Alan Johnson faces drugs row questions

[itsazy]

Who gives a fuck about their opinion or what they think the public opinion is? Listen to the facts... is this really the best we can do in terms of a government?

[Itsmeeman1]

Scientists find Facts!

Politicians LIE! FACT!

[dannystar01]

we always take the addvice,,.. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaah­ahahahaha lol!! DICKHEAD!!!

[xaxie1]

The funny thing is is that even though David Nutt was being overly critical of the government, that does not mean that his views were therefore rubbish and should be scrapped.

From my POV Alan is using this as an excuse to get him fired and ignore all of his claims.

[xaxie1]

Long live David Blunkett and Proffessor Nutt :D

[belfasta]

ALAN JOHNSON is a fucking alcoholic he condemns people with cancer as science has proved cannabis oil cures cancer FACT this alcoholic should be strung up by the balls

[0ct0parr0t]

I don't get it, what does he want? a head bobbing yes man, or an expert?

[castratedcat]

"We have respected the vies of scientists in every aspect of government policy."

Except drugs, of course.

[rinseoutdrycleaner]

how depressing....

cunts

[hashmonster2004]

the drug laws are here by our consent, stop consenting, unjust laws become un-enforceable instantly.

they cant jail us all.

[MrLerv]

i wish this fool gets assassinated

[1818181818p]

the home secretary talks a load of shit

[frostyuk2007]

Government Language Manipulation Warning!!! He claims to disagree with professor Nutt's "VIEW". Classic manipulation of words to push a government agenda of keeping pigs, screws, customs and drug councillors in jobs, all tax taking jobs I might add too. Decades of research has gone into the study of drugs and professor Nutt was sack for presenting " THE FACTS". Leave our bodies alone, we are not your slaves. So repectfully right honourable Alan Johnson, you can go fuck yourself.

[Tomahawk7670]

law????? what a fucking law?? because of this fucking law there are wars and people are dying, what they care about is marujuana how to stop it of makeing it legal,,, i will smoke marijuana and i will smoke my own weed one love one world you can eat my nut whit your laws

[lianap11]

To Alan Johnson, You have a right to your own opinion, but not to your own facts!!

[smudge13uk]

any pot head could run the country better than what we got now lets be honest whats fucking great about britain

[bacon2boy]

So bassicly if you dont agree with them your gonna get sacked...hmmmm remeber that same policy somewere in the 1930's...

[Torchy84]

Everybody in that room needs sacking over paid OAPs . Bring in some younger more broad minded people.

[dovey123456789]

tosser



[marsupialbeige]

If it is your opinion to disagree with the science provided to you by your ADVISORS then why have the council at all? Surely you know best, in fact, let's just do away with the entire medical and scientific establishment altogether and just let PMs decide what is good and bad for us, after all they know best..

[marsupialbeige]

I would like to not resort to swearing, however I and the majority of the country do not give two good shits whether or not you 'share his opinion' isn't that the whole point of him being an ADVISOR? To ADVISE you on a matter which he has solid experience in, and which you have absolutely no scientific or psychiatric background, and therefore, no real right whatsoever to refute his findings..

[TheUnknownGrower]

they should be hung with theyre ties

[101superhans]

this is what that alan johnson has basically done: "professor nutt is speaking the the truth, people might be free? they might realise cannabis is better than tobacco and alcohol, we better shut him up we have a lot invested in these products get rid of him" and that is why alan johnson is a cunt!

[Thewroteboat]

Who gives two damns whether you share his "Views" or not, the simple fact you opinionated, borderline Nazi Moron is that Professor Nutt backs his opinion with solid scientific research. bottom line... I dont give a fuck what your unfounded opinion on how to do MY JOB would be... Much like I dont give a fuck what your unfounded opinion on Nutts professional, researched opinion is.

Ignorant fucking old men, they need to be removed and replaced as they have clearly forgot they are not infallible.

[rickie145]

i love the way the politicians love to just slag each other off and just avoid the actual situation.

[DEC0RAX0]

What a cretinous front bench; Jack Straw, Ed Miliband, Peter Hain, Phil Woolas... All a bunch of fucking crooks, except Miliband who is just an inept bumbling chicken.

[neonbrain333]

who gives a fuck if you dont share his views u twat he's done the research and ur just forcing ur own moral values on the rest of britain. fuckin nazi prick

[RupertWaldron]

someone give this cunt a spliff. he clearly doesn't believe in freedom of speech or your right to protest and lobby the government.

