Say the Met.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-34328196

The Met launched a criminal inquiry into allegations of drug-related offences involving a member of the House of Lords on Monday, 27 July.

The investigation, led by officers from the Special Enquiry Team of the Homicide and Major Crime Command, has now concluded.

Following a review of all the material, including a forensic examination of an address in central London, there is insufficient evidence to proceed with this investigation and the matter is now closed."

Make your own mind up.

Yeah, it could be, except there was a discussion about Coke.

One law for them, another law for us little people.

how long does coke stay in the body? surely they could have done a drug test

cheesyboy · 22 Sep 2015 at 17:30

I snorted coffee when I was a student. And paprika. Maybe he was doing something like that.

Of course, I wasn't doing it from the breasts of hookers

Probably just some caffeine. Looks totally harmless...probably had a long day and needed the kick. Pro plus to the rescue.

My mom comes in sees needle stuck in my arm the other day, "yeah mom just injecting some vitamin b12!" right before I pass out into a drugged up stupor.

DAMN DUDE SOME SICK B12 Y'ALL

So....they have a 45min video of him talking about coke, saying about getting coke, saying yea lets get some coke if people like it, chopping up and snorting white power (coke) smoking joints and having sex with the prostitutes.

(Sure, I can think of worse ways to spend the afternoon

)

But the investigation provided insufficient evidence.....hmmm >.>

Which is irrelevant. You need to confirm exactly what the substance is. I've had people say a powder is coke and when tested there isn't actually any cocaine in it.

balky12 · 22 Sep 2015 at 18:14

It's right. There is no evidence that it is actually cocaine (common sense would tell you it probably is, or at least some kind of illegal substance mkat, mandy (yes people snort mandy o.O, etc.)

Seem to remember an occasion where some teens were stopped by old bill and when searched had a few wraps on them ('cocaine'). When it was tested it had no trace of cocaine... so they were free to go.

Bet they went straight back to their dealer (Whether they were grateful for his coke free coke is another thing).

If they did a "forensic examination" that means dogs and swabs. And if that didn't pick up anything, then he should probably try and get his money back.

I remember I bought a bag of what I thought was E and munched my way through 20 of them at a weekend rave. My internal organs started shutting down on the sunday morning and the next thing I woke up in hospital a couple days later. The doctor was like "It was mostly amphetamine, if it had been pure E it would have killed you a lot sooner, how do you feel" and the first thing I said was "ripped off". That's when I realised I had a drug problem.

We should all be pleased about this.

Who wants to live in a country where a man can't snort blow from the bare arse of a lady of the night without being send down? Seriously - jail time for a good time?

Glaucus · 22 Sep 2015 at 18:21

Good, no evidence of what it actually was.
Do you really want to prosecute people with no evidence. It's not one rule for them one for us either.

lafemmefatale · 22 Sep 2015 at 18:22

He quite obviously has a tampon up his nose.

Freakbro · 22 Sep 2015 at 18:26

To be fair though, it didn't seem like much of that line of coke was missing after he had his snort on it

He probably didn't inhale the joint either...

RaohNS · 22 Sep 2015 at 18:31

When running from the scene of a crime holding a gun/knife just make up any **** and bull story.

This is one rule for them. If this was your average Joe they would be dodging balls in prison by now

Interesting that he hasn't sued the Sun for libel.

What has that go to do with it. Two very different parts of law. It would probably be civil libel anyway. And it's not like the sun is miss reporting anything.

The Sun said:
A MARRIED peer in charge of upholding standards in the House of Lords has been caught on video snorting cocaine with a pair of £200-a-night hookers.

The Sun said:
Last month he was also pictured snorting coke with hookers at a sordid sex party after asking: “What about trying the big one?”

So either he was taking cocaine or the Sun is mis-reporting the events, there's no 'alleged' in those sentences
