The TRUTH about Smoking ?
Rob Layton

The anti smoking lobby have done a great job of demonising smokers.
What is the real truth about passive smoking and is the smoke ban done for the health of the nation or as a result of some inbred hatred of smokers ?
My opinion is that it is for the latter reason.

In Great Britain there is a form of apartheid being operated on behalf of a very vocal minority of people that criminalises ordinary hard working decent people for smoking a legal substance that has been around for centuries.

I was horrified to see how people have been forced to sit outside in public shelters in full view of every passing bigot and made to look like animals in a zoo.
These people were paying the same for their drinks as the non smokers who sit in comfort inside.
Its little wonder that pubs are closing at the rate of twenty per day as a result of this lunacy.
Soon the pub will be a thing of the past, for smokers and non smokers alike.

My aim is not to encourage anyone to smoke completely the opposite as most of the information put out by the anti smoking lobby seems to be spurious at best, this goes a long way to encourage smokers to believe that they can carry on smoking because of the misinformation put out by these people.

The harm to society is being caused by a bunch of self righteous bigots who have divided society into smokers and non smokers.
The latter are being forced to have no leisure time in public places with friends, and criminalised if they do so whilst partaking of a legal substance that this and other Governments benefit from by way of extortionate tax on these products.

One could not be blamed for believing that the amount of penalisation is disproportionate for a smoker compared to that of illegal drug users.
If you are caught using an illegal substance ie cannabis you are far less likely to suffer the slings and arrows of stigma by society than dropping a fag end or God forbid smoke in a Cafe.

The smoking of weed, and 'doing coke' seems to be more socially acceptable to the higher classes, so a blind eye is turned and even rewards given to the people who supply and use the stuff.
No one will ever really know the amount of road accidents or other social evils, ie rape, muggings, or marriage breakup caused by the taking of drugs because they seem to be covered up, or not accounted for in official figures.

If you want to know the real truth about passive smoking you need a true scientific non bias view of this subject not a subjective biased view based on class hatred or political motivation.
This can be found on one of the millions of sites that are springing up worldwide to fight the cause of human rights on the smoking issue.
Read a scientific view and tell me that the anti smoking lobby have not lied or invented facts to back up their case.

The international Liberty Network Website

Gordon Brown or his predecessor must see that this protest will not stop, the people responsible will not be forgiven until they rectify the gross injustice that they have done and modify the ban to a fairer system.
The recent By-Election results will be nothing in comparison to the General Election results if the LABOUR PARTY do not Listen as they said they would !

Stuff Euro-vision !
Rob Layton

If you want to think about what the rest of Europe think of us just watch the Euro-vision song contest.
Granted we have had a few bad years where the entrants were not fit to sing in football stadium, let alone a European talent contest.
That doesn't excuse the fact that when we have had decent entry's the rest of Europe would rather vote for the worst act than vote for the United Kingdom.

Every vote is predictable as Terry Wogan has proved countless times.
Is it not time that we withdrew from this embarrassing insult to entertainment ?
The only thing that keeps the show going is the often witty comments of Mr Wogan.
It is my opinion that we should call time on this puerile drivel before the British nation becomes more brain dead than it already is.
This show is based on politics not entertainment it has run its course like the EEC.

These people are laughing at the British as they take huge sums from the British taxpayer in grants handed out from Brussels.
Its about time that both were kicked into touch, and let us gain back our national identity.
We have already changed to accommodate the stuff shirts in Brussels, lets see them do a bit of changing to accommodate our traditions and values.

Euro tolerance has done nothing to enhance the betterment of the people of the British Isles rather the opposite.
We have done all the giving and they seem to do all the taking.
So stuff the EEC, and stuff Euro-vision !

Rob Layton

Can you hear the sound of New LABOUR sinking ?
Bi election results are never a good indication of who will win the next General election but if politicians listen they should be able to hear what potential voters are saying.
In this case you wont hear the entire story because voices of smokers have been stifled once again.
As the Labour boat sinks you can hear the usual rhetoric from the usual bunch telling us that their boat wont sink.
The rights of the individual have been ignored by all Party's at this bi-election and the politicians have not Listened
The economy and other factors came into it, but the overwhelming factor that came into it is that many people feel that life has nothing to offer them.
We see what the future has to offer, no holidays, rising costs, and no where to escape because of the Bloody stupid smoke ban !
Millions yes millions of potential voter are bloody angry because you have robbed them of some way to escape from the gloom and doom of your failed attempts at a hypocritical legislation t

HARRIET HARMAN, LABOUR DEPUTY LEADER
"I don't think there's any getting away from it and I make no bones about it, it was a bad result for Labour last night. But I think we have to understand what lies behind it and what lies behind it is people's sense of their own prospects and the fact people are feeling the pinch... People are saying to the government they want their immediate concerns addressed, that food's going up, fuel prices are going up and they want the government to very strongly focus on what we can do to back them up in their standard of living and we will do that."

