Ken Clarke told the Home Affairs Select Committee yesterday:
“We have been engaged in a war against drugs for 30 years. We’re plainly losing it. We have not achieved very much progress. The same problems come round and round.”

Ed Balls stretches credulity by claiming he isn’t ambitious…
“I would love to be part of Ed’s Labour government but what I do next for me is not an all-consuming passion. I’m more bothered, in a personal sense, about getting to grade 8 piano by the time I’m 50.”

perhaps May and Green with their Border Force and Police just aren’t up to the job.
It was reported in the press that Border officers usually checking for guns and drugs had been taken off that job to go stamp the passports to reduce the tail back of passengers at airports.
The Police are at odds with May. At their convention they told her she wasn’t to be trusted!
Morale at the Home Office is reported on the floor after Brody Clark got moved out. Seems no one trusts May and Green not even the public!
“At their convention they told her she wasn’t to be trusted!”
If the politically correct muppets in the police ‘service’ don’t like what she’s doing, she must actually be doing something right.
Time to cut costs of policing. Time to raise government revenues. Time to abandon failed and discredited policies. Time to finally move forward. Time to attempt to understand the issue and the drivers behind why successive government policies have failed so utterly here.
Time to legalise drugs and put them on the same footing as fags and booze.
We are all born free. it’s not for governments to mandate us, attempt to control us and limit our potential. They work for us, not us for them.
Pretty pointless. They should decriminalise it so it can be subject to the usual commercial pressures. People buying their fix at Boots on a Friday are less likely to be buying coke cut with rat poison, talcum powder or whatever other crap is to hand. There is also some chance they might know the dose strength of what they are taking.
And no I have never taken drugs, have no intention of doing so and think it is pretty weak to take them. However, I see drug taking around me all the time; I have more of a downer on smoking which is a real pain.
Marijuana should be handled like alcohol. Heroin could be by prescription. Cocaine is a tough one–it is very dangerous to your health. It can also cause people to become violent, and can induce psychotic episodes.
How much nose candy was mcruin on each day then?
But is it dangerous because its produced illegally, or just dangerous full stop? If you had quality control could you produce a cocaine that didn’t have the same dangers
If the poor farmers who grew drugs were to become rich on the back of legalization would they still continue to grow my weed?
“We’re plainly losing it.”
Ken Clarke lost it a long time ago.
