Some of us have killed that thread - thankfully by the sound of it.

Yes. But the UK media don't seem to have realised, and our government craps itself whenever the
roads lobby waves its [censored].

Yep. Along with various Anorak threads. And this one if and when it grows into a clone of the
other one ...

Hmm...I was thinking it was a bit quiet around here. I was blissfully unaware there was some huge
discussion about speed cameras going on.

It's Latin for 'have no effect on accident rates but are there only to raise revenue'.

LOL,you realise you are risking starting it all again.

BTW what about legalising cannabis? No, no, only joking!

I'll put my right-wing libertarian hat on once again and say that I'm all for it. (And for the
legal, licensed sale of most other drugs as well).

By licensing its sale, and taxing it of course, you at a stroke reduce crime, and increase revenue
for the state.

Now when will the Tories or the so-called Liberals start realising that this might be a good idea?

There are many arguments in favour, and very few against, the main one being 'drugs are bad for
you', as if outlawing them has led to any sort of reduction in their use.

The classic argument that smoking cannabis leads to taking hard drugs is really stupid if you
bother to stop and think about it. The reason it leads to hard drugs is obvious, since it's illegal
you can only get it from drug dealers, and hence you get offered other drugs. If cannabis were
available from shops (off licences? supermarkets?) you wouldn't have to get it from dealers and
hence wouldn't be offered hard drugs.

Dreadfully off-topic but I agree, and I'm certainly not a drug user! (Nor even a smoker)

I'm afraid such a libertarian argument isn't likely to go down well in Blair's Britain though.

That'll be why my caffiene addiction hasn't led to ... er, what are all these empty bottles

It roughly translates as ‘A man with his head buried in the sand can only talk out of his
