Talking (even more bollocks) About Cannabis
yes folks, we're still at wordpress, this is just a quick (and hopefully the last) crosspost 'cos we'd hate for anyone to miss it:
We’ve been looking for a worthy adversery in the void ever since the Ukippers stopped biting and unfortunately Debra Bell is not one.
That said while she continues to spout unscientific drivel on her lame website we’ll continue to expose her for the ignorant hypocrite she is.
For those who haven’t been paying attention, Debra Bell is a (bored housewife) writer who wrote a diary of her son’s experiences with cannabis to (get her through the grinding monotony of another wasted day) warn other parents about the evils of killer skunk.
Shamefully broadcasting her son’s personal life around the world in a bid to (stave off the feelings of self-doubt and hopelessness) raise awareness about cannabis, Debra has enjoyed a ripple of publicity after the noble drug warriors of the Daily Express took up her plight.
Recently she was asked to speak at the recent ACMD review into cannabis classification and is very clear in her view that cannabis users should face stiffer penalties and that cannabis should be reclassified as a Class B drug.
Debra thinks a criminal record and presumably a spell inside will help kids who get into trouble after toking on too many fat ones.
In her earnest quest for salvation Debra now claims to have set up a charity patroned by tory shadow chief whip Baroness Anelay. However in the small print it becomes clear that she has not set up a charity at all, merely a campaign group.
Debra is soliciting for funds and as her esteemed husband, a barrister, will likely tell her, claiming to be a charity when you are not is a criminal offence.*
We’ve informed the Charity Commission of her actions.
Elsewhere on her site Debra warns that cannabis use can trigger personality change. This seems particularly true in the case of her son, who as we revealed said of his mother:
“Frequently my parents will sit me down and tell me what they think is wrong with me, which is usually considerable. Add to this that my mum is the kind that thinks MSN messenger is ‘disgusting and pornographic’ and when I arrived on my book return day at school wearing irregular trousers, as I had somehow lost my others in a friend’s bedroom she screamed at me in front all my friends.”
William also said that cannabis was something he loved.
Poor William recently appears to have undergone a Damascene conversion and a piece written by William now states his opinion on the evils of Killer Skunk. Interestingly Debra notes in her cannabis diaries:
“I almost wonder now whether he was doing this so that I would agree to give him money.”
For once we wholeheartedly agree, particularly as her diaries reveal William was still using cannabis several weeks later.
Still, this doesn’t stop her from dishonestly using William’s insincere diatribe as propaganda to support her noble cause. After all she’s used every other aspect of her son’s personal life in her campaign which reeks of self-promotion rather than any genuine understanding of the issues.
William’s original statement can still be read here, or here just in case Debra’s getting all deletey on us we’ve kindly reproduced it here.
One thing that has disappeared is the link on the front page of her site to her blog. One of Debra’s posts attracting 34 comments, all but one from other parents and cannabis users pointing out the inaccuracies of her position. Debra is repeatedly asked to defend her position but sadly never does. Instead the blog is disappeared, although not being the sharpest tool she’s only removed the link and the blog still can be read here.
And just in case she decides to delete the blog then lucky void readers can also catch up on the comments here.
So fraudulently claiming to be a charity, exploiting her son’s personal problems to further her own agenda, failure to answer her critics, providing dishonest health advice and attempted censorship seem to be stock in trade for our Debra.
The mental health charities SANE and Rethink, who appear to back her campaign, must be wondering who they’ve got into bed with. So for that matter must be her husband.
*void disclaimer: Talking About Cannabis does not appear on the Charity Commission’s online register and in her campaign notes she talks of forming a ‘company’. If she has in fact establsihed a charity we will of course withdraw our remarks and lobby the Charity Commission as to why it thinks that spreading factually incorrect information about cannabis to the nation’s youth constitutes an identifiable public benefit as required by law.

the void at blogspot is so over.
We're settling in nicely to wordpress: http://johnnyvoid.wordpress.com/
Anything really juicy we'll cross post for now, but really, wordpress is where all the hip kids are at these days.

Seems it was more cock up than conspiracy with us being accused of being a spam blog.
But once bitten and all that, we'll be slowly migrating to wordpress over the next few weeks.

