Interesting but not surprising that they only list cannabis for Boris when he has admitted to taking cocaine himself. Wonder why they left that out?The drug cabinet.

Britain's backwardness on drug policy is becoming rapidly apparent these days.
It is disappointing that Labour in particular hasn't addressed this given how bold their policies have become elsewhere - and not least because the tax income from legal cannabis would fund a lot of utilities share-buybacks and uni tuition fees. Weaning boomers off the booze and onto something more palliative would also surely save millions in NHS overruns and late-night policing costs.
My reactionary suburban relatives in Canada are all gleefully chomping down on edibles now, and holidays have become vastly more tolerable as a result (whereas my cousins and I once had to indulge just to be able to withstand the whinging about lawns, Sheila Copps, and Quebec, in that order).
Imagine a Brexit Party rally packed to the rafters with frothing and indignant elderly Land Rover owners, and then think of the salutatory effect a soothing 100 complementary cubic metres or so of newly medicinal vapour pumped in through the cooling system would have our politics and society.
I'm not even joking. A nationwide Free Ounces for Brexit Voters programme could be exactly the spark (pun intended) we need to bring this country back together.

Didn't he use a sneezing analogy for the coke similar to I did not inhale cannabis, so therefore did not really use it....

Anyway with councils going bust up and down the country and leaving Grandads and Grandmas sitting in their own urine and faeces all day and with Boris offering more Tax cuts to the richest there is good chance he is no longer sneezing...

Cant get me head around that idea at all.
And with that, it's time for tea.

40% tax rate for £80,000 and above - MP's current yearly salary £79,468 - I'm sure it's purely coincidental.

Imagine coming from Liverpool, and having a picture of Thatcher in front of you as you launch your leadership bid. A woman who advocated the ‘managed decline’ of your home city, and actively covered up the Hillsborough tragedy.
McVey is utterly shameless, soulless, gutless and clueless.

She's not trying to get your vote though.
She's a career politician.
They are all the same.
Hence the state we are now in at the moment in this country.

Is that the Tory metaphor for a few lines?
