ARCHIVE: REVEALED-The Alcohol Industry’s Power Over the British Government and Politics

FIRST AIRED: 07/07/2021. We firstly speak to Prof. David Nutt, author of ‘Nutt Uncut’ and the former Chair on the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (2008-2009). He discusses the UK government’s response to Coronavirus which he blasts as chaotic, the entrenched power of the Alcohol industry over Parliament and No.10 Downing Street, why he argues the current government’s and previous governments’ policy towards recreational drugs has been mistaken, how racism was de-facto encouraged in policing in the crackdown on drugs, the trends of the alcohol industry’s decline and the often ignored severity of harm caused by alcohol, how the damage caused by alcohol in the UK costs more than the revenue made from the alcohol industry and much more!
