sorry, this is in relation to Gove writing an article condemning drug use, hours before admitting his use of it
ok, I didn`t realise it. Hypocrite right enough Bap.
Can you imagine Grove being PM 
Makes Boris look like Lloyd George 
Makes Boris look like Lloyd George
would have been easier to write this instead. Ill start again
he wrote an article years ago for The Times condemning drug use then went on to take it a few hours later. This is according the Mail

themightymac: i've already stated on my vote topic that i will leave this country if Gove became PM; & i mean it. Other reasons as well of course but he would be the final straw
she's more of a 'leaver' than her hubby is; & that's a fact
It's funny seeing them all confess to past drug use, just so nobody can out them to the media.
Ironically, it shows just how out of touch they really are. Everyone uses drugs to get through life, it's not even a big deal any more.

I'm awaiting Loathsome saying she had orgies down at the Caribbean club
or Esther admitting similar; which would be less believable tbh
never met him myself but similar age, grew up in same city so know a few people that were at school with him.
they are deeply shocked, like who him, no ******* way shocked. tbf they are also more likely to vote for him
now*.
*by more likely i mean they won't

Might seem so, prima facie, baphornet, but I think it's just to get some **** out of the whips black book or an effort to stop the press digging.
good god, dunlaying my good chap; i'd pay some moolah to see that
might be right there, Richie

ffs mac..its bad enough he is Scottish..a reptile bereft of any decency..at least he is where he belongs with the tories.
100% spot on kenny.
I thought you had said before, apologies

Gove is definitely the slimiest politician on the circuit.
dear god what a druggie bunch of tories, back in the day it was just booze & orgies. the soul of the party is at risk
you just know Gove has a Miss Whiplash hidden away somewhere in Dorset
can't remember if he was adopted or fostered but the family he grew up with were card carrying labour.
i think he was adopted because they tried but failed to give him back

Breaking News!!!! Michael Fabricant admits he once did glue, he cannot get his comedy wig off as a result. #ToryDrugOff
true dat about his adoptive family being staunch labour,
only half what i post are outright lies

in hipster London where all these freaks live,stay these days coke on the table sits next to the avocado toast,its insulting to peoples intelligence having them believe these people fessing up to drug taking 20 years ago arnt dabbling now
its believed a gove aid who was in the meetings at last leadership campaign where he admitted his coke use now works for raab,the raahb who said he wont get personal or attack fellow candidates,

What an utter shambles the Tory party are.
Boris seems to have a perennial issue with waffle and working out a consistent story, while trying to keep away from the parliamentary beak for rule breaking.
Gove admits to being a coke user (I have no problem with that, but the true hypocrisy is that he will be the PM who shapes the rules for the country, if he seems to think breaking them is ok then why would anyone take him seriously?...plus he’s only mentioning it now the focus is on him)
Stewart says he toked on an opium pipe out in Iran
Hunt (now this one is as pathetic as I’ve heard) THINKS he might have taken a sip of a cannabis drink while hiking in Pakistan god that’s so terrible that one. Like saying he once used 2 beachams flu remedies within a 4 hour period, what a sack.
Non of them have any connection with the masses, they haven’t got a clue about what people go through.

my old man (he is 82) had never divulged his politics much although we argue a lot about the SNP.
At the last election he told me votes both ways as he thinks one party checks the instinct of the other.
he thinks two terms is ok but three is bad news. he may be on to something.
really he should just vote lib dem, i suspect that is where his politics lies. he told me he did vote SDLP (is that right?)
when they were on the go.

Firstly, Gove is a remainer and therefore should not be PM.
Secondly, journalists are famed for their drug use and as such are in no place to criticise Gove. He took it 20 years ago. He made a mistake. He'd only be hypocritical in his writing against drug use if he were still using cocaine, but he isn't.

how do you no ,only an idiot of the highest order would believe gove last snorted 20 years ago, its like olly reed saying he last drank 20 years ago, even though drink was on table 7 days a week 52 weeks a year for the next 20 years in the circles he lived in
Gove being a slime ball and almost as much of a backstabber as boris should be just as concerning really.
Are there really many journos criticising these Tories *solely* for their drug use? They are all happy to write off their antics in younger days as a bit of jolly fun, something that less privileged drug users arent getting the benefit of.

Good chance esther is on something if she decided Philip Davies is worth marrying
they must have told gove we know about this and it is too good a story not to print but you can get ahead of it.
no way he just gives that up in a regular interview.

