A bit of (a) dope?

The new Secretary of State for Innovation, Universities and Skills

recently underwent a change of image...

Apparently John Denham's office got in a right state when they realised that the cannabis story was about to break. Denham's researcher had already refused to comment when contacted by George Jones of The Daily Telegraph on Thursday. As the day wore on however, Denham, whose spokesman said "we don't comment on surveys" realised the line was not going to hold.

He went onto give an exclusive interview, revealing all to the Daily Echo which was published on Friday. A bit of it can be read HERE.

The only thing is he wasn't quite truthful. When asked if he had smoked dope in the past, he has either denied it or refused to comment, a mantra he was repeating up to that very morning. When interviwed by the Echo, he said it had never come out before as he had never been asked!

A bit of a dope?

...or is this a case of the pot calling the kettle black?!!!
