Spot the irony

See if you can spot the irony in this quote from "Dads Against Drugs" founder Rob Broomfield:


“Drugs are dangerous. There is no straightforward, simple answer.”

Mark - allow me to ask you a question?

Are more and more people coming to this issue and concluding that prohibition has got to end?

I get the feeling they are....

Good stuff. Unfortunately I still think there are a hard core of people who don't give a flying toss, they will support prohibition at all costs, and it is one of the shames of our government that they will not challenge this "thinking" despite the fact that both wings of the coalition have very senior membeers who are in agreement with the above report, as do Labour.
