True.

It's a case of people faking offense in order to drag someone through the mud they don't like. The stuff with Diane was ridiculous and shouldn't have been a story and it's the same case with this.

I haven't really kept up with the replies in the thread but I do hope that people who pretended to be offended in the Diane story aren't telling people to get over this.

the difference being one is a serving MP and the other was a journalist and not paid by the taxpayer when he partook, not a Gove fan at all but there is no correlation between the two, if he was lining up coke on the arm rests of tube seats last week, there would be but he wasn't an MP when it happened

I think the controversy is less about the actual Coke taking and more about his historical hypocrisy and privilege, he’s spent his political career purposely putting things in place to ruin people’s lives if they’re ever caught with/or taking drugs like cocaine, he put it into measure that people who have cocaine offences anywhere in their past, can’t ever apply to be teachers, knowing full well he himself spent most of his 20’s sniffing the stuff like a rose bush, it’s also proving that white posh blokes can get away with anything while poc especially women, are held to a ridiculously higher standard.

Is education and the planet not a tad more important than what he was snorting up his nose when he was younger?

This, nobody’s bothered that he took drugs, it’s just that it highlights his hypocrisy. Also he’s a massive wanker so there’s that

Michael Gove twenty years ago...

[LeatherTrumpet]

Disgusting drug abuse.

More reason to vote for Boris

[Matthew.]

I’ve just found out I’m from the same place as Michael Gove grew up and I’ve never been more been more horrified in my entire life.

[Shaun]

Always thought it was vodka that goes best with coke, turns out it's tories.

He's clearly been off his nut for decades.

[joeysteele]

I actually cannot take Michael Gove seriously.

When he gets more animated in his speech making, I just find him funny and cannot stop grinning.

He's kind of like a Ronnie Corbett type character at times.

I think the drug issue is not worth bothering on.
It was said on Politics live today.
Boris had on several occasions, said he had taken drugs then denied he had.

At least Gove stated clearly he had and I still see no reason why he felt a need to say sorry.
As Cherie stated, he wasn't an MP at the time.

I'd be more concerned at someone like Boris, who treats drugs as a joke to play a has he or hasn't he game about.

I know which of the 2 has the better integrity and it isn't Boris.
