Smoking Ban Update
Here are two problems with the new smoking ban in England that nobody bothered to warn us about. The introduction of the smoking ban in Scotland in May 2006 saw a "big increase" in the use of spiked drinks for date-rape. (Woman pops out of pub or bar for a smoke and leaves her drink with her date!) In Ireland, pubs introduced patio heaters in outdoor smoking areas to stop smokers shivering and to keep their custom. Only yesterday I saw a patio heater being installed outside my local pub. These devices are a disaster for the environment (CLICK). Will Government see sense and repeal this dangerous law? Will the Tories?

No!
Thought not.
Will the Greens?
No. They'll ban the patio heaters as well.
Get yerself an overcoat and a woolly hat mate.
I'd say UKIP is more left wing than both of them.
What ever happened to the UKIP? I've haven't heard anything about it since that white-haired TV chat-show host left them. Can't think of his name. So much for fame.
Liberals?
:-)
The Shade of Jeremy Thorpe not been plaguing you again I hope?
Not really. Most of our MP's are ex-public schoolboys, so I guess a sizeable majority have a fumble under the bedclothes with a friend to keep quiet about. There's nothing like a single-sex community for fostering gender disorientation.
No, it's the geriatric in charge of the Liberals that puts me off. "Safe pair of hands"? Doddering more like it. And what does he stand for? What do Liberals stand for? Sitting in the middle of the road and getting run over.
Come to think of it, what does Parliament stand for? It's an immature debating society for lawyers and ex-public schoolboys with the Speaker acting as a third-rate judge to keep the lads in check.
To be frank, there isn't one party I would vote FOR. If I vote at all, it will be a protest vote. So, the question is: Which is the party best used as a protest vote? We don't have a Nihilist candidate where I live.
We no longer have a Liberal Party, of course, but as someone from a Lib Dem family, it appears that it is a spectrum between whining wet liberal hand-wringing and ill-concealed libertarian greed and self-interest.
Not a pretty sight.
Sometimes annihilation is a positive and creative thing - as in Shiva's Dance of Destruction which clears the way for new Life
Believe it or not, there's a Google advert at the top of this page, asking "Against the smoking ban?" and suggesting there is a way of voting in the UK to get it repealed!
Unfortunately I can't click on it, as I'm the web host for this advert!