[martynrobin121]

THE GOVERMENT DOES NOT CARE FOR OUR HEALTH!

If they did they would MAKE ALCOHOL ILLEGAL!

Cannabis,Ecstasy,LSD, Does not come close to all the problems ALCOHOL CAUSES Look at alcohols history for thousands of years it caused terrible chaos WERE AS YOU DONT SMOKE WEED AND GO FIGHT PEOPLE OR SMASH THE TOWN UP you smoke you chill and relax

[Asapoo]

Someone should spike them with a E , im sure they would all change there mind

[sammyugxv]

My scrot bag could have a better impact on society than this idiot

[SpaceCake777]

Alan Johnson is a clueless fucktard.

[Wildangelicaz]

Scrap the whole government and start again! Maybe the puplic could have more say who gets to be in the position of running the country... The war on drugs will always be a failure and until we get some intelligent ballsy and worthy candidates to do the right thing, the people will suffer.

[kain8D]

How did Alan Johnson get away with this???

[nibbler032]

who needs science , god made the world, oh shit that means god made drugs.

GOD IS A DRUG DEALER

[rareisalive]

pause at 2.38 and take a look around him.

guy on the left is clueless, he just goes along with WHAT EVER

guy on the right is praticly monitering what he says, making sure its in the best interest of the goverment to keep getting rich

the guy in the brown blaizer has a HUUGE gunt

the guy sitting left of the guy in brown blaizer has a huge gunt but is very small

in otherwords, you don't gota be smart to work in goverment >_>

[phillifighter]

I told me something i dont agree so i fired him??? WHAT THE FUCK?

[zeratul1987]

a view? Thats as dumb as when creationists call evolution "just a theory". Professor Nutts views are based on research and evidence all of which is demonstrable, this senile old farts views are based on the meanderings of his mind on a subject he clearly doesn't understand.

what a nob.

[rastamanspook]

Johnson claims David Nutt should not express his opinion in the manner in which he did. He wouldn't have to protest in this way if he didn't think his expert advice was being treated like an opinion expressed by punters in a pub. The govt. IS NOT LISTENING to the advice of the ACMD and proffessor Nutt is clearly disgusted by it all. How can he say he disagrees with scientific evidence on the relative safety of MDMA it just beggars belief. Keep Fighting

[MegaStoner18]

acid, Es have been proven 2 b safer than drinking. thuis guy knows jack fuck about this i mean david nutt n his team of highly6 traind sientists have sed so wth proof but with evri1els this PRICK can pick the advice as he please all this is so the drugs war is unharmed. David Nut: Years o extensive resaerch n tests. Alan: maybe 1 or 2 lessons back in primary school.

rise HIGH guys n free drugs!

[Greig1424]

Johnson doesn't know what he is talking about

[MrSheepboy]

*** a suit's making up laws based on no fact or even logic whatsoever, and who's decsion gets listened to? SHIT'S INSANE!

[MrSheepboy]

This prick really has it the wrong way around, it's the job of the scientists (or simply the ones with a brain) to advise and share opinion on pure scientific fact and research about any subject, which should lead to the 'government' to listen intentivley to, not some tosser discarding facts for either no reason or political and corporate gains. i mean think about it, you've got a prf. who's spent years and years researching drugs tellin us they seriously need recliassifying and some prick in***

[tigerone1970]

You know there are *4* towns in England called HEMPstead? One in Essex, one in Kent, two in Norfolk and of course there is Hemel Hempstead (which makes it 5).

[liverare]

wht a wanker

[camerasmart]

we hate and complain about the way the world i run, yet no one does anything about it? whats the point in fighting?

[qloudz]

i hope alan johnson dies a slow death. :)

[TheNatho1988]

these guys need a smack in the face ! fucking idiots

[Pwnagemerchant]

what a cunt.. legalise cannabis and ecstasy, drug policy should be evidence and risk based

[2killachav]

fascists!

[RyaannWheatley]

the sooner labour are turfed out for Liberal Democrats the better, the Liberal democrats will let the ACMD take FULL control of drug legislations therefore legalizing cannabis and other SAFE drugs. also this slimeball cunt Alan Johnson needs to realise these aren't opinions, these are FACTS. basically what he's saying is "If he doesn't say what we want he isn't right for the government" Fuck off Alan Johnson and please leave parliament immediatley you complete and utter cunt

[charliemctruth]

"Order ..Order "

The Jew Speaker says "Order Order".

