Don't Be Doped

There has been no "War on Drugs", really ever, but at the very latest since the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. Can you guess which party was in government in 1971? Can you name a prominent lady Cabinet Minister in that year? Lord Hailsham duly sent out the order that no one was any longer to be imprisoned for the possession of cannabis, and look where we are today.

All cheered on by the likes of Bob Ainsworth's International Marxist Group. But voted against, like so much else (the Bill replacing of O-levels with GCSEs, the Police and Criminal Evidence Act, the Bill automatically halving every sentence the moment that it is passed, the European Communities Act, the Single European Act, and so on, and on, and on), by the party that was overthrown and supplanted by the likes of Bob Ainsworth's International Marxist Group. Here's to electoral reform, and thus to that party's restoration.
