The book, serialised in the Independent on Sunday, says Mr Cameron, then aged 15, was one of several boys caught smoking cannabis at Eton. He confessed and was grounded. Some of the other boys were expelled.
A Conservative Party spokesman said: "David has always maintained politicians have a right to a private life before they come into politics." He pointed out that the alleged incident happened almost 25 years ago. Mr Cameron, now 40, has so far made no comment.
So that nice Mr Cameron was partial to a spliff or two in his youth; boringly normal or too much money and not enough sense?
The claims are that it was a "typical student experience", later adding that everybody was allowed to "err and stray" in their past. Meaning he's not done it since?
Surely he must have been on something when he gave Boris Johnson the job of shadow higher education minister...

The MPs aren't the tiny minority who never partook. The tiny minority who never partook are all the journalists and media types who gleefully report it all!

As with all of this sort of thing it's not that he fired up a doobie as a kid that bothers me. It's the way they try and cover up or deny or spin it.