Glug glug

HAZEL BLEARS, COMMUNITIES SECRETARY
"It might be that the electorate have decided to send us a pretty powerful message but the last thing they want is the Labour Party to turn on itself and be obsessed with our own affairs and not what the public want."

Glug glug

CHRIS BRYANT, LABOUR MP AND AIDE TO HARRIET HARMAN
"I'm not putting any gloss on it. It's a very bad night for us. A lot of people are anxious about their personal budgets, their personal finances, fuel and food costs and they want a government that is going to work at that. I think that Gordon Brown is the right person to take us through these choppy economic waters on a world front."

Men are Irrelevant  !
Rob Layton

That's it chaps: men are irrelevant, it finally happened.
What we have known for years has finally been made official by the latest vote in the Houses of Parliament.
It makes my blood boil to see the injustices that have been brought about by this pro feminist Government but none more so than this outright attack on the Male sex.

Men have always been cannon fodder, the suffragettes never knew what real oppression was.
The biggest recruiting sergeant for women's suffrage has always been the lie that women have been the greatest oppressed section in society over the centuries.

There is no way to try and tell that to the billions of men who's blood has soaked battlefields down the ages that they were not the most oppressed.
The millions of men who died trying to build roads and bridges for a pitiful wage to try and keep their families alive.
Yes men are an irrelevance today because we are no longer needed to die like cattle, we are no longer needed for the blood sweat and tears that past generations suffered to make the God Damned society we are living in today.

Its little wonder that young boys and young men are reacting in the ways that they are today.
Treat a human being with no respect, and you get no respect in return.
Women were never treated as bad as the generation of young men have been treated since the inception of this perceived misandrist Government.

The signals have been sent out for many years that men are useless, every soap opera, every anti male daytime chat show has put out this message and now the message has hit home.
The gloating fems seem to have won this one, but the old saying seems to ring true at this moment in time. 'HE who laughs last, laughs longest'

The laws and legislation that this bunch of extreme missandrist's have come up with have been worded so that a Government with say less sympathetic leanings to the fem doctrines that spur this lot on, can be reversed and who will laugh then ?
Yes fems, never trust politicians LOL.

Fathers were last night effectively declared an irrelevance in modern Britain.

Attacking the innocent !
Rob Layton

Is it possible for people to stoop so low as to pick on someone who never did any harm for the whole of his life ?
Human beings the world over have morphed into a hoard of fowl mouthed bullies and once again shown how bad we can be.
Everywhere on this planet people attack him without cause and why ?

Newspapers are full of attacks, the media attack him on a regular basis.
This man had no formal education, never hurt anyone, and always helps people however he can.
Such a person doesn't deserve the outright hatred that is heaped on him.

I know he is big enough to look after himself, but I and many others are sick of  people picking on our friend.
We are not allowed to say anything because if we do we are silenced, or called names.

I know of no one else who has had to go through the name calling and abuse as he has: not even Hitler.
This has gone on for years, and by some of the most prominent people that we have in every country.

Shame on society for picking on such an innocent.
How long will it go on ?

What the hells wrong with 'Sweetie'
Rob Layton

Now I dont want you to be to shocked by what I am going to say, so I am giving you a warning that I may use the 'S' word.
The BBC is so shocked that the 'S' word was used by Mr Obama that they gave it International coverage on their website.

See the Story

Before I go any further let me say I dont give a damn about who wins the democratic party elections.

Did you read this bit ?

It was the second time Mr Obama had been caught with the word - he used it referring to a factory worker in Pennsylvania in April.

Ms Agar said the apology surprised her but she was more concerned he had not answered her question.

"People in Michigan have to make a decision about who they're going to vote for... [Mr Obama] could take a second to say what he's going to do for them."

My GOD !  its the second time he's used the 'S' word  !

Just think we pay our TV licence fee for such wonderful coverage of a major international political incedent.
I should like to say that  this story may cause many politicaly correct people at the 'Beeb' to have nervous breakdowns:  but for the rest of us mere mortals, this story is a complete waste of licence payers money, and a waste of web space.
Maybe the person who reported this sory should get out and about a little more.
'Sweetie,Sweetie, Sweetie'
Call an ambulance for someone at Broadcasting house !
God these people are unreal.