“This blog is in violation of Blogger’s Terms of Service and is currently visible to authors only.”Political censorship? Conspiracy? Cock Up?

Talking (bollocks) About Cannabis
Cannabis campaigners are furious after being snubbed by the current Advisory Council for the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) review into cannabis classification.
The Legalise Cannabis Alliance (LCA) have been denied a speaker and been informed they may only take part in the 45 minute long open forum.
A press release from the LCA states:
“How can this review reflect the “wide range of evidence” that the ACMD seems to be looking for, when not one cannabis users is being given an equal opportunity to those who seek upgrading.”
Prohibitionists SANE as well as the far from sane Debra Bell have all been allotted 20 minute speaking slots.
Debra Bell runs the Talking About Cannabis website, a shambolic and self-indulgent tableau of lies which shrieks it's hysterical distortions with the righteous indigination only the truly middle-class can muster.
In fact, in Debra's evidence to the ACMD she is very clear:
"In the past drug abuse was often seen by the middle classes as something that happens on inner-city sink estates but now drug abuse is affecting everyone; cannabis addiction is spanning the classes. The middle classes have never known such an epidemic, leaving families in their thousands bewildered, afraid, alone and ashamed."
((((the bewildered, afraid, alone and ashamed middle classes)))
Debra got her knickers in a twist because her son 'went off the rails' using cannabis, although from her recent utterances you might ask can you blame him?
Whilst we have every sympathy with parents who's children have developed mental health problems, (whether or not caused by cannabis and this is still far from conclusive) it seems obvious that cannabis is a useful scapegoat.
Any parent who's child who develops problems, is bound to feel an inner sense of guilt, in most cases probably completely undeserved but also completely understandable.
In our experience guilt is one of the prevailing emotions of parenting ... and no-one tells you that when you start out.
Cannabis is a convenient way to emeliorate that guilt and it is no surprise that the voices shouting loudest in this debate are those whose children's lives have not panned out the way they would have liked.
In Hall's case she is particularly appalled that after sending her son to a £15,000 a year private school he still succumbed to the evil weed. Hall wrote a diary of her son's troubles and he indeed seems a troubled young man.
You have to then wonder whether having highly personal details published across the internet and splashed across the pages of the Daily Express is likely to be helpful to a vulnerable, young person?
Hall's son does give his side of the story, parts of which are revealing:
"Frequently my parents will sit me down and tell me what they think is wrong with me, which is usually considerable. Add to this that my mum is the kind that thinks MSN messenger is ‘disgusting and pornographic’ and when I arrived on my book return day at school wearing irregular trousers, as I had somehow lost my others in a friend’s bedroom she screamed at me in front all my friends.
Looking for ways to help your wayward youth? Don’t alienate them and push them away, but if you refuse to make any kind of compromise you are always going to lose."
Hall has no qualifications or experience in the drugs field yet her website still contains a page called Cannabis - the facts written by the ever-unbiased Mary Brett who is the UK spokesman for EURAD (Europe against Drugs).
Reading it is like stepping back 50 years.
A string of unreferenced claims begins with the statement that cannabis is a hallucinogen and a depressent ... neither of which is true.
It then makes the claim that because THC works on neurotransmitters therefore:
"new nerve connections cannot be made properly. Concentration, learning and memory are all badly affected."
She then falsely claims that physical addiction will occur, cannabis users will become violent, impotence and infertility will occur, the immune system will be damaged, you'll go mad and that babies born to cannabis using mothers are smaller, hyperactive, have behaviour and learning problems.
Rubbishing medical cannabis she claims that:
"It all started in 1979 when an American pot smoking lawyer said, 'We will use the medical marijuana argument as a red herring on the road to full legalisation'."
Which is curious given that ayurvedic texts trace medical cannabis back over 3000 years and that any Victorian reference book will reccommend cannabis for a wide range of ailments.
Finally this diatribe of ignorance makes the astounding claim that:
"Few children, using cannabis even occasionally, will achieve their full potential."
Which may come as a surprise to the last two presidents of the USA.
If Hall and her mates think that unsourced bullshit like that appearing on her website in any way strengthens her argument then it is perhaps her is is away with the fairies.
Let's hope that the ACMD, which has some real scientists, will see this puritanical propaganda for what it is.
Finally a reminder that tonight Horizon on the beeb is looking into drugs classification. The programme will focus on research by Professor Nutt, which shows a refreshing new direction but his methodology is a crock of shit ... as we kindly pointed out last year.

