[QUOTE="gingergenius, post: 361684, member: 33219"] Some of you will remember almost two years ago, there was a topic about the legalisation f drugs: [URL]http://www.therugbyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?13028-Should-drugs-be-legalised[/URL] Now, Bob Ainsworth MP, formerly of the home office, has called for the legalisation of all drugs: [URL]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-12005824[/URL] What do you guys think now? Both the BBC and, surprisingly, the Daily Mail message boards seem to be overwhelmingly supportive of Ainsworth. Which begs the question: If ordinary people can realise and accept what's staring them in the face, 1) why has Ainsworth waited to be a backbencher before airing this opinion; 2) why is the current government point-blanc refusing to consider it; 3) why is Ed Milliband, in opposition, too scared to support his MP? I'm not starting this topic to restart the debate on drug legalisation - it's more a question of [I]why [/I]our politicians (left and right) seem to be SO scared of middle england. [/QUOTE]
