    Punishing someone for the sins of the son. A party with liberal in its name making hay over prohibition. Pfffffffff

    They're complaining that he hasn't had the good sense to resign as a councillor - and that the Labour party appears be taking no action to force is hand.

    Update: He finally did.

    Why should he have to resign?

    He should have resigned out of common sense, although, being caught smuggling drugs (while in office?) seems to indicate he's somewhat disadvantaged in that sphere. Who wants a councillor who is a convicted criminal?

    Even if we cynically assume that councillors have a tendency towards crime because the office attracts the wrong type of person (so none of them are trustworthy), I'd rather have the criminal whose crimes are a little less sociopathic and who was capable enough not to get caught.

    I'm genuinely curious where on his person he had 2 and a half grands worth of ecstasy, cocaine, ketamine and cannabis stashed.

    The way the police calculate drug costs is bogus.
    He had an oz of mdma, 7g of coke, and 5g of ket.

    I'd say 800 quid from a good dealer, or from any tor website.

    It'snot that much for a group of 6 friends at a messy 4 day festival. It's still a good Baggy of drugs. But still would fit in one hand easily.

    But sharing with mates is still intent to supply.

    More dramatic than necessary as a news article.

    I'm probably more likely to vote for someone who likes a good time!

    If you are elected to be a Councillor you have responsibilities to act as a role model as well as the privileges that go with the job - when such a person’s conduct falls below the standard of behaviour the community has a right to expect they should resign without being asked.

    Is it bad to get off your box at festival, though? :smiley:

    Is it bad to get off your box at a festival, probably the answer would be yes. It seems like drug use is okay while attending a festival, yet if it were to come out that the youths who have caused the mini riot were found to be under the influence of drugs it would be frowned upon.

    I'd love to see people trying to rob a shop on ket and mdma.

    He should also be ejected from the Labour Party for wilfully bringing it (and the council) into disrepute.
