The Commissioner said: "If you get engaged in the use if cocaine, you are supplying your money into criminal networks that extend from here to the most poor areas of the world where there is vicious violence ongoing every day."
British politician Michael Gove admits taking cocaine.
His behaviour is criminal. A middle class criminal and with all the words, pomp and actions that go with it.
Doesn't he look it and sound it.

This from yesterday's Guardian.
Michael Gove was battling to keep his campaign for the Tory leadership alive on Saturday night as he faced accusations of hypocrisy from drug experts and politicians, after admitting he had taken cocaine when working as a young journalist.
Figures from major political parties, along with former police officers and drugs charities, lined up to accuse the former justice secretary of double standards and of trivialising a debate on the harm caused by class A drugs.
A former senior drug adviser to the government, Professor David Nutt, said Gove’s disclosure was more proof that privileged politicians felt able “to break the law, but not for others to do the same”. Nutt also warned Gove that his confession might mean him being barred from travelling to the US to represent the UK, if he won the Tory leadership contest.
