So much for reports

Those reasons go against the basis of YOUR argument. Wax fahan.

This idiotic woman just turned a law abiding and tax paying community into criminals thanks to, no doubt, the head in the sand "ban it all" brigade, going even against the scientific advice that the plant caused little "harm". But the big blame lies with the inept Kenyan government who appear to have been caught sleeping on the job and will now lose a sizeable chunk of change.

 

I hope coffee is banned next, its mild high has caused endless damage to society and is really no different to khat:

 

Khat consumption induces mild euphoria and excitement, similar to that conferred by strong coffee

i'm somewhat ambivalent about this, you know.

How so? None of them are proper reasons (and all go against the report of her advisors). War it's nonsense. But now that the box is open, let us wait and see what happens.

The open borders you talked about dee. It was all coming through UK.

 

I can see many will move back home now

Thank God for this wise decision taken by Theresa May. Now I think a lot of absent fathers will be physically and emotionally available for their wives and children.

Of course the plant will be available in London (and other places), ban or no ban because one can find class A stuff easily available in Leicester square (and throughout the country) on any given day then you can bet khat will also be available. Only thing that will change will be the suppliers going underground and, more likely than not, said suppliers connecting with organised crime. This is what you get when policy is led by emotion rather than reason.

Yes there will no longer be an open border to any other Western nation. Khat will from now on be as inaccessible as the other controlled substances without taking significant risks.

Indeed it is as easy as that. If not being in a marfash chewing poison, what other excuse will a man have for not being with his family?
