      I like the idea of just pop into the corner shop to get some milk and a spliff. Seems very civilised.

    But I’m sure the new tobacco will be a huge success!

      Apparently few and few people are smoking anyway so it actually might work. But only because everyone has decided that they don’t want to smoke not because of anything the government’s doing.

      It will be. Only the most determined of imbeciles will begin smoking if they can’t get a regular supply.

    The hell is a mini-mart? It’s a corner shop, we can stop with the Americanisms thank you.

    “We can’t restore our High Streets unless we take out the cancer of organised crime,” says Liam Byrne, chair of the Business and Trade Committee.

    But you can’t get rid of organised crime while also gifting organised crime £11+ billion per year through drug prohibition.
