If he wants scientific advisers to say what he wants he should just pop them in room 101.

Re: "I cannot have public confusion between scientific advice and policy"

It's the governments right to reject information which they feel undermines their stance, cannabis destroys families, distorts young minds and rapes otters. Think about that next time you're skinning down a reefdooby.

Re: "I cannot have public confusion between scientific advice and policy"

A total farce.

"How dare you reveal scientific discoveries, with evidence, we want you to say something else instead".

Fucking idiots.

Re: "I cannot have public confusion between scientific advice and policy"

Another one has gone.

Quote:
Government drug advisor Les King quits in protest

A prominent member of the government’s drugs advisory panel has resigned in protest over the treatment of the committee’s chairman Professor David Nutt.

Dr Les King said Home Secretary Alan Johnson had denied Prof Nutt his right to free speech when he called for his resignation.

Mr Johnson said he had “lost confidence” in Prof Nutt’s ability to give impartial advice after the chairman of the Home Office’s Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs criticised the Government.

“He (Prof Nutt) may be an advisor but he’s still got the right to say what he likes. That was being denied,” Dr King said today.
Good on them.

You're behind Gill! He was the first to resign today - a second has gone now.

Oh well, I wonder if their replacements will advise the exact same as they did. Now that would be funny.

I think you're overlooking the most important thing there. That guy is called Prof. Nutt.

Nutt is considering setting up an independent drug advisery body. It was in yesterdays Guardian.
