Peter Hitchens is so anti-drugs, and so engaged with his moral compass he won't even consider taking the fictional recreationals, while Sarah Vine has been on antidepressants for over a decade and swears by her 'fat jab’.
This, while Peter dreams of a Dutch like utopia where cars are rarely seen and children are safe to walk to school.
Shall the twain ever meet? Occasionally.
Join them for a conversation that begins by asking is society, sleepwalking into a delirium of self-medication and can end just about anywhere...
