The 'Department in Chaos' Prepares for Attack

Hello, Clubbers. Nanny wants you.

Those who enjoy a smoke and a pill with their clubbing, not to mention a wrap of something else, had best watch out. Nanny's after their toys again.

"You will do as you are told."

When you're losing a war and you're pig-headed, what you do is try even harder with the tactics that have already failed. Visualise the aggressive knight in the Monty Python film who, after he'd lost everything except his head, still threatened to bite his opponent.

Under new plans shortly to be debated, the Home Office will propose that if you are caught with five ecstasy tablets or 5g (1/5oz) of cannabis you will be prosecuted as a dealer and thus eligible for 14 years imprisonment.

The Advisory Committee on the Misuse of Drugs, whose previous advice has been followed by Home Secretaries, has suggested that the cannabis threshold should be 28gm (1oz) and ectstasy 20 tablets (2g). They warned that the new levels proposed by government were so low that they were likely to cause policing problems.

The Home Secretary has also announced a crackdown on British cannabis farms and a public education campaign to stress both the harm and the illegal status of the drug.

The education campaign should start with members of parliament and the media and should stress both the false propaganda and manipulated research which the public has been fed for the past eighty years.

New lower levels of 2g for possession of heroin, cocaine and crack cocaine are also proposed. No change to speed at 14g, so Nanny won't be sending you to bed early.

My nanny says: "It's time those in authority - all over the world - grew up and stopped behaving like spoilt kids who try to get their way by bullying and tantrums."
