Of the three, I would say that Ashton was the most deserving but there is no escaping the link between far left extremism the public health industry and the latter years of Blair's government in which the Labour party completely lost the plot. My fear is that if re-elected, Labour might favour the arrogant out of touch statism represented by organisations such as as the FPH over the will of the people that it is supposed to represent.Ivan Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-61442430069833592402014-10-01T23:58:45.369+01:002014-10-01T23:58:45.369+01:00They've never owned the social media space bec...They've never owned the social media space because they've never been wanted. The UK government had to pay for the formation of ASH because there was no-one who wanted (the govt's own words) an anti-smoking organisation in 1972; when Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep was in the charts they didn't exist. Their first 'employees' were Department of Health staff paid for from taxation and they've continued to abuse taxpayer funds to attacks taxpayers ever since. <br /><br /><br />Likewise Alcohol Concern, set up in 1985 by taxpayer funds to nag taxpayers not to drink alcohol. When we were in discos, having fun & listening to Billy Ocean's Caribbean Queen, Alcohol Concern didn't exist.<br /><br /><br />They now hold workshops on how to exploit social media but are incapable of getting it right, which is why they splutter and curse on Twitter when they have to talk to real people and find that they're not popular except amongst the inadequate, anti-social and oleaginous. And why they use the block button because they haven't got a mandate with the public. <br /><br /><br />Great vid, hope it gets shared lots. :)Dick_Puddlecotenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-5808349606792302212014-10-01T22:57:08.948+01:002014-10-01T22:57:08.948+01:00Well, not to sound too poncy about it, but I thoug...Well, not to sound too poncy about it, but I thought it was time we took back the social media space from the academics. They may have the power of their journals and their paywalled study's, the edifices of their ivory towers, but we have the power of the people. Viral marketing, especially if done humourously, can be an incredibly effective way of spreading a message in a way that they just do not have an answer for.<br /><br />And if they thought #jizzweasel was trolling, this will blow their tiny minds :)Entropynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-58083737012489792662014-10-01T16:01:05.932+01:002014-10-01T16:01:05.932+01:00One of the many that rely for their existence on t...One of the many that rely for their existence on the largesse of the British taxpayer. Not that the British taxpayer has any say in the matter. <br /><br />It really is about time that the government stopped funding all of these so-called 'charities'. We'd soon see which ones were valued by the public if they had to rely on donations. I rather think that FPH would be one of the first to disappear. I'm not sure if they get any funding from elsewhere - pharmaceutical companies, perhaps?<br /><br />As already observed, it would seem that their sole <i>raison d'ĂȘtre</i> is to be heavily involved in political lobbying. Do they do <b>anything</b> else?nisakimannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-19698678483295032082014-10-01T14:14:34.406+01:002014-10-01T14:14:34.406+01:00It isn't a charity.
