Priti, Anne & now Kit …. who’s next we wonder?
The Mail (they love this story!)
Policing Minister Kit Malthouse has slammed London mayor Sadiq Khan for his plans to legalise cannabis.
Mr Malthouse said the Mayor of London’s review into cannabis legislation and his photoshoot at a Californian weed farm was ‘baffling’ – linking it with knife crime in the capital.
Mr Khan used a trip to America to renew his calls for cannabis to be legalised in the UK – stating his intention to further decriminalise the Class B drug.
We wonder if these politicians can hear themselves. We presume they can and we have to just conclude that they see political mileage in maintaining the status quo with cannabis as some sort of torture for Londoners.
“Writing In The Sun” says it all really
Writing in the Sun, Mr Malthouse wrote: ‘Knife crime cuts too many lives short – often young kids – and leaves a trail of broken hearts behind.
‘I continue to push the police to be even more dogged in fighting knife crime
‘So we are giving them more powers and resources to track down those known to have carried previously.
‘But we cannot ignore the intrinsic link between this violence and drugs.
‘Almost 50% of murders are linked to drugs in some way.
‘So I find it baffling that just last week, the Mayor of London thought it appropriate to stage a photoshoot in a cannabis farm in LA, to reiterate his support for the legalisation of this entry level drug.
‘I profoundly wish he would focus on knife crime and violence taking place in the capital instead.’
