Jesus wept
Another post with a political bent (well, slagging off a politician anyway). I’m not courting the attention of IrishElection.com with this (unless there’s some money in it of course - under the table, mind. We’ll consider it a dig-out and why not? I’m poverty stricken compared to other bloggers with their yachts and houses and all their free tea).
Anyway, if the media is to be believed, and I can’t think why would they lie or exaggerate, there is (cue scary music and maybe some thunder) a COCAINE EPIDEMIC sweeping this, otherwise temperate and abstinent, country of ours. Yes, we live in a ‘drug culture’. This insidious drug is everywhere. Oh lordy, won’t someone please think of the children?
Now, it seems clear that there are those among the public that get swept up in what they read in the papers on the way to the footie results or whatever and this means that it is necessary for responsible, god-fearing, dealer-fearing politicians to make some show of placating them. True to form, it seems that Bertox has the answer to the (dahnn dahnn daaaahhhhnnnn) COCAINE EPIDEMIC.
It is… have the police raid ‘house parties’.
For Christ’s sake. That’s what he’s come up with? I know that his attention is probably diverted thinking of lies to cover up the lies he told earlier but, house parties? He says, “The question I have asked more than once in the past week is why don’t gardai go into house parties where people are using cocaine.” What? I mean, what?
Now, I’m not saying that people round here don’t do coke. There are probably people coked off their faces as I write this. I’m also not saying that people don’t do coke at house parties because they do but a ‘house party’ does not a drugs den make. Having his political knee-jerk kick in the doors of people having a few beers in their homes isn’t going to solve the problem. Bock, as always, has some reasoned thoughts about that and he’ll express them better that I. I’m really happier when I’m slagging people off than when I’m finding solutions.
You great moron, Bertie.
