LISTEN TO THIS MAN

CAN you imagine how much power it takes for one man to silence a room of 400
teenage boys with a speech?

Leah Bett's father Paul, speaking on subject matter to which I had
previously paid little attention, brought out unsuspected emotions in us.
Every secondary school child should witness this man's emotive and
informative drugs presentation.

I was shocked to learn he is not being sponsored for this vocation. Perhaps
the Government should consider funding this - not wasting time and money on
Section 28 which effects a small minority rather than the 95 per cent of
people under 18 who will be offered illegal drugs.
