It is, has not been and should never be any of my business.<br /><br />It's only when I see the party leader suggesting I might be involved in illegal drug production that I feel the need to comment at all.Leg-ironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04932361799889315359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-70899000569701693812011-05-14T02:13:41.215+01:002011-05-14T02:13:41.215+01:00For what it's worth, I am a member of the Part...For what it's worth, I am a member of the Party, and I've found the London (or rather South East) members to be a really good bunch of people.<br /><br />I don't know any of the people in this dispute, and it all seems very personal, i.e. individual people falling out. <br /><br />It may well be the death of the Party, but if so, the blame must be spread more widely than the little circle at the centre. There's no handbook teaching how to set up a party, and I think too many people joined but didn't realise that they would need to build the thing themselves, expecting that it would happen of its own accord, perhaps.<br /><br />I'm not having a dig at anyone, especially those who were never members.

People have been arrested for harmless comments in this country as a matter of routine in recent times. Since the police are no doubt all too aware of the general Libertarian stance on drugs, a remark like that could be all the trigger they need.<br /><br />They won't find any drugs here but they'd wreck my greenhouse and destroy all my plants while looking.<br /><br />They'd also seize my computer (they always do) and although it contains nothing illegal at all, it's the principal tool of my job so having that nicked would be a serious blow.<br /><br />It could well have been a throwaway remark, not intended to be serious, but in the current climate, careless talk costs livelihoods.Leg-ironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04932361799889315359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-38750824810375720452011-05-13T22:03:07.294+01:002011-05-13T22:03:07.294+01:00How's yer plants doing now, LI?
