Why not Westminster as well?
It's only right that our MPs, law makers, judges across the street should likewise be tested!!!


And since we are at it:

(ok, from the BBC in 2005, but still accurate)

Intoxication 'rife among doctors'

The British Medical Association has called for action over alcohol and drug abuse among medics after a BBC survey showed the problem was widespread.
BBC One's Real Story found over the last 10 years 750 hospital staff in England had been disciplined over alcohol and drug-related incidents.

The BMA estimates one in 15 medics have a problem with drugs or alcohol at some point in their life-time.

Ethics Committee chairman XXXXX YYYYY said the profession was in denial.
So the people want to check-check-double-check pilots (but not checking fatigue) but the people are still happy and THRUST the medical profession (in general) a couple of times per year..
