The government can take a hike, frankly.
A senior minister today urged dinner party guests to call the cops on fellow revellers if they spot them smoking cannabis at Christmas gatherings.
Kit Malthouse made the plea as the Government announced a crackdown on middle class drug taking in an effort to cut crime and disorder.
The North East Hampshire MP said that anyone who witnesses the law being broken at festive season get-togethers should report it, even if it is just a guest lighting a joint.
Kit Malthouse can do one. Okay, this is rather hypothetical as I am unlikely to be in this situation, but I have in the past witnessed people smoking joints. It’s not something I want to do and I never have, but what others choose to do is none of my concern. I am not going to call the police on them. It simply is not going to happen. The war on drugs is a pointless exercise that costs money, time and effort and solves nothing. It is an unwinnable war and I won’t indulge it. But even then, I refuse to indulge the nasty informer style society these vile people wish to create. So, yes, Kit Malthouse can stick his request where the sun don’t shine. Nasty little Stasi wannabe.
Does this apply to the Parties at Westminster?
And does it apply to cocaine as well as cannabis?
Kit Malthouse does irony. Does he know that he is doing it, or is he out of his head?
Good on Kit Malthouse, we can’t have people putting potential harmful substances into their body in case it affects other people or causes them to put a strain on the NHS. And on that note, I’m off for my next vaccine booster shot.
What a knob… I’m not inviting him to my ‘festive season get-togethers’ just in case my ‘fellow revellers’ disembowel the little shit. I don’t want to have the mess on my carpet 🙂
I wondered what was causing all that knife crime. …. It was those weed smokers all along!
Typical clueless politician: they reduce spending on the fuzz, then expect Joe Public to report others’ behaviour to them. Many of the fuzz, meanwhile, are excouraged (aka ordered) to investigate today’s trendy thought crime while their colleagues in the real world struggle to do the job we pay them for.
How long before they apply this to tobacco smokers or drinkers of alcohol ?
My next door neighbour often has a light on in his greenhouse. Even if I seriously suspected that he was growing cannabis I certainly wouldn’t report it to anyone.
Same here. I knew damned well that my neighbours were breaching lockdown restrictions, but I don’t go snitching to plod over such things.
Good for you. This might also be an opportunity to identify those ‘bad’ (Informant) neighbours and leave them only a cold shoulder in future.
That’s buggered his invitation to Michael Gove’s Boxing Day bash this year . . .
