Pot kettle?
Amidst reports of
cocaine use in parliament, the government is to take passports and driving licences off "illegal drug-users."
As part of a broader crackdown on crime that no doubt loosely links to 'levelling up' the country, the government is to release a 10-year plan that has been pegged as an "all out war" on drugs.

With the plan set to be released on December 6, Prime Minister Boris Johnson told the
Sun that measures would include football-style travel bans, curfews, harsher sentences for drug dealers and measures to break up County Lines gangs.
Johnson has stated that there are two key groups: addicts and middle-class people, who dabble on the weekend and assume it's a "victimless crime". Obviously, middle-class people can't be addicts.

The PM hopes new measures will force addicts and the harmless middle-class to take a deeper look at their habits.
"So we will look at taking away their passports and driving licences. We're keeping nothing off the table," he said.
He said that politicians have put off tackling the issue mainly because some of them are scared of being asked about their own experiences - which is a cracking way to govern.

This comes amid news of the
rampant drug-related behaviour at the Houses of Parliament. In the 12 areas tested with detection wipes, 11 came back as positive for showing signs of cocaine.
But don't worry readers, as middle-class people, they assumed it was a "victimless crime".
