The United Nations wants to jail Amy Wine­house. Oh, and Kate Moss too. They want to see celebri­ties pun­ished more harshly for drug offences, to send a mes­sage to the rest of us.

What the fuck?

Don’t they have more impor­tant things to do at the United Nations? Like bring­ing about world peace, feed­ing the starv­ing, solv­ing cli­mate change? I’d cer­tainly put those three issues ahead of a few spoiled rich peo­ple enjoy­ing a toot or two.

Do peo­ple really think that any­one takes drugs because celebri­ties do? You know, that Pete Doherty smokes crack, maybe I should too? He looks so good on it!

I’m not mak­ing this up, it’s in all the news­pa­pers today and I’ve seen the story on TV too. What a waste of breath, print and air­time! My favourite ver­sion is in today’s SUN NEWSPAPER.

The UN is far too involved in global drug pol­icy and the UN is effec­tively a global spe­cial inter­est group directed by the world’s most pow­er­ful nations.

Peo­ple take drugs because they make them feel good, not because some celebrity enjoys them. No one should be pun­ished for drug use, unless that use causes other prob­lems. I’d have no issues with arrest­ing some­one on smack for run­ning some­one over with their car. If you’re high on H, you shouldn’t be dri­ving, but if you’re high on H at home, it’s nobody’s busi­ness but your own!

If any one organ­i­sa­tion should be advo­cat­ing the full inter­na­tional legal­i­sa­tion of drugs, its the United Nations. They have the sta­tis­tics, they know what a large part of the inter­na­tional econ­omy the drug trade is and they know how it could ben­e­fit from sen­si­ble inter­na­tional con­trols. But will they? Will they, fuck!

No, the UN will remain a largely irrel­e­vant body, unless you believe the con­spir­acy the­o­ries about black heli­copters and world dom­i­na­tion! Trust me, the United Nations could barely organ­ise lunch for 6 peo­ple, I don’t think we have to worry about them try­ing to take over the planet, though if they did, at least we wouldn’t have to worry about career crim­i­nals like Amy Wine­house and Kate Moss roam­ing free!
