Is there a cellar in the House of Commons? If so, does it have a huge lock and key? If so, why can we not lock all the politicians inside, and sound-proof the building so we cannot hear them mouthing their platitudes?
Would any normal person behave with the stupidity of a politician?
Alan Johnson,www.homeoffice.gov.uk/about-us/.../alan-johnson our mentally retarded Home Secretary, has sacked Professor David Nutt, his Chief Drug Adviser,www.homeoffice.gov.uk/about-us/.../alan-johnson because Professor Nutt www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/.../drugs-adviser-david-nutt-sacked reproved the Home Secretary for “devaluing and distorting” scientific evidence on cannabis in order to justify reclassifying cannabis as Class B, not a Class C, drug – in other words to make out cannabis was more dangerous than the science indicates, for political purposes.
Why do we tolerate scientific illiteracy in our so-called leaders?
Surely, by now we should all be realising that what we need is more science, good science, careful science, and what we need to do is to learn about science so that we can enter the debates with knowledge and concern. Because we can be very sure it won;t be politicians who get us out of the mess we're in. Our only hope is the scientists.
More science: less politics.
Let’s all call for Alan Johnson to retire from politics, and return to working for Royal Mail, where he may well have done a good job.
Politicians, stop messing things up.
