Should be fired.

Got a mate who sells it to doctors and lawyers. I've known a few professionals on it. Less dangerous than booze according to David Nutt and I'm sure you agree with him.

His behaviour might not benefit him but he can either do his job or he can't. The proof is in the pudding. How does firing him as a result of the tabloids 'exposing' him help anyone? Edited by Steptoe (31 May 2015 11.02pm)

He's an advisor to a government who say they want to outlaw all psychoactive substances. Yet he's smoking crack, which is already a class A drug. Doesn't show tremendously good judgement on his part and is hugely hypocritical. Whatever you think about this government's economic policy, having a crackhead advising on it doesn't seem like the greatest plan ever devised. And it doesn't reflect well on whoever appointed him as an advisor in the first place. Could it have been alleged former cokehead George Osborne? He'll have to go if it's true, just like the Co-op bloke, I forget his name, who was caught in a very similar crackhouse sting not long ago.

I think he'll have to go, but that's just another pointless event created by the absurdity of the UK Drug Policy.

Of course he should go. So its not freedom of expression and personal choice? I thought it wasn't your belief that the state should be intervening in the choices of individuals and businesses. If its outside work and isn't affecting his daily work, surely its up to him? Even if its ill advised, somewhat dangerous and addictive (not really a problem on his income).

Freedom of expression and personal choice within the law of course, as you well know. You think taking crack cocaine would not affect his daily work? When taking the crack, he was in possession of a Class A drug - a criminal offence. Just shows how low society has sunk when people are saying he does not need to resign.
