That's SO 80s!

Ah yes, cocaine in the EU Parliament.

The Sat-1 channel sent reporters to take 46 swabs from toilets and other public areas of the Brussels buildings. Nearly all tested positive for cocaine.

A professor who analysed the samples said the amounts found were too great to have been carried in on clothing.

"It simply reflects the fact that cocaine was brought in there," Professor Fritz Sorgel of the Institute for Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Research in Nuremberg (IBMP) told the BBC News website.

"The amount was too high and found in too many spots. It shows it was brought in deliberately."

What could fit the persona of the struggling EU more than the coked out diplomat? I mean come on people, get with the times! This is the decade of E and methamphetamines! Hell, it would be more respectable to smoke pot in the bathroom!

Of course, the EU Parliament spokesperson says

"It seems the findings are in line with findings in other public buildings."

Oh, really? So if everyone else is doing it, it's ok? And the moral of the story?

The producer of the AKTE 05 TV show, Ulrich Meyer, said consumption of cocaine was a problem which pervaded all of society - "bigger than many politicians are willing to believe".

Seriously, is it 1987?
