Hain faces cannabis granny

A grandmother who was spared prison after cooking up cannabis cakes, soups and casseroles for neighbours plans to stand against Welsh secretary Peter Hain, according to Wales on Sunday.

Patricia Tabram told the paper that she plans to stand for the Legalise Cannabis Alliance in Mr Hain's Neath constituency - majority 14,816 - "because the Welsh seem to know more of the facts and the history of cannabis".

Perhaps Mr Hain should have spared the chattering classes his harsh words today, and directed his attack on those who prefer a smoke of dope rather than a glass of chardonnay or shiraz.
