Ed Miliband, the Labour leader, said today that the legalisation of drugs would send out “the wrong message” to young people as he distanced himself from a Labour backbencher’s calls for a “grown-up debate” on the issue.

Bob Ainsworth, the MP for Coventry North East, who previously served as a drugs minister in the Home Office and as defence secretary, has claimed that the war on drugs has been “nothing short of a disaster” and that it was time to study other options, including decriminalising possession of drugs and legally regulating their production and supply.

Two things.

1. Another politician speaks sense AFTER leaving Government.
2. What’s the wrong message Ed? You young people aren’t to be trusted. We know better. Now, go drink yourself under the table, smoke your little lungs out.
