You have to admire Lord Sewel for many reasons, firstly after a lifetime of misguided Labour party membership he saw the light and bailed out in 2012 (according to Wikipedia). Secondly there he is at 69 years old still enjoying recreational drugs and prostitutes, so there is hope for all of us. He is an inspirational figure.
Of course our hypocritical gutter press are milking the situation for the maximum voyeurism and prurience but in reality the vast majority of British people don’t give a damn. In fact many quietly admire him.
Prostitution is brilliant. The state should not be allowed to dictate to women what they do with their bodies or how they earn money for themselves and their families. There is a huge amount of prostitution in Britain (look here) and it is about time it was properly legalised and brought into the formal economy. As New Zealand has done so successfully. (Click here for more on prostitution.)
Recreational drugs are also great. Our state has decided, on no good empirical evidence, to make some drugs legal and some illegal. Their choices are very wrong. MDMA is a brilliant and very safe drug, tobacco is a filthy, nasty drug that kills huge numbers and wrecks the lives of many more. It looks like the legislators were heavily drugged when they made their decisions. It would be best if EVERYTHING was legal. (Click here for more on recreational drugs.)
We know what real world drug usage is by analysing sewage for residues. London has the highest concentration in Europe of cocaine and the fourth highest of ecstasy. The use of these drugs is widespread and normal in society. It is our government that doesn’t live in the real world.
In the Czech republic all drug possession is legal, in Holland drug laws are not enforced, in Portugal there are no criminal penalties for drug possession and so on, around the world there are many places with a liberal attitude towards drugs, they treat drug use as a normal social activity and drug abuse as a medical problem, not a police problem. And all the evidence is that these places suffer far less social harm from drugs than countries like the UK, which criminalises their use, does.
So both prostitution and drug laws are very wrong. They are illiberal. They are examples of the state thinking that it owns us and can control everything that we do. These controlling laws are morally wrong and should all be repealed. We need to get the state back under control. And it is great that a legislator, Lord Sewel, is showing us what our attitude to these ridiculous laws should be.

A married peer in charge of overseeing standards in the House of Lords was last night accused of snorting cocaine with two £200-a-night prostitutes. He later confirmed that the overly cheap
prostitutes and shoddy low grade cocaine entirely failed to meet House standards and that he would not be recommending the pimp or dealer to his colleagues. Is it Lord Sewell or Lord Sewer !
Strange selection for somebody who is meant to “oversee standards”. I think most politicians end up in positions for which they are the least suited. The most expensive care home on earth!! Take drugs at home then sleep it off in the Lords and to add insult to injury get £300 for the privilege! But the real crime is that we let the scum get away with it! Why is anyone surprised this is the way the whole place seems to be run these days! it is a disgrace nothing but! They are all the same. Get rid now! This country needs a French style revolution. They are all like this. Some are just better at hiding it. If all were exposed, Parliament would be empty. This is an example of how these people shame this Country and we have a House of Lords and Commons that is no longer fit for purpose. Too many and all they have at heart is their own interests. He should not have been allowed to resign he should have been sacked and made to pay back the salary he is being paid. It seems they want to be Great Britain but have no idea how to behave. These are the people who make the laws of the land , that sends a shiver down my spine ! Westminster is broken. It’s finished as a political system.
IF THE ALLEGATIONS ARE TRUE HE MUST DISGUST THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE AND TO THINK THAT THESE PEOPLE SHAPE OUR LAWS.I WOULD BET THAT IF THE STORY IS CORRECT THE PROSTITUTES AND COCAINE WERE ON EXPENSES. With some of the decisions made in Westminster I wonder how many more of the low life wastes of space are snorting the old Columbian marching powder. The entire system is CORRUPT to the core, paedophilia in Westminster, House of lords, Buckingham palace, the police force and other Governmental departments. We are hearing these events come to light on a daily basis, yet they are still able to protect themselves MOST OF THE TIME. None of these people in office can be trusted and major changes should be DEMANDED by the British people, until then “we are all at the mercy of these predators”. Tip of the iceberg I think. I bet there are many, many of these silly men, in senior jobs, drunk with their own ‘power’ who think they can act like this whilst supposedly governing our country. Next a golden handshake,,,no not a euphemism…for £30,000 to ease him back into ‘civilian life’ no doubt. Then straight on to various Quangos (public money again), where his knowledge, skills and experience are vital, and lastly registering on the chicken in a basket circuit for thousands of pounds per speech. So hard being in the House of Commons or Lords, you never seem to shake off being able to get public money at will. So what’s NEW ! Doesn’t anyone remember the film scandal about Profumo !!! It’s always been going on .
