DON'T MOUNT THAT HORSE, KIDS!

By anti-ecstasy campaigner Paul Betts

Some expected me, as arguably Britain's most famous campaigner against the dangers of ecstasy, to be outraged as this latest government report that equates the level of risk from taking a pill with that of riding a horse. Apparently, it says that "drug harm can be equal to harms in other parts of life. There is not much difference between horse-riding and ecstasy."

Well, all I can say is - if that's the case, let's ban horses immediately. And warn youngsters to stay well clear. There's a danger at the barn door, and we need to close it before the horse bolts - right into our kids' heads. I'll do whatever it takes to stop a kid mounting a horse if I see one - I'll even blow the kid off if I can. Off the horse. With a big gust of wind.

HEAR THE TRUTH...AVOID THE HOOF

It's been 13 years now since my darling daughter Leah fell victim to the deadly charms of ecstasy, and I'd like to think that my tireless campaigning ever since has helped clear up the streets, with recreational drug taking clearly no longer a problem in the UK. But just when you think you can rest easy in your bed, you realise some equine evil is after your kids like them pills were after my Leah.

I think she may have even ridden a horse once, in Dorset. It makes me shudder to think.
