How to complain and get your message across to companies, MPs and MEPs

Prof David Nutt is right

Jackie Smith and Gordon Brown did reclassify cannabis for political reasons, there can be no doubt of it. But what do you expect from two people who are so out of touch with reality?

Gordon Brown is like a medieval monarch who never comes into contact with real people so he could never know what they were like. The same for Ms Smith.

If you want to know what happens when something is banned you only have to look to the prohibition era in the US. There you saw what happened when alcohol was banned. Tell me what is the difference between the situation then with alcohol and the situation now with drugs.

Criminal gangs are making fortunes and violence is everywhere. The government keeps drugs banned and criminalises whole swathes of the population for no good reason expect political dogma.

The US realised this and prohibiton ended. It's time the same was applied to drugs, once you have them legalised you can control what happens, more importantly you can TAX them. At a stroke you take away all the problems of Afghanistan because the poppy farmers can legally grow and sell their crops.

Why is it that our politicians can't see this - because their minds are closed!

Guilty until proved otherwise

If you're an adult then in Labour's Britain you are a pedophile, child abuser and worse unless and until you can prove otherwise.

That's the reality of more new restrictive laws that have come into force.

No-one asked for these petty rules and regulations but this is the price of living under Labour.

All of this comes about because of a couple of child murders, regrettable as that is, our government now works on a knee-jerk reaction to everything and a pathalogical need to be seen to be doing something about everything.

The facts are simple and there for anyone to see, 20 children a month killed in accidents in the home, 120 teenagers knifed to death in London in the first 9 months of 2009. A jumbo jet load of people killed in road collisions every month.

With figures like that why is our government wasting our time and money on its vetting and barring organisation?

We are the people of the country are powerless to stop any of this lunacy. When the government trots out their stock phrases like ' encouraging a public debate' and asking for comments on proposals they have no intention of taking any notice. All they want is to be seen to have asked and then they will go on and do whatever it was anyway.

After the MP's expense debacle we were promised different politics, but as they say 'A week is a long time in politics' so most people have already forgotten all about the expenses scandal.
