On one hand we have three MP’s trying to have the smoking ban adjusted to make it more equitable for us Filthy Smokers.
Three MPs are joining forces with campaigners to call for the smoking ban in UK pubs and clubs to be relaxed.
Conservative Greg Knight, Lib Dem John Hemming and Labour's Roger Godsiff argue that the ban has had a devastating impact on the industry.
They want the law to be changed to allow pubs to create a separate room for smokers if they choose.
Thousands of UK pubs have closed in recent years and many have blamed the ban for the loss of business.
The smoking ban was introduced in England in July 2007. Scotland's ban was introduced in March 2006, followed by Wales and Northern Ireland in April 2007.
On the other hand do you support one of the Righteous anti-smokers who would like to probably have us sent to jail? or at the very least fined?
Alderman Paul Bartlett (above four eyed cunt), who sits on Stony StratfordTown Council, is calling for a street smoking ban in an effort to stop litter1 louts from throwing cigarette butts on to the streets of the historic town, and to ‘make the environment cleaner’.
Cllr Bartlett hopes to do this with a by-law, and will be lobbying the town council to support the creation of a law at its next meeting in July.
He said: “Why should people have the freedom to smoke in my face, pass on diseases2 and spoil the environment?
“When you walk through the high street in any town smoke is in your face and harming you and any children3 there.
He really has read from the ASH handbook.
1 Firstly, litter. Most considerate smokers that I know use the bins provided.
2Secondly, he is accusing us of being diseased.
3Think of the Cheeldren.
Didn’t he do well. (I’ll say it again. Rude word follows. Turn away now if you haven’t read the disclaimer at the top of the blog). CUNT.
I would like the same opportunity of choice extended to all of us .. which MP's so generously extended to themselves ..
ReplyDeleteAfter all, why should we the employers be forbidden by law from smoking indoors & in pubs, when MP's, the employees .. are allowed to do so in their own bar in the HoC ?
I'd also be interested in knowing the rationale behind the rules which dictate that members of HM Forces, living in Barracks accommodation (their homes, for which they pay) are not permitted to smoke in them ..
Whilst convicted prisoners are permitted to smoke in their cells (their homes, for which they pay nothing) and are there because they have committed crimes ?
I agree entirely with your sentiments captain. But then again we're mere serfs when it comes to our Lords and masters.
ReplyDeleteOne day........................
As you say FE .. "One day" ..
ReplyDeleteThe stupid, greedy, self-serving bastards are just too thick to realise that "the" day draws ever closer ..
My piano wire futures are growing in value by the day.
ReplyDeleteWithout going into the arguments of whether Mr Bartlett is right or wrong (he's wrong) will he be waiting at a Stony Stratford boundary, waiting for the wind to blow a butt into his squireocracy, and sending the dogs to nab some poor sod of a visitor?
ReplyDeleteGot to love local democracy.
Bartlett has previous for being a cunt:-

Thanks for that SS. However it tantalisingly doesn't give the outcome. I shall dig further.
ReplyDeleteUPDATE. It would appear that he got away with it.
ReplyDeleteInteresting collection of cigarette butts on the pavement. He's either collecting them (unlikely) or spreading for effect. Either way - 1d10t.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you should refer to him as a cunt....I personally have deprecated this word in favour of the new description of "Front Bum"
ReplyDeleteSo... he is a total Front Bum.
Makes they laugh when they witter on that clearing litter costs millions...what the fuck else do these dumb arse front bums think we pay council tax for - its not for gay lesbian diversity inclusion and outreach co-ordinators thats for fucking sure. But we get those anyway /banghead
Has he not been found out in that the pics of him picking up butts are not even in the town he is a councellor in?
