Yes, I know this story was a few days ago but one thing has been really getting on my tits about it.

Helen Mirren said she used to 'Love cocaine'. Fair enough - lots of people do.

Then she said she stopped when she found out that fugitive Nazi war criminal was profiting from it.

Quote:

a bit of cocaine. I loved coke. I never did a lot, just a little bit at parties.

“But what ended it for me was when they caught Klaus Barbie, the Butcher of Lyon, in the early `80s.

“He was hiding in South America and living off the proceeds of being a cocaine baron.

“And I read that in the paper, and all the cards fell into place and I saw how my little sniff of cocaine at a party had an absolute direct route to this f...ing horrible man in South America."

My question is:

WHY DID IT TAKE THE FACT THAT A NAZI WAS PROFITING FROM IT TO MAKE HER STOP?

Had she previously assumed that the type of people who generally control cocaine production are lovely, hard-working kindly old Werthers grandads with a Father Christmas and the elves type set-up?

Sheesh - what a knob.

Nice boobs for an old lady though.
