Hmm, I wonder why voter turnouts are so low?<br /><br /><br />On the other side of the coin, I reckon the Tories have just announced that the 2015 election campaign has started, and they're off to a head start. ;)Dick_Puddlecotenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-1841445385191067052013-07-12T21:16:35.880+01:002013-07-12T21:16:35.880+01:00A salute to you too. :)A salute to you too. :)Dick_Puddlecotenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-7239204542752921092013-07-12T21:00:11.108+01:002013-07-12T21:00:11.108+01:00A welcome victory for common sense, even though it...A welcome victory for common sense, even though it may be short-lived given the stupendous amounts of taxpayer money the Neo-Puritans have access to. <br /><br />It would be nice to think that the politicians are waking up to the fact that 'Public Health' and it's fake charity hangers-on have been up to their eyes in skulduggery and charlatanism for years, but I'm not yet convinced of that. Nevertheless, it is certainly a step in the right direction. <br /><br />If, however, the joyless ones have any say in the matter, the plain packs result will probably mean that there will be no more public consultations. The public just can't be trusted to vote the 'right' way, can they?nisakimannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-54504408219597091862013-07-12T20:45:04.360+01:002013-07-12T20:45:04.360+01:00I salute you, Sir.
