Punishing drug users is pointless, says Home Office report!!!! What no body has ever done is to produce the actual figures on exactly how much 'ant-drug enforcement' costs! I would suggest that the cost of hundreds, probably thousands, of police chasing a few grams of class A or a bag of weed would be enormous. And for what? People will always try a 'little something' to relax or whatever, be it drinking, smoking or more extreme methods. This is a given throughout history and civilisation.(Prohibition in the USA being one of the more recent failures) Professor David Nutt was the government advisor who came up with the correct solution but the wrong answer for the government, and was summarily sacked for his comments about horse riding being more dangerous than ecstasy. Get a life and enjoy it to your own moral standards, NOT those thrust upon you by the idiots in power.

The squiggly bloke in the picture here must have been a right tosser! Listen to Pat Condell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJoxVkGHzI0

Reason not superstition. Ethics not dogma. Respect not worship. Courage not fear. Fact not myth. Morality not religion. Clarity not delusion. Good not god. Skeptic not cynic. Rationality not ideology.

“It is taboo, in our society, to criticize a person's religious faith.” “It's taboo to even to notice the differences among our religions. It's taboo, for instance, to even notice that certain religions lead to violence in a way that other religions don't. Certain religious doctrines promulgate violence. Now, what I argue in my book (The End of Faith) is that these taboos are offensive, deeply unreasonable but worse than that, they're getting people killed. This is really my concern, my concern is that our religions, the diversity of our religious doctrines, is going to get us killed. I'm worried that our religious discourse, our religious beliefs are ultimately incompatible with civilization.” —Sam Harris

..........and who do you suppose was committing this vile abuse???????????? Well fcuk me if it's not the old rag-head brigade again! Up to their usual twisted tricks and moronic muslim sexual mentality. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/11057647/Rotherham-sex-abuse-scandal-1400-children-exploited-by-Asian-gangs-while-authorities-turned-a-blind-eye.html

Q - What's the difference between a Muslim and a violent, psychopathic killer???? A - A niqab and an AK47................

Strange, according to Islamic sources, didn't Muhammad engage in terrorism & have his critics and opposition murdered by his followers? Not to mention, of course, personally taking slaves & committing rape and mass murder(ie the beheading of 600-900 male members of a Jewish tribe who had surrendered.) What a shining example of love & humanity - the "person" (whom I don't really believe ever existed) held up to Muslims as the supreme example of human conduct and someone to be imitated!

I wish you guys would stop going on about the wonderful Spanish climate !! Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, of course, even in currently right wing Spain. But the problem is (and it is a very serious one) is that Iain Duncan Smith is watching and listening ! He wants to believe you ! Because he is just dying to axe the Winter Fuel Allowance for British Nationals living in Spain and will almost certainly do so if he is re-elected. He has already declared that "Spain is a hot country" (which is a bit like saying "Iain Duncan Smith is a clever man;" neither are true !) Taken as a whole, Spain is not a hot country. It can be and in summer it is very hot indeed. But it is also very cold. According to official Met Office statistics from both countries, inland Spain is colder, on average, than London in November, December, January and February. Considerably so in January and February. It also rains a very great deal (although not every year) and snows a lot. Snow usually arrives in Spain before it ever snows in England and there is much more of it. I realise that the vast majority of "Brits" live on that very narrow coastal strip bordering the Mediterranean which has what is termed as a "Mediterranean Climate." But venture a few miles inland and up the mountains on to that vast and massive central plateau that is the great majority of Spain and you are subjected to what is known as a "Continental Climate." Very cold winters and stinking hot summers. Spain is a very, very large country and the coastal strip, albeit grossly overcrowded, is a very tiny part of Spain overall. It may be the "centre of the world" and even Paradise for most expats but it is only a tiny, tiny (and very unrepresentative) part of Spain. Some years ago, I was working on the Costa del Sol during January and February and it was undoubtedly very pleasant indeed but, my fellow ex-countrymen, it is not very typical of the rest of Spain, whatever Duncan Smith may wish to believe ! I love Spain and have lived here for eleven years but "the climate" would be nowhere near the top of my list !! Indeed, I would term the overall Spanish climate as "bloody awful"and something that, during the winter, is to be endured rather than enjoyed. The winter can be unremittingly cold and summers can be just plain silly, with temperatures often approaching 40 degrees. I am not saying that Spain is as cold as Siberia or even Austria; it just seems like it ! Central Heating is still very rare and Spaniards consider fitted carpets disgusting ! So it is cold stone floors and no heating and amongst the most expensive electricity in Europe (when it works!) So, despite our balmy climate on the Coast, please take pity on your freezing fellow citizens living in the frozen interior of wet, snowy Spain! If anybody needs a Winter Fuel Allowance, they do !
