Alan Johnson gets it badly wrong on drugs !

Yesterday's decision by Alan Johnson to sack the Chair of the Advisory Council on Drugs Misuse is quite frankly bonkers.

Their is little point in the Government having expert advisors if it is going to run rough shot over them and then sack them every time there say something that a Minister does not agree with.

Its rather like going to the going to an A & E department having cut ones finger off asking the doctors what to do about it and when the Doctors offer to sew it back taking the finger and throwing it in the bin.

When decisions are made on a political whims rather than facts makes Governments and the Ministers making the decisions look remote and out of touch with the general population.
