Founder of extreme left-wing campaign group 38 Degrees is sacked from his £75,000-a-year job after giving cocaine and Ketamine to younger staff members
[MAIL] The founder of a popular campaign group has been fired after he allegedly supplied staff with illegal drugs.

David Babbs, the executive director of 38 Degrees, from Hackney, east London, was sacked from his £75,000 role after it was found that he had supplied cocaine and ketamine to younger staff at an after-work event.

Police have been made aware of the incident and an independent external investigation is now looking into the claims.

38 Degrees is funded by donations from its three million members.

Chair Srabani Sen said: 'We take these allegations extremely seriously and are keen to hear from anyone should they have concerns. The board have alerted the police and await next steps.'

The group, named after the angle at which snow starts to trigger avalanches, says its aims are to promote peace and preserve the planet.

It previously campaigned for a new housing regulator after the Grenfell Tower tragedy and also called on Walkers Crisps to go plastic-free.

#1 And just in case you wanted to know - 38 Degrees takes its name from "the angle at which snowflakes come together to form an avalanche"

According to Wikipedia. I can't seem to find it on their home page. Snowflakes!

#2 The drugs weren't an enticement to engage in other activities by any chance?
