Gove "ashamed" Of Cocaine Use
61 Answers
Major news topic. Sky's New Preview discussing it now.
I, as a young man, could - under pressure - give you a very long list of juvenile and older misdemeanours. (Most, but not all, would be matters of embarrassment, rather than "shame").
Gove should be repenting, not his occasional cocaine use, bu his moral cowardice in renouncing Brexit.

he's a hypocrite and proud of it.
It has also emerged that in 1999 he wrote an article in the Times setting out why he opposed what he called “London’s liberal consensus” on loosening rules on the use of cocaine and other drugs. In the piece headlined “when it’s right to be a hypocrite” he set out why he believed drugs laws should not be repealed.
“The knowledge that millennial demand for illegal drugs may lead to the potentially lethal adulteration of some substances hasn’t been used to explain to citizens that the law is there for a purpose,” he wrote.
“Instead it’s been acknowledged that some people feel they have to see in the new millennium in an altered state, so we’ve been given advice on how to ‘minimise’ risk.”
He stated that middle-class professionals were pushing to liberalise drugs laws to deal with their own guilt over taking drugs, adding: “There is a greater sin than hypocrisy. It is the refusal to uphold values because one may oneself have fallen short of them.”

Gove has 'got in first' because the soon-to-be-published biography of him mentions his drug use.
As jno has pointed out, the real issue is that journalists will be trawling back through anything he has ever said against Class A drugs, and beating him over the integrity with it.
I suppose there is one by-product - it makes him look a bit more racy than usual, I always think he still looks like the kid who is absolutely going to have his dinner money robbed in the yard again.
