I have far more happy memories of the drug-filled days of my student years than the 20 years of smoking 20 fags a day, thats for certain.

Why would people lie about It? When I was at Uni inn the 70s most of my friends partook of illegal substances, but plenty chose very deliberately not to, just as people choose not to smoke or to drink.

That's one of mine for once.
Firstly I think the post was incorrect, secondly just returning the insult used against someone else. Public Holiday here today for Lizzie so no work to worry about.
But ever so sorry Mother Superior, sorry.

I’d be happy to help - drop me a PM with his name and number and I’ll tell him, no problem.
Like lorry driver Peter Sutcliffe or farm labourer Fred West.

I’d be more concerned about a politician who had never taken drugs as a youngster rather than condemn them for it. Just about everyone who has reached the top seems to have done so in their youth
Or am I wrong?
In their youth....Gove was 30.
Where I think your statement can be reversed is should we be concerned at MPs who condemn drug use and pass regressive draconian policies against it, even though they themselves have been users?
All very well saying they have all probably done it to reach the top, but their decisions are getting other people doing the same thing banged up and with criminal records.

Do you still get banged up for using drugs? I have no idea, it’s been a long long time and I never reached the top either

I think the important question is should we really give two hoots about what someone vying to be Prime Minister has done in private decades ago or should we give two hoots about their attitudes and voting histories in relation to taxes, defence, immigration, Brexit, social equality and upward mobility, closing the wealth gap, closing the gender inequality gap, social care, the NHS, welfare, education etc etc etc.
All vastly more relevant to the potential job at hand compared to what Gove stuck up his nose.

Due to the complete lack of empathy in any of these characters it's pretty safe to say they've never dabbled in ecstacy

Yeah sure I take your point.
But still, the last day and a half have been dominated by news of something he did twenty years ago rather than how he intends to lead the country should he get the job.
I know what I'm more interested in.

At least you tried though.... respect for that.

Then he would have had to admit going to illegal raves or a frequenter of Sterns, somehow I just can’t see Gove at one of those

Feck me I'd pay good money to be in a club with all the cabinet on E's...
Shit you'd tell them that you loved them all though wouldn't you Tom
Unfortunately reactions such as we've seen to the Gove thing is why we can't have a proper drugs debate in this country.
