Home Secretary Jacqui Smith's handwringing and whining on the matter of cannabis and our children's mental health would be slightly more believable if the Government was not in the process of dismembering and privatising our health service.

Labour's decision to reclassify cannabis from a class C drug back to a class B drug is an admission of guilt that it was wrong to declassify it in the first place.

In light of this, let's hope it does the same about the war in Iraq, Trident nuclear missiles and nuclear power stations, to name but a few.
