A reflection on Chris Davies' drugs policy by Simon Davey, as appearing in 'Liberator' Sept 2005.

I write to you in the wake of comments by Chris Davies, Member of the European Parliament for the north-west of England and the former Scottish Procurator Fiscal David Hingston, who have called for all drugs to be legalised. They have inevitably faced criticism for expressing these views, but I fully and openly support them. I share their views because the current war on drugs is ineffective and is harming drugs users and the wider communities. I have set out below my arguments and hope it goes some way to fuelling debate on this thorny but immensely important issue.

Political cowardice on A-levels is a betrayal of future generations

Commenting on today's A-level results, Liberal Democrat Shadow Education Secretary, Edward Davey MP said "Labour's political cowardice on A-level reform is a betrayal of future generations and will hit Britain's ability to compete. Today let's celebrate success and congratulate the students and their teachers on their achievements. There are many reasons for these better grades, but the most important are hard work and better teaching."

Government should abandon ID Card plans

The government has admitted that it has been guilty of "overselling" the case for a compulsory national identity card scheme in Britain and conceded that it will not prove a panacea for fraud, terrorism or the abuse of public services.
