Thanks. I like to think that intelligent people trust folk who have dedicated years of robust research to a topic over misplaced notions of 'common sense' and civil obedience.

Cat I'm not arguing that decriminalisation would be a bad ( or even good ) thing. But I do take issue with the statement that laws are not absolutes.
You cannot cherrypick which laws you are going to obey and which not.
Yes, it's good that the laws on homosexuality and marital rape have changed. If you want the posession, sale and use of narcotics to be decriminalised, lobby your MP.
Until then, obey the law or take the consequences.

That carries the implication that in the past gay people should have refrained from having sexual relations with people of the same sex because otherwise they would be cherrypicking. Am I correct in assuming this is something you supported?

I supported the law as it stood, but I thought it needed to be changed.

How bizarre. If everybody accepted the status quo, nothing would ever change. Law and society would stagnate if it weren't for dissent. If gay people had avoided having relations, the laws would never have been challenged.

Did you miss the bit where I said " I thought it needed to be changed. " ? Maybe I should have added " I agitated for change "

Thinking something should be changed does nothing, if people obey all the time there is no reason to change anything because people are obeying.

I'm here, on the big community forum, forums are the place to engage people, meeting in parks only work in the summer, everyone knows that right ?

Obviously any promotions or advertising of any kind of drug, booze or form of gambling that any child could see, should never happen. I just see this as a really poor and expensive way at regulating a massive industry which we have effectively given to criminals.

Hi FPR, i think you make some interesting points but until the revolution comes :0) most of us are glad the police are finally trying to do something about this unpleasant group of dealers. As for John McMullan's tweet.....
'How do the community know they're drug dealers? I guess I'm just not cool enough to be offered drugs in the street.'
Everyone in London knows they're drug dealers, and so do you John, so why you're saying we might all be wrong is baffling.

Personally I would prefer a huge chunk of our national debt paid off and York stone down green lanes and more jobs for our youth but if we are happy to pay for the policing of the black market whilst the mafia enjoy a monopoly to supply recreational drugs to consenting adults, hey ho.

"Obviously any promotions or advertising of any kind of drug, booze or form of gambling that any child could see, should never happen."
This happens in a fricken park FPR, and the main drug dealing spot is next to a basket ball court which is often full of kids and accross the road from a child's nursery.
Do you still want York paving stones for Green Lanes? Too much wacky tobacky I'd say...
