The question is why was it not find in previous regular sweeps of his home - suggests it was a more recent stash.

Oh well. I can't somehow imagine John Read as a crazed druggie and probably he is quite innocent.
Nevertheless, as a New Labour minister, I feel he is morally guilty and should have been imprisoned for life. If these police are doing these regular sweeps (for what exactly, bombs? bugs?) you would think that one of them would have the initiative to plant something. The police get more and more useless at doing their real jobs.bloggoth

I see this becoming a real storm in a tea cup during the week as everyone tries to take political advantage of Reids addiction!

Absolutely Nothing....Say it again.....huh......der..der...der....What is John Reid good at?
John Reid.....What is he good for.....Absolutely Nothing.....huh...Say it again.....Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

"The substance found weighed less than one gram with a street value of approximately 85p."
The BBC's political correspondent Mark Saunders said the drugs were thought to have been found while Mr Reid was on an official visit to Afghanistan to visit British troops.
Afghanistan duty free eh?
