WITHAM: CHALLENGE TO CHARLES

A campaigner for the legalisation of cannabis will stand against the Home 
Secretary at the General Election.

Don Barnard, who lives in Witham, has announced he will stand for the 
Legalise Cannabis Alliance (LCA) against Charles Clarke in his Norwich 
South constituency.

Mr Barnard said: "Charles Clarke refused to discuss the issue of legalising 
cannabis and I was asked to put myself up against him.

"It's an opportunity to get the issue out."

The LCA, of which Mr Barnard is the national press officer, was registered 
as a political party in 1999.
