There's A Kind Of Hush

The Puddlecotes have enjoyed Bank Holiday Monday to the full, though I see that some rabid anti-smoking nutters were faithfully glued to their computers.

Just a quick addendum to my earlier post about ASH's hilarious report today, which has been picked up by precisely no-one (is that the faint sound of tumbleweed I hear?).

It seems that not only are their accusations tired and desperate, their language is as unimaginative as it's always been.

"[...] the chief strategy of tobacco control is to smear the opposition by accusing them of being tobacco industry moles." - anti-tobacco activist Michael Siegel talking of his training methods in the 80s & 90s.

It's the way they tell 'em.