Gove needs to give Barry the bore some of that Colombian marching powder of his
Michael admits to cocaine use on "several occasions"...I wander how long a time period these occasions were...I also wonder what he regards as several?
2 or 3 or 103?

all these experts telling us skunk,pot,coke all highly addictive but all these mp,s with nthe money,time access to drugs supposedly stop in a nano second, makes you wonder why millions upon millions of others cant,

Isn't it in some book coming out soon?
It's kind of odd because the people most anti-Tory don't really see the taking of drugs as an explosive story, more the people who are most likely to be sympathetic to Gove/the other MPs.
as explained on tv ,its not the coke itself,its the fact that coke is seen as decadent,for the privileged,sign of wealth in certain London circles,be completely different reaction if it was heroin,crack,etc
dunno if i just got poor quality or was always too drunk to appreciate it but, a long time ago, it was just
like a red bull. you could stay up longer, drink more, fail to perform sexually. same old same old.

On D-Day troops were apparently given chocolate with amphetamine in it. When will these stories about the horrifying drug past of our heroes (including obviously, Gove) stop?
I have heard stories that troops were given amphetamines. Probably given a lot worse!
Gove will also have to explain why he lied on his ESTA too!
It is not looking good for him. He even wrote an article in 1999 about how bad middle class drug use was! He will be sunk below the water line soon. I wonder if the anti Borris Alliance has a candidate yet!

Both sides gave them out, the Germans gave drugs out like sweeties. Then again both Hitler and Goering (at least) were drug addicts themselves so there was no hypocrisy there :P

ffs Gove a hero, get a grip ydc.
If you can`t fathom out why the D-Day troops were given chocolate laced with amphetamine, I won`t even bother to explain.
Public office is no place for law breakers, they should all be kicked out. Churchill was allegedly an alkie, but he held this country together during WWII and drink is legal. That is the difference. Gove is not fit for public office.
People taking drugs are breaking the law, regardless of what they take and whether they say it`s less dangerous than alcohol, blah, blah, blah.

LOL if ever you needed proof Mac has a total sense of humour and sarcasm bypass (which I'm sure has been noted before), please print out the above sad rant! Maybe late on a sunday night with a few late-weekend-bells he just can't see my name with out the chip on his shoulder flaring up

.. I mean seriously. Reading that rant again, it's real shake the head time. Poor show old chap.
There certainly is a serious conflict of interest having a person in high office who couldn’t bring themselves to live in accordance with the very rules they dish up for others, but there is a potential advantage.
The only realistic outcome of a drug user taking high office would be to review drug law in a more liberal manner, rather than the joke it is at present. Such a person attempting to justify the continuation of such a flawed series of Dickensian laws would get laughed out. There is a large and ever growing set of voices from politicians to scientists who lambast the stringent approach to drug use with regions decriminalising certain drugs with a view of allowing further research to their benefits.
I’m not talking about cocaine, but psilocybin and MDMA (beautiful drugs they are too) that have wonderful properties and healing ability. For far too long this totalitarian regime has dictated to supposedly ‘free’ people (Rousseau-‘man is born free yet spends his life in chains’) just so they can force people other than themselves to be the farmed human that turns the wheel in all the s hitty paid labour that is required to keep productivity going.
‘Turn on, tune in, drop out’.

That worked out well for David Nutt. They haven't got the majority to try anything controversial.
What that showed was what we surely all must know; that the game is ****.
If you task somebody you call the 'Drug Tsar' to commission an objective review of all drugs and that outcome returns telling a story that counters to the lie used to condition the population, and subsequently sack him then I think we know where the problem is.
The movement against this doctrine is growing.
The idea that we are all controlled into thinking we must desire more of everything (stuff we dont need and has increasingly short usefulness due to rapid change and inbuilt obsolescence) because it spurs employment and growth is rubbish. People get sacked when robots can take their place and wages are controlled at the point all profit is generated (the conversion of energy, not through investemnt; that simply strips value and raises prices)
The fallacy of the democratic illusion, where not only those holding captial dictate the direction, but also the validity of the information used to coerce the electorate doesnt even get scrutinised.
Terrorism used as a clarion to divide people (when terrorism kills only a fraction of the people ideology does) and create the next generation of snooping on everyone who spend increasing amounts of time online that now gets analysed in data forms to predict and control with greater alacrity.
People need to realise we all have a collective investment in things, things that are available to us all. Greed has been used to create artificial need and turns us all blind to nature. We should all be like hippies

Cool graph I saw about the terrorism thing, divide and rule innit.

Seems absurd that legalisation, decriminalisation and drug consumption rooms are working in Denmark, Portugal, Switzerland, usa + Canada but not even on the agenda here.

Absolutely right Dusty.
The sad fact is that non of the candidtes to my knowledge have talked about the drug laws ( well Javid at least has said something ). Mainly I suspect because they want the blue rinse to vote for them in a run off. OK I can undertsand that but will they do anything about it when in power? No chance!
They are a class of people who operate above the law. They have created a class of people who now openly operate below the law because of the lack of Police the Tory Party has presided over.
Shame on all of them and may they be visited by a pox upon their house's!

It was a sarcastic joke - thanks for explaining it.
