Witham: Challenge to Charles
A
campaigner for the legalisation of cannabis will stand against the Home
Secretary at the General Election.
Don Barnard, who lives in Witham, has announced he
will stand for the Legalise Cannabis Alliance (LCA) against Charles Clarke in
his Norwich South constituency.
Mr Barnard said: "Charles Clarke refused to
discuss the issue of legalising cannabis and I was asked to put myself up
against him.
"It's an opportunity to get the issue
out."
The LCA, of which Mr Barnard is the national press
officer, was registered as a political party in 1999.
