London
Trying to get people not to use cocaine by making it ethically unexceptable looks like being the governments next anti-drug initative.
I don’t think a campaign showing how the coke trade impacts the life of Colombian peasants will stop the majority of users but it might prick the conscience of a few.
Gordon Taylor, chairman of the Professional Footballers Association, kills me.
Everytime one of his members gets caught out doing something like drugs , drinking driving, assaulting people, sexual assault, he always comes out with the same sob story.
The players are innocent young boys who’ve been led astray and its everyone’s fault except the player involved.
The latest case is Chelsea player Adrian Mutu, who got caught using cocaine and has been fired by the club.
Mutu’s 25 years old, earns about £4 million a year and cost Chelsea almost £16 million to buy from Parma last year.
According to Mutu’s agent and Taylor Chelsea have ‘targeted’ Mutu, and when Mutu got caught out Graham Taylor says Chelsea have a ‘duty of care’ to look after him.
Mutu is supposed to be a professional athlete and is paid a fortune to be so, I don’t see why when he screws up Chelsea aren’t in their rights to get shot of him, to me the people with the duty of care are his money grabing agent and the self serving players union.

As said by BBC “The Professional Footballers Association accused Chelsea of failing in its “duty of care” after they sacked Mutu for his positive test for cocaine.” Its true that only the players are not the guilty wat we see. Infact sometimes they are innocent. Chelsea must be questioned as he should take care of all this.

Just read a comment by Red Ken Livingstone, the mayor of London. He has called a Jewish newspaper reporter a ‘concentration camp guard’ then goes on to make this justification.
“It is the thin end of the wedge when reporters say to me: ‘I’m only doing this because this is my job’,” he said on Tuesday.
“That is the same abdication of moral responsibility, the thin edge of the wedge that in its extreme horrific version that ends up being compared to standing around like a concentration camp guard. You are responsible for your own choices in life.”
I love this sentence [ You are responsible for your own choices in life ]. When did that become part of this cock’s game plan, he has spent his career blaming ’society’ for everything.
Ken Livingstone is a complete weasel. Every time I see that arrogant, vindictive little prick on tv I just can’t believe that the people of London have elected him twice as mayor.
He’s a socialist relic from the 70’s who’s still trying to refight all the battles he lost back then.
Finding a big hole in a toxic waste dump and burying him in it is the best use I can think of for Livingstone.
