Amy Winehouse's dad warns MPs alcohol can lead to heroin and cocaine. My thanks to the Daily Mirror for this fascinating insight.

Only a few months ago, the government was given some advice about drug policy by a team of scientists, and immediately announced they knew much better, thank you very much, and did the opposite. Well, they were only scientists...

But now that a cab driver has spoken (over his shoulder, I assume) to them, they will immediately rush into some kind of knee jerk legislation, and raise the price of Rioja to protect me from heroin and cocaine.

And Call-me-dave Cameron will leap on the bandwagon and announce something even more draconian after even less thought.

Or am I getting a tad cynical?

This song is "Heroin and Hashish" sung by Stelios Perpiniadis, ages ago in Greece.
