BRITISH NATIONAL PARTY ANTI-CANNABIS

EVIDENTLY, Ian Gibson MP is not sure whether or not he disapproves of 
people breaking the law by taking cannabis "Evening News, May 20, "Pro 
cannabis party given taxpayers' cash")

By contrast, the British National Party (BNP) can give a clear lead to the 
law abiding majority by stating that we consider the taking of illegal 
drugs to be damaging not just to the individual, but to their families and 
to society in general.

There are enough problems caused by the use of relatively less harmful 
compounds such as ethyl alcohol and nicotine without exacerbating the 
problem by comparing these compounds with cannabis, and it is significant 
that some irresponsible individuals would rather support Electroal 
Commission grants to parties which champion the legalisation of 
dissip[ation and dissolution rather than apolitical party (the BNP) which 
supports healthy family values.
