predecessor. One of these days someone should write a book entitled Tory MPs Who Have Done Drugs. It wouldn’t necessarily be a slim volume. One former MP whom I know for a fact has a nose like a vacuum cleaner recently told his local radio station he’d never touched anything stronger than alcohol.”
Guido reckons he could write a similar ”Politicians I Have Done Drugs With”…
Ed miliband is just a dope
Now the’re in power it’s us that needs the drugs
Frank Zappa never indulged – he was in fact a clean living sort of a nutcase.
Breaking!!
Tories do durgs! Not Labuor, though.
….and I kinda buy into that myth ♥
Wasn’t that Jim Bakker’s wife with her tits out?
I’ll wager that Gordon Brown has never taken drugs.
I rest my case.
I think they use drugs to treat bipolar these days.
Or a weed !
It is up the person what they put into thier own body.

And that includes William Hague !
Smart.
You can say that again. And again and again and again.
“fact” has a good point .
BUT
As booze is a drug I’m sure this new found liberal tolerance to users will evaporate if your taxes were paying for the habit .
Where is subsidised booze sold ?
Palace of Westminster. You need to get yourself elected as an MP if you want to get your snout in the trough.
It “is” up to anyone to put whatever they want in the body – HOWEVER
It is NOT – for Politicians and their at arms length mouthpieces to preach down to the general public about drug taking when collectively they ARE ALL IN DENIAL about their own drug abuse.
AND – There are far too many jumped up journos and hacks who ‘preach’ to the public like the MP’s “the exact opposite” of what they themselves practice and have practices. Hypocrites.
AND – as for the legal fraternity who get their high’s on drugs as well – Treating the public with contempt when your trade body is in contempt… Sort the corruption and fraud within your own ranks – before you preach to the public.
Does the taxpayer also subsidise the charlie in Strangers Bar?
You don’t say that our beloved leaders have subsidised charlie, snow or whatever you call it
Whether Cameron tried anything harder at Oxford is unclear
What like the house masters cock ?
Wasn’y Camers at the Oxford Union when Frankie Howard did his gig there
You titter me not !
Smoke them out.
What Ossie, Camoron et al have done as students isn’t quite the same as drug taking in office.
Of course Smith, Blair and others in Labour’s motley crew didn’t inhale or sniff. All are saints, all a paragons of virtue.
A lot of them went to Oxbridge so they are all in it together and quite few of both front benches went to public school but unlike some they were not sent down the line
did someone say a line?
How come plod never went after Doherty’s drug suppliers – or Bimbo Hunt moses?
They probably ans similarly across the whole celebrity & Luvvie world circuit get their drugs ‘brought in specially by the Daniel Morgan murder network.
Perhaps it is time to map out on a speadsheet who was at Camford in the recent past – who are call Me Dave’s exact contemporaries – ZaNulab, Cons and Limp Dims – not forgetting the wannabees in the MSM.
Anyway, I would rather have a MP who had smoked drugs or done some charlie than sat thier studying Socialisim, Marx etc
Do you know mate, I think I would too
Too true, the latter is likely to warp your mind giving you an unreal sense of the world and a feeling that you know it all.
Common hallucinations include trees with gold leaves, and the last 13 years never having existed.
lol exactly! Drugs wear off.
Socialism only wears off when it comes into the presence of copious amounts of money (public money that is). But then the socialist starts to lie and will reaffirm at every stage that they are still true socialists.
Socialists make excellent landlords.

The problem is that people who are abusing cocaine tend to have a hyper inflated sense of self and entitlement, talk to much and too quickly, be self absorbed and selfish, and when they are coming down from the high, have a lower threshold for tolerance – with 650 of them answering to this description, how the fuck would you tell?
….and with those symptoms, how do you tell the difference between a druggie and a socialist?
What drugs make you see magic money trees ?
Cocaine is the perfect drug for our time, self absorbed and giving the shallow an appearance of great meaning .
I’m on medication
It takes a long time to get over depression gordon.
as we all finding out.
I have only been depressed twice in my life actually. Once for 40 years and once for 21 years
*thumbs the air*
I’m more concerned with BBC types who use Cocaine today with tax payers money they get as wages.
Columbian marching powder is endemic in the mejia and fashion industry
But of course as long as the plebs do not snort take or grow it would not be right for them to do that, that is why the price is so high, come to come to think of it, it is remarkable since the massive hikes in train fares the number of extra passengers that travel that way.
No problem though with the News International druggies – I’d be snorting if I worked for Murdoch.
Ask Neil why Jimbob Murdoch – left Harvard?
Was he ‘kicked out’ for substance abuse and because of who he was – and that at that time – no one dared to make an issue of it?
Join the dots that ARE OUT THERE.
Assange has lost his extradition appeal hearing.
Assange and Wikileaks are so yesterday! Think of all the water that’s been passed since then.
If the b us ted state ever wanted to ‘admit’ it’s having been ‘caught out’ – it has “admitted” it purely and simply – by it’s Frontmen mouthpieces’ having openly & publicly “screamed so loudly about getting Assange”.
They “HAVE” protested too loudly and too publicly.
In other words – When the HAMMER of the busted state comes down so virulently – one can draw a proper and logical conclusion. It’s The States’ men & women who are guilty above all else.
thank the risen christ that that odious little narcissistic gobshite will be winging his way to sweden. lets hope the swedes basng the little fucker up long times. you only have to look at his backers – gareth peirce, pilger, et al – to realise he is abusted flush.

