We can still smoke in our own homes, and outside.<br /><br />When they've finished the review (the conclusions are already written, all that remains is the taxpayer-funded junket), then they will bring in the total ban.<br /><br />And then the smoking area will be in a rowing boat, five miles offshore.<br /><br />A taxed rowing boat, with fines for dropping butts in the sea and imprisonment if you have booze on board or let the boat drift to 4.9 miles.<br /><br />I've been explaining all this to the Labour, Lib Dem and SNP voters in the smoky-drinky places for weeks. I'd explain it to the Tory voters if we had any round here.<br /><br />Some are coming around. I hope our local UKIP candidate will get a bit of a surprise on polling day.

I will not vote for the other three 'main' parties, they have lost the arguement as far as I am concerned. I want a country I can believe in and a party that I can believe in, so far I'm getting neither.

You are too kind sir, too kind.<br /><br />I did ramble a bit and I could have chosen some better links but all in all it's not too bad.<br /><br />I just couldn't believe what Labour had written in their manifesto. We all knew that this summers Smoking Ban Review would be a stitch up but we never guessed that they would be so bloody blatant about it, the bastards.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10072165710888952465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206739907723081582.post-15280506524673736922010-04-20T04:57:42.839+01:002010-04-20T04:57:42.839+01:00Definitely voting UKIP!

It wouldn't be the first time the public had the wool pulled over their eyes, would it.<br /><br />Manifestos, I read somewhere that they are not worth the paper they are printed on so their promises can be taken with a, soon to be banned, pinch of salt.<br /><br />As I said in the blog above, I've voted Labour all my adult life and I wept buckets when Labour came to power in 1997. I had some qualms about Labours 1997 manifesto and those qualms came to fruition especially when they said that British Rail as was will be brought back into public ownership...Well that never happened, did it.<br /><br />The railways apart Pat there was a slow drip, drip drip of anti people laws that beggared belief. It was only after the disgrace that is called the Smoking Ban Experiment came in on that fateful day that I started to scrutinise ALL of Labours pronouncements and what I saw was not pretty.<br /><br />I am under no illusions that UKIP will stick to it's manifesto but as sure as hell it's talking to me, loud and clear!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10072165710888952465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206739907723081582.post-18358274350140599262010-04-19T11:00:20.054+01:002010-04-19T11:00:20.054+01:00Hewitt was in it for herself and huge big Pharma f...Hewitt was in it for herself and huge big Pharma funds that came her way as a consultant - taxi for hire for Pfizer, perhaps?<br /><br /> As for me, I must be phsycic - I knew when this lying toad announced this review in three years that it would only ever go one way - more restrictions against smokers because the Labour govt hates them and paid for the review to back up their own prejudices.<br /><br /> An FOI request to see these reports was refused --- the DoH wanted to ensure the review was edited in a prejudicial way before then allowing the public to see that studies show we all hate smoker wish they would all crawl away and die.<br /><br /> Don't vote Lab, and don't vote for the other two until they recognise that smokers are people too!Pat Nurse MAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01591807335364002658noreply@blogger.com
