BLAIR WON'T BE PERSUADED
In 1997, Tony Blair said that he would not consider decriminalising or
legalising cannabis even if that were the recommendation of a Royal
Commission.
Since then, he has dismissed the recommendations of, among others, the
House of Lords Select Committee, the Cleveland Police Authority, two
Chief Constables in Scotland, Edward Ellison - ex-head of Scotland
Yard's Drugs Squad and now even the Police Foundation.
Oh well, at least he's being consistent.
