As some people will remember, especially the potheads, back in July, Gordon Brown told MPs at PMQs that he would be launching a consultation on the reclassification of cannabis the following week. Now.. official Government consultation guidelines state that consultations should last 12 weeks. That means the consultation should not end until the middle of October.
Now shoot forward to today and Gordon Brown has said that he and the Government has already changed its mind on cannabis (and will reclassify) after "listening" to the public in a consultation that has not ended yet.
So he's either just admitted that the Government doesn't bother following its own official guidelines on consulation? Or, in fact, he just proved to everyone that he doesn't listen at all and consultations are indeed the sham everyone knows they are.

This was always going to be the outcome - it is cynically supposed to make Broon look tough on crime.
Bollocks of course.
Consultations are a horribly abused way of implicating everyone in a descision and Brown is the worst abuser of this fiction ..remember the CBI and the pensions.
Tguis lostening brown is a farce and everyone knows it . Problem is a lot of people , oddly enough, don`t mind and I can sort of understand that.
Like your Long thing article as well very interesting
Or he's proved that no-one listens to Govt statements, and they don't expect to be challenged on them by what we laughingly refer to as 'journalists' in the MSM.
he becomes more of an obviouis fraud every day. he will turn out to be the disaster we all knew he would.
hopefully the public will now realise that we had had 10 years of a total sham government.
didnt he also say today he will be reviewing 24 hr drinking>
