UK: MEP in court on drug charges

---

A Euro MP is due in court on drug charges after being arrested during a
protest over Britain's laws.

Liberal Democrat Chris Davies was arrested presenting himself at
Stockport police station with cannabis on the back of a stamp.

He says he hopes his arrest will finally help start a "serious debate"
about the use of cannabis.

The MEP for the North West of England is due before magistrates in the
town charged with possession.

Greater Manchester Police have attacked the MEP for time-wasting and
have urged him to use his influence as a politician to change laws
rather than break them.

Mr Davies says that as a member of the European parliament, he is in no
position to lobby for a change in British laws.