I read that “..neither the Prime Minister nor the Chancellor of the Exchequer had denied snorting cocaine” Nor of course has the Queen, nor has Prince Philip denied he runs an assassination team targeting unsuitable Princesses’. Is that interesting too …?
Pure coincidences dear boy, coincidences
Sure is, thanks for the heads up
Dope smoking associated with public schoolboys and Old Etonians??? What an absolutely ludicrous thing to say.
Have you sent invitations to Pickles, Prezza, and Watson to join your famous cow pie club
“Guido reckons he could write a similar ”Politicians I Have Done Drugs With”…
Don’t talk about it .. do it.
Dude! like..woahh!
If you keep spending money on, like, diversity checkers and sign inspectors and stuff..then the immediate 32% tax that they pay you back…, well that pays the interest on the borrowing that we need to,… like..you know..pay them in the beginning.
That’s full employment man! All borrowed, yet paid for, by the people we employ..
Dude! This stuff is awesome!
oh man ..I got the munchies..give me a vat free pastie..
I have a photo of you face down over a bowl of
coke Ajax Vics….er….cornflakes, Ed.Why this obsession with borrowing man. I can just Quantitavely Ease another £100bn whenever you get a bit short. P.S. Don’t forget the Peerages you promised Dahling and me.
Strictly speaking, QE is coin clipping, not forgery. The money is not illegal, but every tenner produced lowers the purchasing power of the £.
OOh look. another u-turn.
Dope’s for pussies, real men go for Colombian marching powder.
Or as we like to call it ‘dandruff of the gods’
Really, dear? Before my Reg suffered a massive heart attack and died we were in our fifties, if I remember correctly.
Anyway, the latest craze doing the rounds at our bridge-drives was something called “Pink Champagne”, a very crystalline form of amphetamine, so Mrs. Weatherbottom kindly informed me.
So, the cards had been dealt, the bowl would be passed clockwise from the dealer and the rolled-up joker would be offered.
Well, I’m not one to get sniffy about these things dear, but by the time the rubber was over and we had totted up the scores, we had knocked through to the neighbour’s living room, built a pond in the garden, boarded the loft space and swept the chimney.
Happy days.
I would suspect 99% of our beloved tv media, journalist, doctors, nurses, etc, have, so why pick out just a couple of people?

The fact that politicians may have engaged in the use of cocaine in their pre-public life is a matter of complete indifference to me. I’m more worried that they may be developing their policies and legislation whilst engaging in immoderate use of such substances currently. How many times have they come up with something that has prompted you to say, somewhat rhetorically, “Are these people smoking crack or something?” Perhaps it shouldn’t be a rhetorical question.

Personally I would make it mandatory for MPs to indulge in anything which renders them comatose, as them spending the day staring at the wallpaper would be much less harmful to the rest of us than them legislating us into slavery and making lawyers rich.
Look at the non-careers of the current crop of The Mentally Perverted …
Has any one of them actually done a ‘real hard days work’ repeat a REAL hard days work? The evidence greatly suggest not. They’re a succession of ‘lazy, bone-idle, grasping, greedy, thieving, invertebrate frontmen’ put upon us because they – are ulitmately controllable and con(troll)ed.
I’m more concerned about what they’re on now.
Well according to the independent scientific Advisory Council for the Misuse of Drugs, alcohol is one of the strongest most dangerous drugs, so the hoover-nosed ex MP could well have been being truthful…
i know someone that went to oxfird with dave. from what i gather it was less skunk and more coke and heroine. make of that what you will
Well its just as well our beloved politicians have their privacy protected by the laws which …. eherm … they created … < twiddle thumbs >
Are you listening Leevy ?
David Miliband once had TWO Lemsips on the same day.
He put them into his ears !
And old Handycock once had two Gymslips in one day
One liebour party faithfull to another “lets do some skunk” the next minute they were crawling all over 2 planks harman
What that Liberal chappie, Lemsip Opik?
err why limit it to tories
In the 1970s when he was President of the NUS Charles Clarke was known to one and all as ‘double dopehead’ as he qualified on both counts.
they simply had to be on drugs what with all the mad ideas one day and a u turn the next.
Does this trivia really matter Guido

Who hasn’t done dope? I am surely there are plenty of ex druggies in Labour.
That would sell.
There are also prescribed drugs that are addictive. I am a legal junkie for degenerative spinal pain. I reckon there are quite a number of legal junkies.
Edinburgh is full of junkies.
