If they are finding drug use in the house of commons .Then like they do in other workplace environments .Those who work there should be subject to sample testing .Being that it's the commons and they are government and public servants .Then it should be mandatory for them to take drug tests
The recreational drug use is not the problem it never has been Alcohol causes more deaths and social problems than all the drugs put together You want to come down hard go for the drinkers for a change
Mr Wright was correct to cite the Volstead Act of 1919. The rise of Al Capone and his ilk was a salutory lesson we should have learned over 100 years ago. Just as US politicians bought liquor from him, the toilets in Westminster bear traces of cocaine as our "public servants" have a snort between debates. The War on Drugs was lost in the 1970s. If we want to win it capital punishment for every drug user (as well as dealer) needs to be imposed. I'd legalise it.
it won't make a goddamn bit of difference as junkies can't afford to go abroad anyway and i suspect all this is to lay the foundation for a social credit system like what's in China now where people who speak out aren't allowed 5km away from their home
Drug addicts do this they look back in the past and talk about moon shines and speak eases and Portugal which drug addiction from crack and cocaine have been a total disaster there to there society

If governmnents stopped making people poor and suppressed withlittle hope then that would ease drug problem.

I'm gonna presume that Peter Hitchens was not invited on to discuss this topic with Nigel?
He was but it was wooten who invited him so he said piffle to that and then went on a long and meandering story. He may still be talking.
remind me again how bad drug crime was in the 50's sonny jim, oh i forgot, we had proper painful uncomfortable deterrents then
What were they
ok sonny jim did the 50's have as much crack , cocaine , spice , ketamine, cannabis , etc etc there's probably more drugs

It's about educating individuals if we are going on the path to decriminalising which I endorse.
Honest drugs
look at Singapore!
strict rules and no drug problem!
you can continue this lenient policy but don't be surprised that you country is sinking...
The problem is, like Nige says, you cannot go down that road because of the ECHR and other conventions the UK is legally bound to.
