Snorting prescription drugs. Hmmmm. I take 4 drugs every morning (used to take 6 but I gave up the HRT and the statins). Imagine the faff of crushing them (or emptying the capsules of 2 of them) scraping them into a line - does it have to be a credit card? - and rolling up a tenner then sticking said tenner up my nostril and sniffing the stuff up. I'd be very likely to sneeze anyway, so I'd lose most of it, but it takes 10 seconds to swallow them with a glass of juice. Oh, I do inhale drugs 3 times a day - budesonide/formoterol - that's by mouth in a special casing, not up my nose.

Incidentally, it's very common on the continent to administer prescription drugs by suppository as that way they work fastest of all. We don't hear much of that in the celebrity snorting circles, do we?

Now, Blazey, you deal in facts. Do you contend that the video was tampered with to alter the facts that it showed? We clearly saw this young woman snort a line of.....something ...... and I doubt it was paracetamol. I agree there's no evidence of where her children were at the time and I'm inclined to give the benefit of the doubt, that they were safely tucked up in bed. The whole point, however, is that their mother, allegedly (I'm playing safe), uses illegal substances and is the legal guardian of those children. A teacher would lose her job on this evidence as would anyone working with children in any other capacity, simply because of concerns for the children. Those concerns apply equally to a parent.
