Davis pressures Cameron to come clean about drug use
Edited on Sat Oct-15-05 07:19 PM by Fenris
EDITORIAL COMMENT: :rofl:

Davis adds to pressure over drugs

Conservative leadership candidate David Davis has intensified the pressure on his rival, David Cameron, over the use of drugs.

Mr Davis said in a Channel 4 interview he did not believe anyone who had used hard drugs in the recent past would be suitable to succeed Michael Howard.

<...>

Mr Davis repeated that he had never taken drugs, adding: "The whole idea of drugs makes me nervous."

<...>

Mr Cameron has backed the relaxation of drug laws and in 2002 said diamorphine - the medical name for heroin - should be prescribed to addicts "to stabilise them" and help wean them off drugs.

1. Good news about cameron
If he's cool on the drugs war, and willing to stand up for personal
choice and liberty, then i could support him. If he really wants to
show his leadership qualities, he should get ken clarke to join up with
him in a "grand tory coalition" of the modernizers and the non-insane.

2. Well then Davis, isn't it about time ...
... that you had a go at old Smoking Ken then? Seeing as how he has
been getting rich from other people's ill-health a lot longer than
Cameron has been getting over his own?

Hypocritical bunch of back-biters.
