…and the fallout from the sacking of Professor David Nutt for telling the unpalatable truth on drugs seems to be getting from bad to worse.
Afternoon all and news reaches me via Sky News that another eminent scientist has resigned from his government advisory role in protest of the above mentioned sacking. Fears are growing within government circles of further resignations, or possibly an en masse decapitation scenario with every scientist on the Drug advisory Board resigning in support of Professor Nutt.
From sacking someone for telling people how it is, it would be seen as summing up the ineptitude with the Labour Government right now. But like all embattled governments, they will not admit that they, like all governments before them have been wrong in this regard. And this resignation being forced upon Professor Nutt by someone who is supposed to represent the Progressive Left.
The bottom line remains this: Alcohol and cigarettes are far far more likely to harm and eventually kill its addicts, than drugs such as Cannabis and Ecstasy, but too many influential people in high places have got too much to lose by admitting that.
Corruption Kills.
