        But surely you can see where he is coming from can’t you? People are being let down in this country and it fucking stinks.

          I can until you look a little deeper, start to really think about the issues he’s talking about. Then it just seems like an angry right wing over simplification. But its just my view, its probably as ignorant as his 😉

                      for those calling for harsher sentences – if you were unlucky to get busted for a large amount of drugs and charged with posession with intent to supply, would you say “I must take my punishment fairly and do 5 years instead of 18 months” or turn down early release, or not try and get a good lawyer to bargain down your sentence? I very much doubt it. So why expect other criminals not to do the same?

                      or if someone ripped you off and you had a fight with them and won but feds turned up and you got arrested, would you not try and plead self defence?

                      I know there is the argument recreational drug use should be legal, but there’s also a counterargument that on some occasions the use of drugs including party drugs makes people commit impulsive acts including violence.

                      I have seen people get violent even after taking “happy” drugs like pills. We must all know at least one person what gets a bit agressive on coke. Plus the kind of people what sell “happy” drugs are often involved in the nasty stuff. And as drugs aren’t legal yet and probably won’t be in our lifetimes we are all fuelling various forms of criminality by our own use, including the stuff we claim to hate.

                      the most recent incarnation of the “permissive” society, especially the grudging tolerance towards greater use of drugs and alcohol and the media being free to report on and even promote these activities as well as being able to talk more freely about sex started when Thatcho was in power – in 1987, a whole decade before anyone even knew about Tony Blair. it happened because she reduced controls on the media and companies to make the free market work better – I remember seeing society change myself. Thatcher herself regretted what she has done and said in a recent interview it was all a mistake and “freedom went too far”.
