I couldn’t help noticing yesterday that the fight to ban alcohol and legalise drugs has again been stepped up. The appropriately named Professor David Nutt has stated that alcohol is more harmful than crack cocaine and heroin after another pseudo-scientific ‘study’. This comes after another nutty professor, this time Sir Ian Gilmore, stated in August that cocaine should be legalised, which would ‘drastically reduce crime and improve health.’
The transition from alcohol to drugs as preferred recreational substance has been going on since the 1960s: film and pop stars have openly flaunted their drug habits, making it fashionable; opiates have become readily available to the masses. The decadent classes that made up our poets and actors have always abused opiates, of course, but from the 1960s onwards, it has become part of a cultural revolution. It is no coincidence that this revolution was accompanied by neo-Marxist ideology that sought to turn the entire of Western society on its head.
While drugs have been promoted through the cult of celebrity (and one notes the many drug-users that were knighted and invited to Nº10 Downing Street under New Labour), the sensible use of alcohol has been systematically persecuted. Labour introduced 24-hour drinking and encouraged the transition from drinking in the local pub to going out on binge-drinking sessions in the city centres.
Lets be honest, binge drinking has always gone on, but it has never gone on to such an extent where pubs everywhere are empty during the week and city-centre streets are filled with vomit on a weekend. The state sponsored it with the 24-hour laws, abandonment of the private village landlord and the fostering of big chains of city-centre pubs that offered a whole range of ‘get-drunk-quick’ gimmicks, while simultaneously feigning concern at the escalating problem.
This was the first stage of the plan by our lords and masters: a now familiar pattern of perverting something good or pleasurable (religion and sex being the two most obvious others). The second stage will be its banning. One has only to look at the propaganda we are being force-fed on a daily basis now for proof, for it is the same propaganda we were sold before smoking was banned in public buildings – public houses included. When alcohol is banned, the propaganda will ensure all the liberals will cheer that it is a good thing, that crime will be reduced and the health service will save millions. And another freedom and British tradition will be lost. And one cannot help but notice that this will be another step in the Islamisation of Britain.
In the meantime, the legalisation and promotion of state-controlled opiates is straight out of Aldous Huxley’s dystopian novel Brave New World, where everyone is dependent on the government-issued drug Soma. If everyone is dependent on the state for drugs, the state becomes unassailable and its evil neo-Marxist doctrine unchallengeable. This, of course, will not be found in either Professor Nutt’s or Professor Gilmore’s studies.
