Tom Harris – “for goodness sake – it’s the only thing he’s got going for him!”
OK, lets all accept he is a loser. He has absolutely no redeeming features at all (beyond a tie.) He is to politics what a natural yoghurt is to astrophysics.
What happens if he wins ? Where does that leave Labour ?
I must say that the unfortunately named Prof. Nutt was out of line. While he has not said a single thing that wasn’t true on the scientific side, (did you know that more people die each year in falls from ladders than from drug (excluding alcohol)overdose) he has “supped wi’ the diel”.
As to Johnson he should have said, we have listened to our advisor and must say that when we weigh all the evidence of social as well as individual harm then we feel that cannabis should return to class B. He then would have been able to be questioned on what “social harm” this was, or was the decision based on trying to grab a couple of Daily Mail votes on the way past.
Nutt’s policy of standing with a petted lip slagging off the government for not listening is daft and is letting Johnson off the hook, we all just want to know how the decisions were reached that impact each and every one of us.
….and the funniest thing of all is that the classification of cannabis will have sod all effect on those who consume, traffic and deal in the drug.
>> I don’t consider myself to be a “cyber-nat” (which appears to have become a term of abuse against independence supporting bloggers who dare to question Labour in even the most moderate of ways).
I am not and never have been a member of the Labour Party. Don’t you get it? It’s the SNP I’m mocking – this has nothing do with tribal politics.
>> I’m a social democrat. I do support the SNP as I identify with their ambition for Scotland’s citizens and economy, their commitment to social justice, their commitment to renewable energy and their internationalism.
And would you like to teach the world to sing as well. Sorry, mate, my head is filled with wild laughing gaels at that piece of hogwash.
>> Politicians of all hues need to understand that the propensity to drift into childish name calling is one of the reasons why so many people have stopped voting.
Let’s have this discussion once more… what other politicians may have said should be tackled on their merits. None of this detracts from unacceptable/hilarious comments which may come from the SNP.
If you wish to discuss X, Y and Z, either find a compliant blog or write a suitable piece. I would hope that Tom would agree to put it up.
Not that the SNP has that much of a sense of self-awareness with their virulent anti-Dutch racism.
