Cocaine use in House of Commons

Good Lord, what next....

Lindsay who?

Perhaps it was around the time of the party.
That one that happened..

Oh, that's it.
Last year.

I’d be more surprised if they didn't find any. Cocaine is everywhere.
I wonder if Boris will take their passports away, as he threatened today.

Hoyle - predictive text strikes again

I bet this will be a difficult genie to put back in the bottle...

I think that was in No 10, this is in the H of C.

Just no words.

Probably a little livener.
A snifter (pardon the pun) before the main event.

It’s all over the papers, here’s the Independent’s account.

MPs are involved by the looks of it.

PS it’s recent, not connected to the party last Christmas.

Gove was off his head in the HoC last year no? Visibly so.

Well if Johnson is 'plotting' (why do the media use this kind of terminology?) a new war on drugs, he knows where to start...

Crumbs, I missed that. Could you tell me more please?

Apparently 1:11 people took drugs up to March 21..

Well any one who has a H of C pass, will be suspect, and not only MPs, random drugs tests are required for all .

Absolutely right Lincslass. I just reported what the paper said. We will have to wait for the next instalment.

People taking cocaine do not look off their heads
Pills, cannabis, drink, yes, but not cocaine.
Lots of people take cocaine to stay awake.

The majority of people working at the House of Commons , are neither MPs nor members of the Upper House, they are cleaners, caterers, security staff, library staff, secretarial staff, lots and lots of young interns. I would be very surprised if cocaine was not found there and I wouldnot be surprised if an MP might be involved, but I really do not think the place is a drug den, with coke heads collapsed in every corner.

Kali How exciting! Do give us all the details.

I doubt cleaners and so on can afford coke habits.

But, why should they be 'collapsed in every corner, MOnica? MerylStreep says they take it to keep awake.

I think Kali was referring to a video clip of Gove in the chamber of the H oC, looking very off his head, that was doing the rounds of social media some months ago.

Though I understand that coke does a leetle bit more than just keep one awake...

Coke doesn't make anyone collapse.
It gives a short lived burst of euphoria and confidence, quickly wears off, and costs a fortune in order to maintain the initial feeling.

www.drugabuse.gov/publications/research-reports/cocaine/what-are-short-term-effects-cocaine-use

Cocaine’s effects appear almost immediately after a single dose and disappear within a few minutes to an hour. Small amounts of cocaine usually make the user feel euphoric, energetic, talkative, mentally alert, and hypersensitive to sight, sound, and touch. The drug can also temporarily decrease the need for food and sleep. Some users find that cocaine helps them perform simple physical and intellectual tasks more quickly, although others experience the opposite effect.

He could, of course, have ADHD or been excited about what was being discussed.

Without a positive drugs test we will never know.
