Tory MP Justine Greening and Government minister Liam Byrne competed to express their view that ecstasy should not be downgraded. The usual uninspired knee-jerk on drugs from know-nothing politicos who once again, just ignore their own scientific advisers. Having condemned coke and E, I look forward to seeing Justine scouring the dinner parties of her posh part of the capital, arresting all those Sloanes who powder their noses. She can get down down to a few Chelsea clubs and bars and round up the trustafarian pill poppers too. But of course she won't. Because in her and the political class' eyes - drug addicts only live in council estates.
On a completely unrelated point - if Diane Abbot didn't exist, would she need to be invented? I'm watching her now on the late night politics slot and living in hope that one day she'll say something worth listening to. It's a forlorn hope though.
