Brown v Nutt

[ffutures]

Just watching the Prof. Nutt thing re cannabis etc. on the news; Gordon Brown really is staggeringly inept, isn't he...

All he really needed to do was say "thanks, we'll consider it the next time we look at this legislation" then forget about it for a few months. Or better yet, do something about it. But no, not a chance.

Roll on the next election...

You see that's the trouble with learned advisory committees - they go away, study the evidence, and then advise you accordingly...

And, of course, when using terms like 'lethal' around doctors and scientists, who actually know what it means (although surely this should also be true of a PM?), they will point out to you when you get it wrong!

Prof Nutt really can run rings around Gordon Brown, can't he?

Especially loved the bit where Nutt was explaining exactly why riding a horse was actually more dangerous than drugs. Some people really don't understand the idea of "risk" at all.