Simon Hughes, 'e's still a raver!
News comes from Ian Bone's blog that Simon Hughes is still partying as hard as ever. Hughes is holding a celebration to commemorate the Lib Dem's win over Peter Tatchell in the notorious Bermondsey by-election in 1983.This is when the Lib Dems released a flyer dubbing the election 'A Straight Choice' whilst labour activists putting up posters in Tatchell's support found their windows attacked. Tatchell himself received hate mail, including a live bullet, and was attacked when out in the street.
Tatchell has forgiven Hughes as exclusively revealed on this very blog, however it remains to be seen what he makes of this knees up.
Now out and proud, Hughes will be 'avin it large with 24 hour party people, the Bermondsey & Old Southwark Liberal Democrats. Tickets are 20 quid off some bloke in Camden Market.
The event will take place at the Harris Academy in Bermondsey which is an all girls school. Given the way we've heard Hughes was putting it around in the 90's that's probably for the best.
the void played a small part in Hughe's failed bid to become Lib Dem leader after we were contacted by someone who had the lowdown on Hughe's nightlife ... and it seems the partying ain't stopping yet.

Work is Freedom!
the void has received a document from our man in the DWP which outlines Work and Pensions Secretary James Purnell's plans for the shake up of Incapacity Benefit. This memo will be sent to every frontline benefit advisor, read on for details of New Labour's devious scheme to get us all working for the man.
"Dear State Lacky
Firstly may I take this opportunity to thank you for your tireless work in tolerating the unemployed. Without your commitment and hard work who knows where we'd end up, ruled by bloody Moscow or some such disaster.
But there is an issue where we must ask you to push yourselves that bit harder in our shared vision to eradicate the poor.
This country has too many people claiming Incapacity Benefit(IB) when they should be working. Disease and disability must no longer be seen as an excuse not to participate in the economy.
It's time to think outside the box. To study people's so-called illnesses and find roles which are suited to them.
We should encourage people to be positive about disability and see their condition as an asset in the workplace. For example there are many jobs those suffering from depression can do admirably such as mortuary workers or professional mourners.
Agrophobics should be encouraged to become lighthouse keepers and surely alcoholics can't complain about being asked to work in a pub.
Schizophrenics with multiple personality disorders may be able to take on two or more jobs at once! The same applies to Siamese Twins.
And quite frankly there is no excuse for those suffering from autism not to become mathematical geniuses.
17,000 people commit suicide every year, many of them claimants for depression. This is a scandalous waste of deaths when the country is at war on two fronts.
A spell in the frontline and a nobel death at the hands of the enemy would be a superior situation for all concerned. Al Qaeda run some interesting schemes along these lines.
Patiants with terminal conditions should also be encouraged to think about military service as well as being made aware that many jobs are temporary these days anyway so there's no excuses.
The Labour Party fundraising offices is currently recruiting amnesiacs, whilst those with personality disorders may find a home in politics or the police.
It is therefore clear that those on IB for so-called mental health problems are lazy and selfish and and it's time they 'got off their arses' to use their language.
Physical disabilities represent a greater challenge but can still be overcome.
Obviously cripples aren't good for much, but for example coma-victims make great doorstops whilst those who are basically a vegetable could apply to become Community Support Officers.
Two wheelchairs lashed together makes a useful trolly which could be used in hospitals, meaning even hospital in-patients could be used as a kind of 'human trolly' saving the NHS a fortune.
Those who's physical or psychological needs are too great to allow them to participate in the workplace will be able to take part in the soon to be announced euthanasia assistance scheme.
As ever I remain confident that with your help we will be able to rid the country of the poor permanantly.
Warmest regards
James Purnell
Work and Pensions Secretary"

