Three More Drugs Advisors Resign

More bad headlines for Alan Johnson - three more drugs advisors have resigned. According to the Beeb, 'Dr John Marsden, Dr Ian Ragan and Dr Simon Campbell have quit the Advisory Council for the Misuse of Drugs after two others left earlier this month. Members of the council had met Alan Johnson seeking reassurance that their independence would not be compromised.' The Graun is reporting that the 'loss of three more members of the council brings the total who have gone to six out of an original membership of 31 the home secretary appointed to advise him on drugs policy. Many of those remaining, who include police officers and judges, are there as representatives of organisations and are unlikely to tender personal resignations.'
