I have come to realise that the Labour government (I don’t say ‘my government’, please notice) only listens to advsiors when they say something they want to hear.

The reason I say this is because this morning we have Copenhagen conference starting, and Ed Miliband was on TV talking about his advisors telling him about climate change. Yet, when a well-respected professor talks about drugs (Professor Nutt) and that they should be reclassified, the government fires him.

While it may be difficult for people to believe that some drugs are not as bad as the government want us to believe, most of us believe in climate change (I’m not saying it doesn’t exist). Perhaps this is the reason, after all lots of money can be made from climate change technologies, relatively little can be made by restricting alcohol and permitting drugs such as ecstacy or marijuana.
