Sadiq’s gone to pot

-

IN his latest pathetic attempt to appear relevant, Sadiq Khan has set up a commission to look at decriminal­ising cannabis in the UK.

Rather than announce it here, the showboatin­g London mayor jetted off at public expense for photo opportunit­ies at a marijuana farm in Los Angeles.

Yet cannabis is inextricab­ly linked to the gangs which bring violence to our streets.

And anyway, Mr Khan has no power to change the laws. Instead of engaging in expensive stunts, he should devote his energy to tackling the epidemic of drug and knife crime in the capital.

Less fun than a California­n jaunt, but far more important to those who pay his wages.