So...carry on gentile .,

Go and vote on May 6th,and bear in mind, every vote you cast, is for a jew funded wannabe (wether they know it or not) ..and whoever gets elected they will all be "Friends of Israel "..

Try asking one of them, when there out kissing infants (legally) .." Why does Israhell have such an influence on Britains foreign policy" ? Here's what they'l say

[rayrayisgod]

vote lib dem!! fuck nana labour

[kaspastarr]

WOW they wont be getting my vote, not with an ignoranus like that in the party,

looks like ill have to vote Lib dem.

64

[tapefilms]

i think alan johnson needs to be shot in the face

[lolxenulol]

wow... Alan Johnson is a complete and utter moron... How can a minister in the suposed mother of democracy, Britain, say that it's wrong for its scientific advisers to criticise the government. Free speech, democracy and science THRIVE off criticism and to deny criticism reminds me of Nazi Germany and Communist Russia. Labour is a pile of crap, and its ministers seem to know nothing about science. Sickening to see this bullshit in our own parliament.

[toweronepower]

Jack straw used to smoke weed all the time

[inselaffe67]

What a fucking tosser his cretin really is....

[karuspery]

He looks like he's chased the dragon a few times.

[tompants2010]

Whos betting he has shares in alcohol sales. The war on drugs is more like a war for these pricks to keep themselves in high standing.

[YeahNigguhhh]

i think alan johnson needs to realise that professor nutt's 'views' aren't just his views. they're the result of years of research and evidence

[adrianbarratt]

yes bring back DB the only labour minister to have true sight

[bongboy6969]

i want david blunkett to be home secretary again...

so the government will listen to scientisits about EVERYTHING, as he stated, except cannabis

what a fuckin coincidence!!!

just fuckin legalise it!

and how dare he say professor nut does not have the right to undermine the government

the idiot government are the ones that are UNDERMINING SCIENCE!!!

wat a fag

[neonbrain333]

@bongboy6969 wat a fag

[xaxie1]

@bongboy6969

Also when drugs were downgraded the amount of Addicts fell and the amount of people seeking advice for help with drugs rose, hmmm sounds odd as to why that was scrapped :P

[iborrada]

Alan Johnson is an invertebrate re:Gary McKinnon - i.e Alan Johnson is a spineless gimp.

[TheVapeApe]

These people have lost all credibility and accountability.

They are not listening to the facts.

Alan Johnson isnt fit to run a soup kitchen.

Complete mental deficient who ignores the science and instead shows he is a prejudiced alcohol drinking twat.

Fact is Cannabis has never killed anyone, its a very safe non toxic substance.

Alcohol ruins life's and can kill you.

People die from alcohol poisoning daily.

[GrEaTeSt786]

i hate this bastard

[MMRLoonie7]

- Don´t be sheep-like geezer.

[MMRLoonie7]

If Gary McKinnon gets sent to the states, I think Europe will almost certainly meltdown. Infact - We know it will.

From a principle perspective, how can the Germans poision our people with Mercury (Aspergers/Autism) and the West does almost nothing, but then go on to throw the book at Gary. - It clearly doesn´t wash.

It´s countdown zum total kreig, Deutscher Kinderschander. ☠

[ziggazaggy]

F@kin Postman Twat !

[paulthebob]

Lamp post and piano wire

[mpat1980]

we need to revolt, its the only way to get the crooked scum out. arm yourselves and bludgen an MP to death if you get the chance

[koorgen]

If I ever got the chance to meet Alan Johnson face to face, I would 1 hit him any day!

[burntrim]

Amen to that brother.

[adrianbarratt]

Ive got a lot of time for postmen they do a good job, unlike this self opinionated tit who needs to be gone

[adrianbarratt]

write to your mp;s and tell them what a twat Johnson is , how dare he tell me what I can and cant do. I'll live with experts views making laws but not this self opinionated tit. And those of you that voted labour in the Glasgow by election want your heads testing

[simonpieparker]

what a fucking prick! how can the goverment get away this?

[erikfern]

go back to posting letters

[Guarding]

This guys a former postman, he's making the claim that Professor Nutt's views on ecstasy and cannabis are his own personal views. His views are not just simply views they are scientific fact. Johnson should go back to posting letters because he has just about the same rights as any other postman to sack scientific advisors IE none. I didn't vote for this guy nor did anyone in the country, get his rosie cheeks out of here.

