1. The Travel/Roads update guy just pronounced the word "Barnsley" as though he was doing a Geoff Boycott impression.
2. Olly's enthusiasm for the current topic is 5% greater than is appropriate (in my opinion). ![]() Other than that, I have absolutely nothing to say. |

Nick Abbot had a couple of very odd callers to start his show off tonight. Apparently, Obama is trying to incite riots in order to invoke laws that would allow him to remain as president and postpone the election....!

Steve's second hour is so far a repeat of his first hour - Madonna, the Beckhams and a paedophile rapper.

Listened for the first time in ages and enjoyed his take on Trump. He does seem to attract the slightly odd fringe of callers. There was one very excitable Trump fan who insisted Trump was a poor boy made good and refused to believe he had a millionaire father.
There's some stat out there saying that Trump isn't such a great businessman, and would have made more from his original inheritance if he'd just stuck it in a standard savings account. |

Yay! C in CE giving us her views on cannabis. Must say I'm with her on this. It's naive to believe that legalising it would drive it off the streets.

Very difficult issue. Instinctively, I'm anti-drug, but the arguments in favour of legalisation can be quite powerful. I don't see much difference between having legal alcohol and nicotine, but not cannabis. And it would save money fighting a war they can never win. |

Yes, I think that was his first caller, Rajeev (?).
There's some stat out there saying that Trump isn't such a great businessman, and would have made more from his original inheritance if he'd just stuck it in a standard savings account. There was a great article in the NY Times a while back which had a figure of how many Mexicans had worked in his various schemes in the last twenty years. Was in the hundreds of thousands. Can you imagine what a Dial the Donald section on the Nick Ferrari show would be like? |

Lots confused thinking on Stig this morning over the subject of legalising cannabis.
The main argument was about the tax money it would produce, hmm yes money before health. Another argument was that people do it anyway, hmm yes good idea, why not legalise other illegal activities that people do anyway. A particularly confused caller justified his cannabis use because his doctor said it was helping his depression, but he also added "I never believe anything a doctor tells me". |

You are right in what you say about Trump and his starting money which Pa Trump gave him. If you add in his various bankruptcies and the cost to his unpaid creditors then his business record is far from perfect.

Presumably it would be sold under the same kind of license as tobacco and alcohol; it will be illegal to sell it to under-18s. That leaves a hell of a big market for illegal trading and could possibly lead to even more targeting of schools. And a caller made a very good point in that, as with tobacco, the Government will over-tax it so that it will always be cheaper on the street.

Maintainin the status quo will ensure that a career dealing drugs is a viable and lucrative option for many. |

It also means that police time and resources would be available to target specific areas. ATM because there is so much trade in drugs the sentences for supply are almost non existant. Under new legislation supply would carry a much stiffer sentence

The advantage of licensed dispensary schemes I guess is that proper health information could be provided in the dispensary. Many people are unaware of the mental illnesses that even light 'recreational' use creates 20 or 30 years down the line - schizophrenia, paranoia , depression, mood disorders etc. There are apparently 1500 such dispensaries in LA and the opportunity to provide health information was the main motivation for the scheme.
Just Say No and drugs cars and the war on drugs have been spectacular failures. |

I can't see it ever happening. After successive governments demonising the use of tobacco, I can't imagine one giving the thumbs up to something else we can stick in our mouths, set light to and inhale.
