Quote of the week 8 June, 2007

Sir Bill Morris former leader of the T&G union I man I have little in common with but much respect for, said yesterday in Parliament “experience will have taught us that you cannot reclassify cannabis, expand the licensing hours for out of hour’s alcohol consumption, expand the numbers of gambling casinos, and then expect crime to fall. That my lords is a policy for an other planet.” One could have been forgiven for forgetting this came from Mr. Blair’s favoured union leader during most of his decade in number 10.