[hallonolove]

Drug Free World = Scientology

[s6jjy123]

we need to stop paying taxes and paying the way for our own slaughter ... we need to remove the current government and stay away from e.u... we pay these guys and get ***k all in return... now even the nhs is trying to kill us off with lethal injections ... how much more cock can we the British take..take back the power now!!!

[Gbirmz]

confuse the public mind? jesus how stupid do they actually think we are

[Hupuna]

Alan Johnson should smoke some.

[sergiomontes2012]

Just like in the middle ages! They based policy on faith/magic!!!

And that's our government!!!!???

[hallonolove]

This is professor David Nutt v=JM8s0fY7Fuc

Great man!

[paranorma1palace]

yeh just keep hiring proffesors, if they dont tell you what you wanna hear, fire em, just move on till you get a fkin yes man that fits in with your idea of the way things should be and ignores FACTS !! FUCKING MORONS

[hallonolove]

Why do politicians have the right to shut up the scientists?

And the Skunk tactic is fake, Skunk is just a popular strain grown in the UK that is not that powerful compared to other strains. I talk from my experience, had grown Skunk in the past and didn't blow my mind like the Afghani or the Super Silver Haze. Skunk just sounds nasty.

You are free to do what you're told!

[o0BUD720o]

the truth should dictate drug policy, not the whims of some old boys club...

[J05hyyy]

No, he did not confuse his role. A good scientific test will take into account lots of variables. As he was giving advise, he would naturally want to include the implications of the legal frame work and the significant increase of harm caused by government policies on drugs in relation to his work.

An independent body should remain independent without interference (e.g. unlawful sackings).

Remember, Prof. Nutt's views are based on science - Alan Johnson's Views are based on ... well ... nothing.

[adrianbarratt]

Gordon Brown told the drugs advisory panel he had made up his mind and they had to find the evidence to back him up. Cant believe this government has stooped so low . We didnt vote Brown for pm so why is he there telling us how to live. I wish they would just f*** right off

[hallonolove]

the way to happiness = scientology

[hallonolove]

scientology videos talk about "they lied".

this is so ironic!

[Janko1492]

I have a great idea that would end the war in Afghanistan and solve the UK Cash Crisis. Legalise Hashish! Afghan farmers would supply the cannabis and the drug could be produced in the UK. Britain could tax it and sell it in Pharmacies. At the same time, possesion of Skunk or other forms of Cannibas would be illegal with a heavy penalty. Growers or Sellers would get long prison sentences. The Taliban could not compete with the consumer cash generated by the sale of regulated, mild hashish.

[hallonolove]

he just admited in the end that he fired him for criticizing the government. sorry for my english...

P.S. scientologists are behind drugfreeworld

[TheHaightAshbury]

How Dangerous is Marijuana Compared with other Substances? Number of US Deaths:

TOBACCO 340,000 - 450,000

ALCOHOL 150,000+ (Not including 50% of highway deaths and 65% of murders)

ASPIRIN 180 - 1,000+ (Including deliberate overdose)

CAFFEINE 1,000 - 10,000 (stress, ulcers, and triggering irregular heartbeats)

"LEGAL" DRUG OVERDOSE 14,000 - 27,000 (Deliberate or accidental)

ILLICIT DRUG OVERDOSE 3,800 - 5,200 (Deliberate or accidental)

MARIJUANA 0

[hallonolove]

maby the majority of the house dosen't shere the view but the majority of the brits favor legalization of cannabis

[TheHaightAshbury]

Nixon's scientists said the same god damn thing in 1972, marijuana is harlmess and should be legalized!

[hallonolove]

The scientist have a view, the politician has another view.

[hallonolove]

scientists exercise there role with caution = dance to our song or get lost

[hallonolove]

He respects the view of scientists and then he sacks them.

[RobSef6]

He really is an egotistical ignoramous!

Fuck him and his cronies!

[MrPragmatism]

What a disgrace to Democracy and do we need more proof that the Labour Government and the Conservatives are misleading the public intentionally and using the Misuse Of Drugs Act as a political football.

A postman who thinks he knows more than a world reknown expert in neuropsychopharmacology....

Whats next Alan? Is the world also flat?
