According to the headline of today’s SUN, glimpsed in the newsagent’s at Cromford as I picked up my Telegraph, Junkie Amy Whinehouse has been let off from possession of Class A drugs. What a surprise!
And what sort of a message does this send? Is it likely to persuade her to seek the help she needs? I doubt it.
Is it going to hammer home to those impressionable young people likely to emulate her lifestyle that drugs are not a good idea? Certainly not, rather it will give the contrary impression, that doing what you want and to hell with the law has now been given official approval.
Given the absence of any meaningful drug rehab programme, a spell inside might have just done the above. Instead she has been given the green light to continue destroying her life.
But then again, with a Government happy to have a self confessed Pot Head as Home Secretary, what do we expect?
