David Cameron Should Say If He Has Ever Taken Heroin or Cocaine

Under that heading, Martin Meenagh writes:

Because he has acknowledged the rumours in denying that he had taken drugs in the past decades, or whilst a Member of Parliament, and because he believes that the next election will be a matter of character, David Cameron should give a simple answer to the rumours and anecdotes and potential slanders flying around from people who knew him in Oxford, and given the reputation of the Bullingdon Club, and from those who knew him when he was in public relations.

No reader should read these words as anything other than a request that Mr Cameron make a denial on a matter of public interest, and given the present atmosphere, that he do so unequivocally. Charles Kennedy, after all, was asked if he had a drink problem, and Gordon Brown has also answered deeply personal questions in the past.

Did Mr Cameron take illegal drugs that change perception, alter neural pathways, affect personality, and which sustain an international network of murder and crime whilst enjoying the privilege of a good education? His right to a cloak of personal business ends when he wants to take the authority to raise taxes or kill people that political executives wield.

So I've set up a Facebook group. It's a pathetically small gesture; but what else can you do with these people?
