Tim adds: I've seen somewhere that the average annual consumption of opium in the UK in the 1870s/80s was 260 or so doses per capita (man , woman and child): usually in the form of laudanum.

Amanda accuses him (for no particular reason) of wanting to return to Victorian Values. Hmm. So I then follow the link to Eric and he starts off by saying he'd happily legalise all drugs, which were all legal in Victorian times of course. I like it.

It would only detract from her preplanned screed of the day. Fomenting outrage is her schtick. Kudos on your new digs, BTW.

She is everything which is wrong with blogging - gutter blogging. The commenter above uses choice language too but he has a brain. Tim adds: No James, I'm making fun of her.

I see, from the subsequent comment, that the lefties even have an unpleasant gay equivalent for the phrase "Uncle Tom". That’s some good work there.
