THAT'S GOING TO SCREW HER IF SHE EVER WANTS TO LEAD THE TORIES

Melissa Etheridge would make a lousy politician - good god, she even cheerfully admits to smoking dope as part of her cancer treatement. Surely she knows you're expected to make evasive statements about how you might have done things in the past that you're ashamed of, but it was in the past and we really don't want to get into all of that, eh?

“Instead of taking five or six of the prescriptions, I decided to go a natural route and smoke marijuana,” Etheridge said in a US television interview.

When asked how her doctors reacted, Etheridge said: “Every single one was, ‘Oh, yeah. That’s the best help for the effects of chemotherapy.”’

The singer said she smoked marijuana every day for her pain and symptoms and “the minute I didn’t feel it, I stopped.”

David Cameron was not available for an evasive, foot-shifting comment which refused to actually answer the question.
