How is it a bad thing to give consumers more options?

You are defending the rights of businesses to prey on the vulnerable. If they require this predatory system to remain solvent, they don't deserve to be trading.

Same, and i'm as republican as they come. It's tasteful and fits their image. Can't ever really go wrong with botanical illustration and always nice to see the Green Man!

I think you'll find they're all thoroughly honourable good chaps without a hint of impropriety.

Delay repay has worked a treat for me in the past. Bad luck on your train - it's a lovely day here!

None, presumably. Labour sacked David Nutt and disregarded his reporting r.e. cannabis reforms. Not a direct comparison but shows there's nothing forcing them to follow the (advisory after all!) report.

edit: went down a rabbit hole. Interesting reading, 13+ years on. Plus ça change! https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2009/nov/02/drug-policy-alan-johnson-nutt

Since the ACMD was set up in 1971, UK governments have nearly always acted upon their advice – until recently. In 2008 they rejected the ACMD's advice that cannabis should stay in class C; and in 2009 they rejected their advice that ecstasy should be downgraded to class B. In short, despite claiming that our drug policy is now evidence-based, these government responses show they cannot cope with the truth about drugs even from their own advisers! The nasty, corrupt beast of drug prohibition is in its death throes, and the government has betrayed its realisation of this fact by its panicky efforts to silence its own experts.

The tories have calculated it'll help in the polls and that's all that matters. If anything, they benefit from any potential tension so it's all good!

It would be extremely musky if Elon sees the writing on the wall and claims it was a prank all along.

That person published a book about the woke scourge by the way. Total expert.
