Yesterday: No letters of complaints

Today: GERRY RYANS A MURDERER!!!

He's right. As much as it pains me to say it but he's spot on with that article.

........though in a shock development, he doesn't slag off 1916...I was expecting some metaphor of Pearse and Connolly snorting human blood through rolled up copies of the proclamation.

This is I am afraid, not a very good article. Myers is making the school-boy error of equating the problems caused by criminalisation ( i.e criminality) with the problems of the drug itself. The problems caused by the drug itself - very real, as we have seen by G. Ryan's untimely death - are caused to the user and addict. The problems along the way to the drug user's nose are caused by regulation.

I think on this occasion Mr Myers might have a point. Why not make mandatory drug-testing a condition of having an RTE contract, whether you're a broadcaster, tech, manager or accountant? It is mandatory for athletes, sports people, employees of other state / semi-state bodies and industry generally so why not for the so-called celebs on the box?

Hi error is using a recently dead celebrity to get the attention of people and rile them up. Of course what he says is correct in a way. But he knows this is going to get a reaction out of people. like this, its what he wants. So i will not be commenting further unless to insult the little worm

He can only get an erection if people hate him.

He goes against the grain everytime- He's one step away from being a Daily Mail journo. He takes a little bit of truth the spins the sh1t out of it

I would agree with that, the criminalisation of the drug is what causes the crimes and that would be the fault of the legislation.

I do think the article is right however to point out that victims of drug crimes who arent famous are vilified (eg its all their fault) while famous victims of drugs are let of likely and every reason given why they must be on drugs.

Dumb logic. People died so Kevin Myers can heat his home with oil and drive his car with petrol or diesel.

Slight difference, AFAIK Myers doesn't use his position to pontificate about people who use home heating oil or cars.
