That daily mail piece is so eloquently written. Like a tradgey, but then it gets funny

Quote:

When I saw my husband, he looked white and strained. All he could tell me was that two police officers had come to the house that evening and informed him that Matthew had been found dead - and that it was believed he had taken his own life.

I still vividly remembered the day, in 2004, that I'd found out we had a problem with Matthew.

Martin, then 14, had come into my bedroom and told me he'd seen Matthew, 16, smoking cannabis in the city centre.

---

Yep, that's the reason right there. Devil's weed took him, it's roots are in hell, and that's where it drags everyone. This is as scientific a fact as the earth being 6000 years old.

But his view was always the same: "If the Government isn't bothered about cannabis, why should I be?" If you looked at the law, he had a point.

---

Oh yeah, exactly. Before 2000 cannabis was a dirty drug, worse than teh nazis. After that it became more fun than an armful of puppies. I knew the government approved because it was class c, which is totally legal* (*Bollocks, it's still illegal, just now, it's more illegal. That'll show em!). Now it's back to class B I don't know if I can take the risk. I've got at least a 2*10^3% chance of being completely batshit nun raping devil weed smoking jazz music dancing mental case according to the font of scientific fact that is the daily mail.

To my horror, he was told that Matthew had hanged himself in the woods - an image so terrible to a parent that I don't think I will ever be able to erase it from my mind.

---

Yep. That must be it. Everything else was perfect in his life. Except his Mum would beat him and his dad RAPED him. Oh yeah, don't mention that bit daily mail. You'd never ever commit slander. You are middle class cat hoarding housewives standard of honesty.

Blond and blue-eyed, he was so handsome, as well as extremely talented.

(*INSERT VON BRAUN/PETER SELLERS VOICE HERE*) Ja, he vas einer Übermensch , corrupted by the evil devil's weed, as used by coloureds to lure white women into weird jazz orgies.

Thinking back to his childhood, I recalled how happy he'd been. When he was little, we had lived in a large house on the Pembrokeshire coast, and Matthew and his brothers had been able to swim and camp out on the beach whenever they wanted.

Later, after moving to Cardiff, we had bought a second home in Brittany where Matthew had spent weeks helping his father to make improvements.

He loved music, too, and played the mandolin, banjo and piano, as well as electric and acoustic guitar. He got ten GCSEs, mostly A stars, and became head boy of his school.

Somehow he had also managed to lead a busy social life. Our house was always full of his friends.

Over and over again, his teachers had told me what a wonderful future my son had ahead of him.

Now all that had been snatched away - purely, I believed, as a result of that first spliff.

DEVILS WEED BURNED HIM FROM INSIDE OUT! DEVILS WEED ROTS YOUR BRAIN. REPENT RIFF RAFF OF THE UK!

Quote:

---

His father and I tried to talk to him about the dangers of drugs, warning that cannabis would lead to harder, more lethal substances. But Matthew would not listen.

---

Did he use these harder drugs. Did he turn to drink, coffee, or cigarettes? Did he take heroin or cocaine? No, but THE DAILY MAIL must crusade onwards, battling the twin demons of foriegners (especially cannabis smoking ones) and the truth towards the ultimate goal of England by the cat hoarders, for the cat hoarders.

Quote:

---

Matthew's friend, Alex, had made a statement to say that Matthew had taken two tablets of LSD, suffered "a bad reaction", and had run off into the woods.

---

LSD standing for Pure Concentrated Evil in German. Even Johhny Foriegner knows of the dangers of this corrosive acid that melts children's spines.

Quote:

---

As I looked around at his friends, I longed to tell them that my son is just one of many young victims to die as a result of the belief that experimenting with drugs is "harmless".

---

I am grieving for the loss of your child. And filled with righteous indignation that people would dare grow the murderherb!































Mmm, murderherb. It sounds brutal.
