I tend to agree, but there

I tend to agree, but there is just a hint of a feeling that he's been targetted. Once I did wonder whether he and Kate would be for cocaine what the Stones were for cannabis. Hoever, he is such an idiot that nbody would want him now as some "champion" of drug culture.

I am more of the opinion that if he wasn't a Rock Star he would have been in jail long ago. I cannot beleive how many time he has been arrested. he is a serial repeat offender and jail is the place for him.

Now I am sure I will be told I am a bad liberal for saying that, but if someone repeatedly breaks the law, then they have to face the consequences. Lots of druggies cannot afford rehab. he can, and he chooses not to do it.

So, he's back in the news again. I was amused a few weeks ago to see a regular sketch in a comedy show (was it the new Harry Enfield one, I can't remember?) where every time there is a Metropolitan Police press conference they give figures on the amount of officer time they've spent arresting Pete Doherty.

And it is a bit of a joke. I wonder if any of our MPs (or perhaps our putative mayoral candidate) might take up the idea and see if the Metropolitan Police could produce figures for just how much the police and courts service have spent hounding this pathetic specimen?

Was this sort of thing what Sir Iain Blair meant when he said he wanted to go after the "dinner party cocaine set"? I have to say I always assumed that was aimed at former Bullingdon Club members in glittering Notting Hill and similar socialite snorters.
