where were you when you found out david cameron hosed a dead pig

I saw one of my friends post "just look at the Daily Mail front cover" on Facebook, tracked it down and started cackling. Was just about to leave the house when I ran into one of my housemates, who seemed to be enjoying today like it was a typical Monday:

:coolspot: "Have you seen the Internet yet?"

The Mirror posted:

The first involves a close relative of Cameron's whose life was once threatened by serious drug addiction. The problem was so personal to the young MP that he campaigned hard for major reforms.

He became patron of a drug rehab charity. He argued for safe injecting rooms for heroin users. He called for “radical options” on the wholesale decriminalisation of cannabis.

At one point Cameron abandoned the party line and made a “virtuoso” and heartfelt speech about ending the war on drugs entirely.

He truly and deeply cared. Then, as Prime Minister, he didn’t.

Despite five years of Lib Dem support when drug reform would have been easiest, he didn’t do any.

Now with a Parliamentary majority, it’s further off his agenda than helping hungry wolves with asthma.
This is hardly unique to Cameron, unfortunately. Drug policy and anti-prohibitionist organizations are full of 'ex-President' and 'former Chief of Police' and 'retired MP' spokespersons, and very light on serving ones. Likewise there are plenty of people who take the 'radical' anti-prohibition line until they get into a position of power. Why is that?

It's possibly the same as the argument that so many Home Secretaries become authoritarian borderline fascists, because they gain access to secret information about how many monsters there really are in the abyss. But if that were the case there wouldn't be so many speaking out against the whole mess the minute that they retire. So it must be something else? Threats to reveal dirt about prior drug use? Those are all out in the open for many leaders, and the public don't seem to care. The easiest explanation I can think of is that somewhere in the political machine makes way too much money from the War on Drugs, or that some of the organized criminal operations have their tendrils deep inside the apparatus of national security, neither of which are comforting.

There was a column in the FT last week saying that Cameron could turn up to Parliament in full Bullingdon Club tails to announce the sale of Great Ormond Street to a consortium led by ExxonMobil and still beat Jeremy Corbyn in an election.

I'm wondering if this whole thing is a bet to show how far along those lines they can actually get away with going.

The other, much more likely possibility is that being tough on crime and locking up all the junkie scum plays really well with voters. Even people who've been drug users in the past often prefer to vote for the hard-line, lock-em-up, forever drug war bullshit once they have kids and 9-to-5 jobs and mortgages. Once you're a sitting politician there's not much you can do about that, the people demand hard justice. It's only once you're out you can admit it's all bullshit.

The train of thought where you can be 'tough on crime' by cooking up new crimes to be tough on, regardless of the scale of their real social effects, is completely alien to me. Like, if someone ran on a platform of "we will hang all non-aristocratic child molesters and use corporal punishment against shoplifters" I could see where they were coming from. I would completely disagree with their conclusion and would point to the negative results that such things bring, along with the moral lines in allowing the state to injure and kill people, but I could see why they might see it as tough on crime. The idea of saying "we will be tough on crime by adding a bunch more chemicals to this ever growing list that has never worked" doesn't tell me that they're going to be tough on any actual criminals.

Wait a second, the Elm scandal only broke in 2012, during the time that Operation Yewtree was running. Yet the Met say "The aim is to choose names that are completely neutral so they will hopefully be totally unrelated to the case. This system dates back to the 1980s."
