criticising socialist 'new' labour lies is just not on....

free speech is restricted to government fools and liars...
    how else could this incompetent government operate?

another scientific advisor resigns....



http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/nov/01/drug-adviser-les-king-quits
A member of the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs has resigned
in protest at the government's treatment of its head, who was forced
to step down last week after saying that cannabis was less harmful
than alcohol or nicotine.

Professor David Nutt's comments last week led the home secretary, Alan
Johnson, to call on him to resign. Today, Dr Les King told the BBC
that he had decided to step down because he felt Johnson had denied
Nutt's "freedom of expression".

Nutt also incurred the wrath of ministers when he claimed that
cannabis had been upgraded to class B against scientific evidence and
for political reasons.

Johnson said today that he respected Nutt's views but the adviser had
"crossed the line".

"The UK government has denied troops in Afghanistan are not properly
equipped after it emerged a British officer criticised supplies before
his death."
....
"Mr Rammell told the BBC that advice from the military was that troops
did have enough helicopters for the Afghan campaign."

even a labour labour peer...and top scientist, getting pissed with
    'new' labour

"Labour peer Lord Robert Winston added that said he was "disappointed"
about the treatment of Professor Nutt, claiming it showed a lack of
scientific understanding.

Lord Winston warned that the Government would be ignored if it gave
advice to the public that did not take account of scientists' opinions
and said Prof Nutt had made a "very reasonable" point about the
relative dangers of illegal and legal drugs.

He told BBC Radio 4's The World This Weekend he was "very surprised
and disappointed" by Mr Johnson's actions.