The race for mayor
The bunch of fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists in UKIP have announced a candidate for London Mayor who has been described as Enoch Powell's spiritual heir ... step forward not so closet a racist ... Gerard Batten.
In a debate on Serbia last year he complained that if Serbia joined the EU, this would "import their historic hatreds and blood feuds onto British soil". He also referred to Britain being "swamped with immigrants and asylum seekers" ... which does have a familiar ring.
True to form, if he's elected (stop laughing) he plans to slash funding for minority groups and cancel gay pride, a sure fire election winner in one of the most diverse and tolerant cities in the world.
For an (out of the) closet racist he does have some interesting views claiming that Italian PM Prodi worked for the KGB and has also supported the Chechnyan mujahideen. Don't get excited, he don't like Muslims, he just really hates Russians ... fucking commies.
Poor Batten seems to be confused, in a talk about calls for an amnesty for illegal immigrants, Batten spoke of the rights of the indigenous British citizen and says any amnesty would be grossly irresponsible ... unless of course they are Chechnyan terrorists here to blow up a few tower blocks.
Batty Batten bizarrely claims that Britain has no immigration controls at all, saying that anyone in the world is free to come here and melt into the woodwork. Try telling that to the families being held in detention centres around the UK.
As we mentioned Batten doesn't like Muslims, unless they happen to be Chechnyan, and last year attended the Counterjihad event held in Brussels where he got to hang out with some real fascists such as Flemish Interest.
Perhaps he learnt something, he claims that support for minority groups is 'cultural marxism' (if only) and that he would get rid of 'all that rubbish'.
Hot on the wannabe fuhrers heels will be weirdo Matt O'Connor who's standing for the English Democrats. It's been revealed on the we hate foreigners forums that there are currently twelve English Nationalist parties who are all competing with UKIP and the fractured BNP for a handful of votes - and they accuse the left of sectarianism.
One other candidate who would get along well with UKIPpers is Brian Paddick who turned up briefly on website urban 75 last night to plug his new book.
We revealed Paddick was due to stand back in May 2006 although he denied it at the time. Paddick was asked why he didn't do more to disassociate himself from BNP counsellor Barnbrook who was pictured with him on the Police March.
Paddick declined to answer which led some to question his record on fighting racism.
So we thinkt it's a good time to bring up the four black men who died at the hands of police whilst he was in charge of Lambeth policing.
Not to mention the aggresive and heavy handed policing of the demonstrations that occurred after these deaths.
All ex-coppers are bastards.
Agitpop, 1968 - 2008

£7m up for grabs ... do you know this woman?
The woman who gave evidence against the Securitas gang has had a £7 million contract taken out on her life according to the Evening sub-Standard.Michelle Hogg who made masks for the men out of latex and false hair and claims she had no idea why she needed them is reportedly 'living in fear'.
Amateur assassins can get a pic of her face easily enough, splashed as it is over the Standard's front page. The paper goes on to reveal that Hogg is 33, a policeman's daughter from Plumstead and a graduate of the London School of Fashion.
Criminal overlords have expressed thanks to the paper for the research.
Scientology vs teh interweb
Anonymous, the group who have declared war on Scientology have announced a day of action against the 'church' on February 10th.
The campaign began on the website http://www.4chan.org/, a tits'n'manga message board who had previously orchestrated campaigns against companies and organisations who have annoyed them in some way.
These have been fairly low key pranks, such as ordering hundreds of pizzas to company offices, but it seems that they have caught the mood of the moment with this new offensive.
The video above has 237,733 views so far on youtube and takes itself very seriously indeed.
Scientology websites have been hit with denial of service attacks around the world, but now Anonymous are calling people to take to the streets and take action against the thetan warriors in the real world.
Meet at Scientology HQ, 146 Queen Victoria Street EC4, 11am on the 10th Feb and wear a mask, if you want ... more info.
the void was rejected by the Scientologists when after a 30 minute discussion at their Tottenham Court Road offices, two very large men in black suits gently explained that they thought Scientology wasn't for us.
What kinda religion is that!
In anarcho circles this protest has had a mixed response, the following from indymedia is worth a read.
