Sadly

This is entirely normal.

Politicians soon become so satisfied with their own adequacy that they believe themselves to be more authoritative than those experts that are employed to advise them, in matters scientific, defense, security and legal.

Silly politician, you are not an expert, you are not even qualified to have a proper job!

it's the only outlet politicians have for I-think-my-own-thoughts - normally they just get told what to think by mandarins

I don't think it's that at all

I think it's down to the government not wanting to take on unpopular scientific opinion.

At the end of the day, most the beer-guzzling, fag-smoking masses believe drugs are bad and wrong.
If the governemnt makes proposals based on scientific evidence to the contrary, the public will desert them.

And I fear in this instance, a lot of the public feel that Dr Nutt doesn't know what he's talking about. Science or no science.

They think "New labour Fucks Up Again"

while keeping very schtum about they think about Dr Nutt's findings, which they probably disagree with, but they won't say that
