Physical removal of the offending cigarette or the smoker ??<br /><br />Surely this is worth testing as thee could be a nice claim for 'compensashun' from this council if they assault anyone in the line of their persecution of smokers with a policy that is not legal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-52272288918335203912009-07-16T19:43:58.394+01:002009-07-16T19:43:58.394+01:00Dick Puddlecote So, considering there isn't a ...Dick Puddlecote So, considering there isn't a shred of evidence of harm from secondary smoking outdoors (nor will there ever be), what is the reasoning behind this?<br /><br />Quite simple Dick…the antis are on a roll, they’re on a feeding frenzy against smoking and smokers.<br /><br />Clearly from looking at the photo, you can plainly see the number of cars on the road pumping out pollution. Many moons ago I asked the British Heart Foundation, ASH, CRUK and the Dept Of Health this simple question.<br /><br />How many people were killed last year by ‘passive carbon monoxide poisoning’ from vehicle emissions, how are these deaths recorded, and how can they be validated with autopsy evidence.<br /><br />Of course, I didn’t get an answer…because as we know with ‘passive smoking’, there is no intrinsic medical or scientific evidence, nor has there ever been.<br /><br />I call it collective gullibility…where so-called ‘experts’ make pronouncements for the supposed good of everyone else, and we basically just fall into line because generally we are happy with what others tell us to do.<br /><br />After all, if we demonstrated in the street every time a law we didn’t like was passed – then the world just wouldn’t go around now would it?<br /><br />We need a wealthy benefactor, or a well-resourced pro-smoking group, who will drag these nipple-flippers into court where they have to present evidence, that smoking in public is harmful to the general public. How it would be possible to prove that it is harmful beyond reasonable doubt in a court of law…quite simply escapes me.<br /><br />A couple of cases of this kind would do immense damage to the antis. But don’t expect help from the Pubco’s…they’ve been nicely brainwashed and put back in their box. <br /><br />As for Lord Darzi…shit comes out of his mouth, and he speaks through his arsehole…all the same really!Chris:https://www.blogger.com/profile/16788771701805696946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-3909324448012407142009-07-16T19:08:31.857+01:002009-07-16T19:08:31.857+01:00DP - Tower Hamlets is not a toilet!

Like the ..."Really Darzi? Are you sure?"<br /><br />Like the many 'bans' in the open grounds of Hospitals that are completly unlawful but are probably enough to get a PCSO feeling your collar ( or "getting medievel on your ass " as our American friends might say ) enforcing a "law" that is not a law.<br /><br />The only people who obey these bans are employees for whom open air smoking within the grounds would be a disciplinary offence.bannedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02406037760273820029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-2976401301046224472009-07-15T23:54:07.877+01:002009-07-15T23:54:07.877+01:00Anti-smokers are wrecking the health of our nation...Anti-smokers are wrecking the health of our nation.<br /><br />I'd love to know how many would still be alive today if we hadn't spent so much on social engineering.<br /><br />BTW - beware anyone who pulls me up for breaking a law that doesn't even exist - I know my hugely limited rights whether the nannies like it or not.Helennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-12039858041789558792009-07-15T23:46:47.298+01:002009-07-15T23:46:47.298+01:00Like the open air car parks at South Trafford Coll...Like the open air car parks at South Trafford College which extend to about 2 mins walk from the buildings, which have signs saying "It is against the law to smoke on this site"timbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06985165416240833253noreply@blogger.com
