DRUGS MUST GET ZERO TOLERANCE

THE downgrading of cannabis to class C is yet another signal that New
Labour cannot police this country effectively.

They claim the police do not have the resources to cope with soft drug users.

This is a shameful slur on our underfunded police force, who have the
unfortunate task of operating under a government who seem determined not to
cut the red tape, ie excessive paperwork and politically correct measures
which are enforced on its officers.

relaxation of drug laws is not the answer, zero tolerance is.

Labour need to send out a strong defining message to children and ill
informed adults, that the use of any illegal drug is both detrimental to
health and morally wrong.

Labour have failed to do this, but should we be surprised?

After all we have a prime minister who seems more concerned with the
fortunes of the English football team than he does about the pound or our
national identity that goes with it.

Labour have a further three years in office; one can only hope common
sense will prevail sooner, rather than later.
