Cocaine traces at EU parliament

[emad]

Cocaine traces have been found at the European Parliament in an inquiry by one of Germany's main broadcasters.

The Sat-1 channel sent reporters to take 46 swabs from toilets and other public areas of the Brussels buildings. Nearly all tested positive for cocaine.

A European Parliament spokeswoman said cocaine abuse was not a problem among staff working at the buildings.

A professor who analysed the samples said the amounts found were too great to have been carried in on clothing.

17. *rimshot*

TYY:D

5. I'm not in the least surprised.

I daresay the result would be the same in most parliament and senate buildings.

[northzax]

7. and most every building

where people work insane hours.

[Taxloss]

8. Absolutely. This is not exactly a huge scoop.

I daresay a similar result would come from the journalist's own offices.

6. Didn't some study quite a while ago

find traces of cocaine on a large percentage of US currency ?

[quaway]

Yuhrup? Been there. Done that.

[Bassic]

11. Gee you mean high level, highly stressed important people..

12. There's still power in a union.

[ovidsen]

13. breaking news?

It would have been a real story if cocaine hadn't been found.

[bahrbearian]

14. Wasn't Chimpy just there? That would make sense then

[emad]

15. Maybe that's why he fell off his bike at Gleneagles on his birthday

and injured UK cop.....

Withdrawal symptoms from powdering his nose ...or just plain drunk and forgot to put on stabilisers...

[maxsolomon]

16. swabbing toilets for drug residue?

don't call it fascism, anyone!

[Kellanved]

18. it is meaningless

Most taxis are stronger contaminated than that. Probably there are MEPs using cocaine, but this piece of "reporting" has no value to prove it.

[Dr Fate]

19. Could be BS. Who is to say WHO put the coke there?

I smell BS.

[dArKeR]

20. Why do WE have to take drug tests but politicians do NOT?

Politicians should also have to take semi-annual psychological tests.

21. Ummmm, let's see...WHO CARES??
