Last week, Dawn Alford of Britain's Mirror newspaper reported she had bought £10 worth of "cannabis resin" from the 17-year-old son of a cabinet minister. Today, Alford was busted for possession when she tried to turn over her purchase to police. The accused dealer and his dad, whose identities are secret under a British law protecting minors, had already gone to the cops to face the music. A spokesman for strongly anti-drug Prime Minister Blair said the cabinet minister will not have to quit over the incident.
