    It's a token gesture to make it look like something is being done when in reality it will make next to **** all difference.

    People will lap it up mind.

    Cannabis the gateway drug <laugh>
    You sound like a primary school teacher.

    We're talking about a medicine ffs. Alcohol has one reason, to get you high. Cannabis is and has been saving lives for hundreds of years.

    I wouldn't ban either btw. I'd legalise Cannabis and put the price of alcohol up to relate to it's effects.
    If you were to abuse both, heroin causes less long term effects then alcohol

    A clean heroin addict can easily be 100% fit.
    A sober alcoholic nearly always has life long damage.

    I know not everyone that drinks becomes an alcoholic, but not everyone that smokes weed becomes a heroin addict. It's not the substance behind the addiction it's the person. That's basic knowledge about addiction. There is no such thing as a gateway drug - the person is the gateway.

    Sorry but that **** frustrates me <laugh>

    People who are dependant on Alcohol will just sacrifice something else in order to finance it . Or turn to robbery etc .

    It's an illness , and this is not the way to tackle it IMHO .

    ****ing crazy.

    It a problem for society to deal with starting a government level.

    Punishing those people will not help but push them further into poverty.

    Heard Windsor has started forcedly moving people out in preparation for the Royal wedding.

    They are not exactly a fan of the poor and aren't interested in helping those in need, keep the rich rich or if at all possible make them richer... at the expense of the poor. My money is either they will be used for hunting or rounded up, put in a zoo for the rich bastards to poke them with sticks

    yup, it's a joke, these guys need social housing not fine.

    First thing they should do is scrap the right to buy rule and chuck in rent controls

    Part of this management course I'm doing is about housing policy, just finished an assignment on The Right to Buy - quick way for people to scam the system basically. It doesn't solve solve the housing problem, just adds to it.

    Margaret Thatcher at her finest <doh>
    Although tbf to her it was advised to her that people that had lived in their council property for 20 years should just be given it and she basically said **** off and implemented The Right to Buy.

    Pull them over and use a time specific test. Why?

    The problem is the tests these cheap ****s use only tells you if it's in your system, not amount in your system etc.
