There are only victims in this story, which the Sun will not let be.
A Peer, who no doubt thought that his continued debauchery would be funded by the tax payer indefinitely; plus a couple of prostitutes and a coke dealer that have all lost a good client.
No one has won through this exposé – all are losers.
jno......possession of cocaine, a Class A drug, is an offence, as well as a pretty stupid habit to develop, so I am unsure how its active use can be disassociated from its possession.
There is no doubt in my mind that this tw6t is guilty of, at least, a criminal offence.
Elton John, long ago admitted that he has taken mountains of cocaine; admittedly self-funded and I doubt he was snorting it off the naked breasts of prostitutes (good luck to him if he did). And no-one seems to think anything worse of him.
Yet a Peer chooses to indulge in partaking of coke, paid for out of the money he has been given by you and me (to do with as he pleases), and everyone is up in-arms condemning his behavior – double standards me thinks.
