Sign of the times

Is there anyone who really believes that David Cameron's electoral prospects will be damaged in any way by the stories about his having smoked dope at Eton? Certainly not the BBC reporters who are covering this story with the straightest faces they can muster or the guys in the newsrooms at Wapping and Osterley. Anyone who's gone through the public school system or the shallows of the media and not smoked dope at some point has probably been taking too much time off.
