“I could lecture like a mum until I am blue in the face, but the only people who can prevent this from happening again is yourself.”She said she was horrified by people “sitting around discussing the virtues of these drugs” and by the notion of testing tablets to check the purity. What deterrent is that? It killed my daughter and it is killing others.”Mr Betts said he would treasure memories of his daughter “from bouncing her on my knee to when she came running down the hall on Saturday night dressed in her new outfit, saying ‘how do I look?’ She looked so beautiful”.His wife, Leah’s stepmother, who is a nurse, repeated a warning to those who take drugs. I think there has to be a complete radical change in the way people are dealt with,” he said.Drug dealers should serve the sentence passed “instead of being sentenced to five years and then you let them out after five months”.”That is the biggest load of bull I have come across. Just a few hours later, Mr Betts and his wife, Janet, faced the press and wept as he said: “Leah’s ordeal is now over.”In an emotional outpouring, Mr Betts, a former officer in the Metropolitan Police, called for a radical review of the sentencing of drug dealers and spoke of his hatred for those he accused of killing his daughter.”The hatred I have got is welling up inside me not only as a father but as an ex-policeman. Her distraught father, Paul, broke the news at a press conference at which he renewed appeals for action against drug dealers and said he took comfort from Leah’s organs being used for transplant.
Leah, of Latchingdon near Maldon, Essex, had been in a coma at Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford, since collapsing just after midnight on Sunday after taking one ecstasy tablet at her 18th birthday party.After four days in which the teenager showed no signs of improvement, the decision to switch off the life-support was made on Wednesday evening and carried out early yesterday. The life-support system keeping alive the 18-year-old ecstasy victim, Leah Betts, was switched off yesterday after tests showed she was brain dead. We believe that they took a cocktail of drugs, it’s frighteningly easy to get hold of ecstasy, amphetamines and cannabis.”"We’re now making inquiries to find out where they got the drugs from.”Portsmouth police estimate that the ecstasy trade in the city is worth a staggering pounds 13m a year..

We put him to bed but he kept getting out and wanted to sleep on the floor. He got really aggressive when we went towards him.”The family called an ambulance at about 11pm and he was taken to hospital.Eddie was taken to the hospital about an hour later, after his mother found him staggering uncontrollably around their home at Fleet End Close, Leigh Park.Detectives in Portsmouth, Hampshire, warned yesterday that the drugs problem was so bad in the city that there could be “10 Leah Betts tragedies every week”.Detective Sergeant Nigel Midgley, of the drug squad, said Portsmouth’s club scene attracted thousands of people from around the region each weekend and drugs were widely available.”We have spoken to both the boys, but not surprisingly they do not want to tell us what they took. She said he could not speak when he arrived home and added: “I’d like to string up whoever is responsible for this.”Kenneth’s step-brother, Carl Page, said Kenneth kept falling over and bumping into things.He said: “He went into the kitchen and tried buttering a plate We thought he was just drunk. Both boys are from the Leigh Park area of Havant, Hampshire.Kenneth’s mother, Sandra Page, described how her son returned staggering and stumbling to their home in Winterslow Drive.

Eddie Ingleby and Kenneth Williams were taken ill just hours before tragic Leah Betts lost her fight for life.
The schoolboys were taken to the Queen Alexandra Hospital in Cosham, Hampshire, after hallucinating at their homes on Wednesday night.Kenneth was fighting for his life in the hospital’s intensive care unit while Eddie was said to be “recovering”. A 15-year-old boy was last night fighting for his life and another was recovering in hospital after they took a drugs cocktail including ecstasy. God, what a moment! For me, it was up there along with singing with James Brown.’Anthology’, a series including interviews and unseen film of the Beatles, begins on ITV on Sunday 26 November ‘The Beatles Anthology’ CD will be released next Tuesday.. The verse after the solo is just incredible, the delivery, it sounds like he’s going to explode And they did play it in Scarborough. So many people came back and said: “Jeez, I’d forgotten how good it is.” One of those was Jools Holland – he said: “Damn, that thing’s amazing!”A lot of other Beatles tunes you attach things to – they were in tune with the Zeitgeist or they had LSD overtones or whatever – but “Money” is just something which cuts through all that, even the fact that it’s the Beatles It’s raw, like soul music. The Jamaican expression is it’s “gan clear”: it’s just gone beyond, there’s no telling what it is or why it is, it’s just one of those things.I make compilation tapes of tracks I’ve enjoyed throughout the year as Christmas presents and only last year I put that on my compilation.

It’s my favourite because it’s one of the best vocal tracks I’ve ever heard by anyone, ever. It’s up there with “Don’t Explain” by Billie Holiday or “Let’s Get It On” by Marvin Gaye. I went to see the Beatles in Scarborough where I lived at the time and that was the one song I was desperate for them to play. I remember being devastated when I heard he’d been killed – I was having a guitar lesson at school and was coincidentally learning how to play “Imagine”.ROBERT PALMER: “MONEY”I first heard this when the album came out, I guess. Although I’m not a huge Beatles fan, I have always been a big fan of John Lennon because I think he was a great songwriter; and he’s been a huge inspiration to me in terms of songwriting.
