SNATCH-the great health service swindle.

The deputy prime minister, Nick Clegg, is pressing ahead with his mission to roll back what he terms the "obsessive lawmaking" of the New Labour years. In today's speech to students at London's City and Islington College he said he wanted people to get involved in "our very own Great Reform Act". (Guardian)
Don’t forget the hated Smoking Ban Experiment Nick, amendments are needed, now!

Coaliton Repeal Bill Nick

And if you are serious about reducing the national debt then you and Dave can stop the haemorrhaging of serious lucre to denormalise the smoker without culling doctors or nurses frontline services.

Excellent to see such a well written letter in the mainstream press! The resources ploughed into the anti smoking industry are phenomemal, esp in relation to the good that they do.

It's amazing that the health services want smokers to stop smoking to improve the chances of effective treatment, when they put so much money into smoking cessation medications that don't work effectively.

I found the document shown above the day after I had sent the letter to the Daily Mail.

The NHS Stop Smoking Services expenditure for 2008/2009 is £73.5 Million ( page 6 ).

Please read the document.

We can now say:-

TOBACCO CONTROL - OUT OF CONTROL
