Woot-ton: ... and this is your Lily Allen on drugs

You can see what Lily Allen was trying to say when she suggested in a Dutch magazine that parents try a more honest approach with their kids when talking about E:

Lily said: “Parents should say, ‘Drugs might seem fun, but they do funny things to your brain. Some people react to it good, some don’t. Try it and see what you think’.”

Now, a sensible reaction to this might be to agree with Lily's general approach, but to perhaps engage with the question of if "try it and see if it kills you" is quite the right conclusion to be drawn.

Will Dan Wootton - who has got some help from Simon Ward for this one - take the opportunity to explore the question, welcome Lily's actually-quite-brave attempt to move the debate on, and consider if there's anything to be learned by those who shape drug policy in the UK by listening to a younger person? Or will he merely Google "drugs + bad + mmkay" and slap some half-arsed kneejerk reactions onto his page?

Tory MP Patrick Mercer called Lily’s drug rant “extraordinary”. Rob Broomfield, of Dad’s Against Drugs, slammed her as “immature”.

You might notice that this is two News Of The World writers, neither of whom know where to put an apostrophe.

[UPDATE: Lily Allen has said the News of the World "needs a better Dutch translator" and is consulting her lawyers.]
