Telford cheese thief ordered to go to drugs rehab

Though the story soon disappears behind its paywall, the Shropshire Star wins our Headline of the Day Award - and not for the first time.

I don't know what the judges think, but to me the case for legalising cheese is overwhelming. Better that people buy it in supermarkets than buy (or steal) it from street-corner dealers.

I agree that cheese should be legalised. But in the meantime we shouldn't lull ourselves into thinking that cheese dealing is a victimless crime. Production and distribution is controlled by violent and exploitative gangs. The consumption of cheese at middle class dinner parties is profoundly anti-social.

We need to be extremely careful about the legalisation of cheese given the records of some pushing for greater
