Oops
I am told that the packed press conference with Conservative AM, William Graham, and Lemmy of Motorhead on the subject of drugs did not quite go according to plan this afternoon. My spies reported great excitement amongst the gathered masses, which included the Conservative's Assembly Leader, as William Graham introduced the star guest. Words of wisdom were expected condemning the drug culture and urging young people to abstain from the many substances on offer.
Imagine the embarrassment felt by William and his Tory colleagues therefore, when Lemmy told his audience that he believed that heroin should be legalised. Somebody had clearly forgotten to check what he was going to say. Still, it is good that the Conservatives have shown themselves open to new approaches. I am not sure what William's party members in leafy Monmouthshire will say though.

I had to depend on spies because I was in a meeting in Swansea at the time. I never doubted that the message was that drugs kill however I doubt if William Graham would agree that legalisation should be considered because the current law is inadequate. I should think that he would believe that legalisation would lead to deaths as well. That may not be the case but then that is not the point.
The point of this posting was not to discuss the efficacy of Lemmy's view, but to draw attention to the embarrassment that this caused to his host. It seems that the media agree with me that this was the story as well, and they were there!

I don't know if Lemmy is right or wrong either but I agree he is worth listening too. That should not stop me having a bit of fun at William Graham's expense. All the serious stuff is on my main website I am afraid.
