George Michael charged with drugs possession and driving under the influence

From what I have seen on tele straight guys have a lot of rumpy pumpy in US jails as well, or they were straight before they went to jail

Having a drug habit is a health issue more than anything.... if it's possible to get 'sectioned' under the mental health act, is possible to be sectioned under a.....um "you've got a drug problem act?" I think this sort of thing should be treated as a health issue rather than crime... the court should have insisted he gets to rehab..!?

I disagree - he's a criminal recklessly driving a car whilst out of his head on drugs, he put the lives of innocent road users and pedestrians at risk. If there had been a pedestrian between his bumper and the Snappy Snaps shop he'd have killed them.

Yes and then he would have been charged with manslaughter, no one was hurt. Everyone who drinks and drives puts innocents at risk and even on a second conviction its only a fine and extended ban.
Still he may get the help he needs in the nick, at least, hopefully, he wont be smoking 25 joints a day.

He's got history of these offences but this time he's used up his 9 lives
