LONDON (Reuters) - Michael Gove, a leading contender to replace British Prime Minister Theresa May, said he had used cocaine and has “deep regrets” about taking the drug on several occasions.

The Daily Mail on Friday quoted Gove as saying he had taken the drug at social gatherings when he was a young journalist

“It was a mistake. I look back and I think I wish I hadn’t done that,” he said. “It was 20 years ago and yes, it was a mistake. But I don’t believe that past mistakes disqualify you.”

IMHO when you consider the misery and suffering the cocaine trade causes, buying cocaine and putting money in the pocket of cartels is no better than consuming child porn. Its basically the same principle. You are pursuing a selfish, hedonistic thrill and putting money in the pockets of evil scumbags who bring nothing but misery and suffering to their victims.

He is a disgrace and should quit.

You are pursuing a selfish, hedonistic thrill...

You ever drink? Or gamble? Eat indulgent food? If you ever had sex did you make sure you didn’t enjoy it?

If you drink, you’re supporting an operation that leads to DWIs resulting in deaths, alcoholism resulting in families ruined.

If you gamble, you’re supporting an industry that destroys many lives each year.

Food companies don’t give a s..t about what they put in food even as it suckers kids with commercials and food stuffed with addictive additives that are known to cause cancer?

Do you believe cigarette company execs should be in prison? They are FAR WORSE than many gangsters at destroying lives.

SMH

Where do you people come from?

I did too many illegal things to count in my past and I am sorry about all of them.

But that’ll be the day when I’d apologize to holier than thou people like you.

he had taken the drug at social gatherings when he was a young journalist P> A journalist with a history of drugs. Surely the UK can do better.

I didn’t realise the brewing or junk food industries funded armies of thugs to buy the weapons they use to slaughter entire passanger busses full of civilians in order to assert their dominance, or burn the kids of their rivals alive in order to muscle in on their market.

This is what you are funding when you buy cocaine.
