The hypocrisy will do for Michael Gove. I don't have a problem with him having taken drugs but I do have a problem with him as Justice Minister and Education Minister ending people's careers and sending people to jail for stuff he himself did.
On a wider level, who in their right mind would want to become an MP? You have to be whiter than white, have people bitching about you all the time and the pay's not brilliant. Increasingly MPs will be drawn from nerds and the mediocre, not people to lead or inspire.

I suspect that the would be politician is still green with envy as Gove will be when he fails to make the final two.
I also suspect that the call to the Mirror that led to the vile man admitting his past habit came indirectly from Bojo as he looked to return ‘a knife in the back’ after Gove had slayed him in the previous leadership election.
On your last point, maybe future MPs will therefore be drawn from people who actually want to make difference and not self-serving power mad hypocrites?

Can't see the fuss personally. It would be an issue if they where doing it now. Wonder if we will hear from the Labour party.
I reckon you are wrong you massive prick.

the last sentence has already come to fruition
Jesus. You’re a bit tetchy this morning; the come downs don’t get any easier do they mate? Tuesdays are even worse.

I’ve posted before about us vs Southend a few years back. The beer garden at the Spread Eagle looked like a bakery with sniff all over the shop and I spent 90 minutes in the K hole. Not the best experience meeting God in the away end.

The whole thing is thoroughly depressing.
Sure Gove’s a hypocrite, but what politician isn’t? You’ve got Boris shagging Petronella Wyatt behind his wife’s back and paying for an abortion, you’ve got Andrea Leadsom lying about her career in the city, you’ve got Jeremy Corbyn saying that liking an anti-Semitic post should be ignored, you’ve got Chris Hahn lying about taking speeding points, you’ve got dodgy expenses claims still rife.
There is zero moral high ground in politics. They are all hypocritical wankers.

Did you write that up by yourself?
I haven't and I'm not a liar. Fact is it's illegal and very stupid so he has disqualified himself from being PM.

I say good for you if you haven't. In the end it just messes up your head. I was in to rave scene in the 90s, but knew when to stop.

one of the main attributes of a successful politician, Shirley?
Do you regret it though or do you have happy memories?

I just hope that the takehome on this isn't ' taking drugs was bad, I really regret it, sorry for being a hypocrite about that' and more 'saying we should ruin the lives of people who take drugs in their youth is bad, I regret it, sorry for being a hypocrite about that'
I don't live in much hope. I want politicians freely admitting to taking drugs and it not being important anymore.
As has been said many many times, the effects of drugs being illegal has ruined many many more lives than the effects of drugs themselves.
