As I enter the dark teatime of the soul and stare out across my land to see the wind tossing branches of trees about and the rain lashing against my windows, I feel a warmth within from a fine vintage malt I have just quaffed and I am settled by the crackling of an open fire but I feel at odds again with the government. And more specifically their inability to take or listen to any advice.
As Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs member Marion Walker decides to do the long walk in protest, Alan Johnson MP is given yet another headache.
Now, dear old Alan has set his stall out on the fact that the scientific fraternity are opinionating against government policy and hence undermining the government. To keep a stable government dissent must be dealt with quickly. However, when government policy is proven wrong by the scientific fraternity what can one do, to U Turn would be catastrophic for Alan Johnson etal, therefore he has to stand by his decision, even if it is wrong.
I am sure it has ruined his weekend to boot.
