Some guy wants to ban everything that is mind-altering

So... yeah. I'm just listening to radio 4 and this guy from the Home Office, who clearly is a proud Little Hitler (:-D), who literally declared that he wants, practically, everything banned. I mean, what in existence doesn't change the mind? He surely needs to annihilate all brains in existence if he has any chance of achieving this lofty goal, or the minds can become altered before any sort of legislation. Legislation against alteration of the mind.

Children will have a difficult time considering theirs changes so much more often than adults'...

There are Little Hitlers everywhere. Don't forget the real Hitler was a teetotaler and he was defeated by a two guys who drank like fish and smoked like chimneys (Churchill and Stalin).

They may take my coffee away from me when they can pry the cup out of my cold, dead hand.

Things have changed a lot since WW2, this guy will probably be locked up or forgotten a few years from now.

A strenuous hike in the mountains can positively alter the mind and open one up to fundamental truths. Perhaps he'd like to ban that, also.

Not my anime!! !

Hmm... England withough Ale, Lager, Cider, Perry, Barleywine, Mead, wines off all varieties, not to mentioned distilled liquor such as Scotch, not to mention a general ban on all antipsycotic medication for those who need such. Not to mention the fact that tea will be banned as a result. --I think it's not on.

I'm guessing he's not including propaganda in with his mind altering prohibitions. He might find it difficult to function if that were banned.

It's not so uncommon for someone to believe they've found the root of all the world's problems in one thing and go on a campaign over it. Some people believe the same way about capitalism, some people believe the same thing about everyone who's not of their particular religious sect. Thankfully, for whatever reason between some latent intelligence and some ennui, most people don't bite on it at least in the west.

Being a civil servant, doesn't make you a lawmaker.

Opinions are like a***holes. Except there are rules for civil servant, acting in a official capacity.

Is he a civil servant or an elected politician?

If you post something like this, at at least supply the details so we can Judge for ourselves.

www.harrogateadvertiser.co.uk/news/loca ... -1-7140415 - is the related issue. For the Today programme one would need to dig through its archives and find the exact time of the interview (slightly before I posted this).

That guy's BS would never fly here. In Canada, we love our beer, and we love our coffee as well. If someone tried taking those things away from me, they'd have to take them from my cold, dead hands.
