Russell Brand / Peter Hitchens drugs debate (BBC Newsnight, 2012.08.10.Fri)

Russell Brand and Peter Hitchens debate drug policy. (also with Chip Somers [Chief Executive, Focus 12], David Burrowes [Conservative MP].)
topic: Specifically, should we regard users as addicts or criminals?
source: BBC Two "Newsnight", 2012.08.10.Fri.
reason added: For open public discourse.
licence: Under fair use. (issues? contact me.)
Surprisingly for such a topic, it ends rather funnily!
Quite like both parties; Peter can be particularly acerbic, but then Russell is generally infuriatingly disruptive.
Stephanie Flanders does a reasonable job; her softly approach gently keeping the two main protagonists in line adds to the humour.