The paper claims Sewell stripped naked for a drug-fuelled sex romp at his London flat during which he referred to Asian women as ‘whores’ and turned a framed picture of his wife face-down.
British MPs and members of the House of Lords are the product of British education system which makes a man stupid, selfish and corrupt. What do you expect form them? What a shambles are our MP’S SNORTING DRUGS sex party’s and history’s of child abuse.If the deputy speaker is guilt of the charge of using class A drugs and attending sex party’s will he still keep job or be found some other well paid position hidden from view. Just goes to show these guys who sit on their high horses are in many cases more perverted than the rest of society … Well.. Nice to see we as taxpayers are now funding prostitutes. Another numpty in charge of making decisions in our country! One rule for them, one rule for us! They get away with everything, always above the law. Disgraceful. Drug test for all in parliament. Not too surprising. Many of our politicians have been in the same boat. There must be a lot doing the same. I am not surprised. These people are running our country !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone remember John Profumo?
The ‘Westminster’ paedophile ring has been rumoured about for almost 40 years now. Strange that in all that time, such a huge story has been virtually ignored, by most of the mainstream media. Questions need to be asked of our media on this. Is it complicit in the cover up. Or the hands of journalist tied, when it comes to reporting this major story. It seems that the reason Janner wasn’t charged several decades ago was because homosexual hebephilia is an upper-class sport (only the lower classes got fingered: especially to carry the can for others, as may well have been the basis of the pursuit and conviction of Frank Beck); and he was kept out of the clutches of the law subsequently through homosexuals being deemed an ‘identity politics’ protected sub-species.
To all those who cry over the fate of Lord Janner : too early to genuinely cry – the Establishment who prevented proper investigation and proper trial for 30 years or more have not said their final word. You can always rely on the British Establishment to supply the ‘right’ judge for the ‘right’ summing up (remember the Archer libel case ?), and may be – just may be – to retrieve an Establishment jury squad. Janner is clearly a fraud with his medical condition & has evaded consequences for far too long.
Muslim children in state schools with non-Muslim teachers are not in a position to develop positive self-confidence and self-esteem. Muslim children need state funded Muslim schools with Muslim teachers as role models during their developmental periods. There is no place for a non-Muslim child or a teacher in a Muslim school.
Muslim community would like to protect their children from the evils of the western society. You better educate your children and let Muslim community educate their children according the needs and demands of the parents.
Muslim schools teach Muslim children that sex outside marriage is a sin. Homosexuality is also a sin. Sex before marriage and homosexuality are western values and Muslims are not supposed to adopt them.
British values, which are said to include respect for legally protected characteristics such as homosexuality, religion, gender change, disability, race and marital status. what a warping of British values, the British values I was taught are respect for the institution of marriage, freedom of religious pursuit, freedom of speech, respect for the monarch. respect for others.
Indiscipline, incivility, binge drinking, drug addiction, gun and knife crimes, teenage pregnancies and abortion are part and parcel of British schooling. These are the reasons why majority of Muslim parents would like to send their children to Muslim schools with Muslim teachers as role models during their developmental periods. Only less than 5% attend Muslim schools and more than 95% keep on attending state and church schools to be mis-educated and de-educated by non-Muslim monolingual teachers.

You say “Muslim community would like to protect their children from the evils of the western society. ”
If so the answer is easy. Don’t live in the West.
We have our social values and you must respect and tolerate them. Otherwise you are not part of our society.
