Bob Ainsworth

Start 'em young eh?
Bob Ainsworth on drugs, if you see what I mean. He has, as you might expect, great faith in the state. His remedy, giving the control to "doctors and pharmacists", won't make much difference, unless that is, you give the drugs away free. This would mean another 'state benefit' to be paid for by taxpayers. And how popular would that be in the age of the cutbacks? You would have thought that after all these years of 'big state' and its attendant failure that Ainsworth would have known better than to offer this, especially in the age of David Cameron and his Big Society. But then it's hard to kick a habit.
