**Anthony Barnett (London,** [**OK**](http://ourkingdom.opendemocracy.net/?ref=opendemocracy.net)**):** Saturday's FT had a report by Stanley Pignal on the increasing use of cocaine. He says,

"The new data suggest that cocaine use is no longer limited to bankers working long hours".

Could someone get the tabloids to launch a campaign for more "Bobbies in the City". Perhaps even the creation of a special stop and search "Powder Squad"; after all the bankers are a danger to the public especially old ladies with their extra pensions coming from shares.