How to dig holes !
Rob Layton

If you want to know how to dig a hole to bury yourself in you, should be watching the Labour party right now.
The people who supported the smoke ban within the labour party are even beginning to realise what a huge mistake it was.
Robbing people of holidays, a night out in pubs,or clubs or any other attack on civil liberty's is not a way to win the hearts and minds of any society.

The Labour party machine has been so effective in silencing the voice of smokers on this issue, that they have now realised that the same tactics maybe used against themselves someday.

The Stalinist type tactics used to impose and enforce this smoke ban has rebounded on them, for the people that they have marginalised, cannot even say why they voted against the Labour party for fear of the stigma that smokers feel when they speak up for their rights these days.
Smokers have been demonised, marginalised and discriminated against on such a vast scale that their apathy has now turned to anger.

How then can the Labour party gauge the depth of public opinion to find out if the smoke ban effected the Local election and Mayoral election votes ?
Any voter of any political colour can see that on the smoke ban issue alone, that such a flawed policy such as this, highlight's not only the incompetence of Labour legislation on this issue, but a failure to recognise and rectify the mistake of using such totalitarian tactics on its core voters.

There are many other sections of society that the Labour Government have used this tactic on, and this has been a step to far.
People have woken to the fact that the only effect way to hurt the Government: is to hit back at the ballot box.

If you look back at what I said weeks ago on this subject, you will see that on this, and other blogs, that I predicted what would happen at the polls correctly.
This does not make me a political genius, or a psychic, it makes me a good judge of human behaviour.

The Labour party and any other party's who fail to take the smoke ban factor into account, does so at its own political peril.
In digging this hole for themselves, they should try to stop burying themselves by amending this ban to be fairer to all, and by allowing smoking, and non smoking pubs and clubs.
Failure to do so will see a party that you don't want elected being put into power as a huge protest vote cast against a perceived undemocratic authoritarian Government.
On your head be it Labour !

Smoke ban robbed New Labour !
Rob Layton

Guess what, New Labour took a drubbing at the ballot box didn't they ?
What a shock !
I don't like gloating (not a lot), but like many people who warned what the outcome would be, I was right.
I notice that none of the Media mentioned the effects that the smoke ban has had on results of the local election results, probably because they have been briefed by the anti smoking lobby not to, tut, tut, tut.
This indicates that they are not listening again
.
The same, if not worse, will happen again Mr Brown, if you fail to act on this stupid smoke ban.
You have hurt far to many of your traditional supporters, and it seems they are unforgiving on this one.

Mr Brown must truly be hurting over the London mayoral elections.
Why do you think an outsider like Boris won it ?
Why, he offered to help amend the smoke ban to a fairer system of licencing for smoking, and non smoking pubs.
Make no mistake Boris and David Cameron, you will suffer the same folly as Mr Brown, if you renege on this one.

The BNP gained on there last results as people deserted New Labour in droves.
Local elections are always hard to call, but anyone could see the effect that the smoke ban had caused on millions of ordinary people who have no where to go for leisure now.

This has never been a health issue, it has always been an attack by a vicious and very vocal section of society upon another less well protected group.
This selfish, arrogant, bunch of do gooders have made a mockery of the democratic rights of the individual, and made a good cause into something to be fought against.

Every smoker I know has been mobilised into action they would never have taken before, because of the mean mindedness of this group of nasty's.
These people robbed people of the right to have a night out at their local, only to find out that by doing so: the pubs are closing by the hundreds, and because of their self righteous arrogant attitudes.
They cut their noses off to spite their own face.

I would like to say to this bunch of do-gooding bunch of totalitarian knowalls.
How do you feel now that the knock on effect is going to be that people will vote for anyone who will right this injustice, no matter what they stand for ?
Remember that you are responsible for everything that your mean minded attitude has brought about.

Make no mistake the smoke ban is bad law, and because you have driven the opposition underground you think that there is no one out here opposing you WRONG !
As the tide of opinion turns inevitably against you, the politicians will turn against a policy that is losing them seats in Parliament, closing pubs, causing unemployment, and an attack on the working class of this country.
This has already started, people are seeing the lies and hypocrisy of the anti smoking brigade.

Yes many people will be watching to see if Boris keeps his promise to amend to smoke ban for London.
These elections have proved that when you attack the rights of ordinary people: no politicians job is safe.
Democracy Rocks !
