Harming our youth

AFTER another “wayward celebrity” — Amy Winehouse — was found dead, Steven King (Opinion, July 27) launches into the promotion of the “legalisation” of hard drugs.

He does this, despite the fact that it would make them cheaper and increase their use.

Providing apologias for, and idolising, selfish, self-obsessed, self-indulgent celebrities is not what Mr King should be doing.

It does a monumental disservice to the youth of this and every other country.
