Smokers Naming Rights

View from the Top Deck of a Routemaster Replacement

In the past they used to build grand memorial monuments to society's greats, and such a memorial is located in Tooley Street, Bermondsey SE1.

I have frequently passed this memorial unaware of its significance, but the necessity of having to catch a bus on the South side of Tower Bridge led me to investigate further.

The memorial is to Ernest Bevin a Giant of a man in all ways.

Ernest's memorial plaque reads:-

-- Ernest Bevin a forceful and inspiring of democratic principals.

-- He gained a place in men's hearts few could equal

A glowing testament to a pivotal character in our not so distant past and a man described as an English patriot and ----- smoker.

What would Ernest make of the Hard working Smoking staff of Southwark Council being denied shelter and banished in all weathers to Potters Fields yards from his memorial for an enjoyable legal smoke?.

Unlike yesteryear today's politicians are engrossed in social engineering, riding roughshod over the public. Politicians never admit that they have made a mistake are selective on Human rights and grossly fund the social engineering project that is the smoking ban -----.

How have we allowed this to happen? ------ What of the future? ------ What of the democratic principles attributed to Ernest? ------ How can we mark this smoking nadir for future generations and forewarn that a few zealots empowered with a bottomless pit of cash have been engaged to hoodwink the public.

------I am suggesting a monument, located just a short ride away on the number 78 bus outside Ash's offices at 144 - 145 Shoreditch High Street E1 6JE.

I have commissioned a friend to produce an artistic impression of the visual appearance (left), ------ thank you Zimbabwe 52.

All that is needed is for readers to Name individuals or organisations that have used gutter tactics to justify their anti smoking social engineering policies and to provide a suitable monument inscription.

Future generations need to be aware that their freedoms are easily eroded and the need to remain vigilant and steadfast.

Here are a few nominations----The monument and inscription could be dedicated jointly or individually to:----

Deborah Arnott, Ash Director ------ Mary Honeyball, MEP, ------ Martin Dockrall, Ash, ------ NHS Trust executives imposing smoke bans on the pretence that they are legal

Or maybe:-

Those in the pay of smokefree paid to post on internet forums , (you know who they are). ------ The compilers of phony loaded anti smoking questionnaire's, ------, The inventors of incomprehensible anti smoking statements and statistics.

Or Maybe:-

------, Sandwell Council, for prosecuting an old lady, ------ Those who discriminate against incarcerated patients and rob them of the right to smoke, those that denied smoking prisoners in the Isle of Man a smoke. --------- The list is endless:-

This monument is dedicated to the honest hard working citizens of the British Isles who have been subjected to anti smoking social engineering policy, they shall not forget the uncaring, Heartless,

------------ Over to you --------------------------------------

Quantitative Easing Solved

According to Economicshelp.org the definition of quantitative easing involves increasing the money supply by printing money and more money. We are not talking a few fivers here or a few barrow loads of money but billions of pounds. As we all know Gordon was known as the Iron Chancellor, certain authorities would question this description, but hey -- you would think Gordon would be prudent and looking for ways to save squillions of pounds. So why print such vast sums of money? --- he can save squillions of pounds, make the majority of the population happy and save your local pub at the same time, ---- here are a few cost saving clues:- -------------------- feel free to add you own. The payment of NHS staff to force residents of secure hospitals to stop smoking against their will. Saving ££££££££££££££££££££££££££s Intrusive anti smoking radio adverts:- Saving £££££££££££££££££££££££££££s Intrusive anti smoking Google style small adverts.

Get the idea Gordon?? , no need for quantitative easing, you never asked any ones permission to waste such vast sums of taxpayers money. I am sure the public would prefer that the money be spent on equipping our soldiers or an increase in one of the most pitiful pensions in Europe. One last tip Gordon, can you please ensure that government departments inform the public that anti smoking measures are not free as they are keen to intimate, they are costing the UK taxpayer squillions £££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££. And when the time comes and the money runs out and adverts are not being placed with National and local newspapers, the newspapers may decide to print the truth on second hand smoke. Cue the Sun, the Star, the Mirror, the Waltham Forest Guardian and every newspaper in the land:------------

ALL SMOKERS ARE GUILTY

We live in the UK, we pride ourselves on living in a country where justice always prevails, the true guilty will be found guilty, the innocents will be found innocent. If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear, ---- everyone is protected except law abiding tax paying smokers it seems. Yesterday Chris Minihan, from Liverpool was found guilty of a smoking offence with no tangible evidence and was fined £715.00 including costs of just because he is a confessed smoker who allegedly used a perfectly legal product an e-cigarette. in the cab of his vehicle. According to the smoking Gestapo officer enforcement officer Yvonne Taylor, she watched his arm come in and out of the window with a cigarette, which got smaller on each occasion. She said "I could clearly see smoke emitting from the cab and the motion of him flicking ash,"------ "I then observed the cigarette stub flying from the driver's hand on to the grassed area below." The trouble is as he is a confessed smoker, the prosecution do not need any evidence, They failed to Produce:- Any samples of ash:- Any Cigarette stub:- Any photographic evidence, even a picture of the alleged cigarette stub that was clearly indicated to have been on the grassed area below:- The smoking Gestapo officer enforcement officer was described as a as a credible witness by the chairman of the bench but failed to produce any tangible evidence, it seems that you do not need any tangible evidence if you want to prosecute a smoker. Quite rightly Mr Minihan is lodging an appeal and may take the appeal all the way to the European courts of human rights. In the true spirit of Elmer Fudd, council officials stated Mr Minihan had been offered the opportunity to pay the fines but had declined and opted for court action and the council will continue to enforce the legislation on littering and smoking in accordance with national guidelines and council policy. This begs the question why the fuck should Mr Minihan even consider paying a fine for alleged littering where is the evidence? He has broken no national guidelines by smoking an E-cigarette, and is the stated -- council policy --- a secret policy to persecute innocent smokers. And to any smoking Gestapo officer a*seho*e reading this in the words of Elmer Fudd:- Dis begs the qwestion why shouwd Mw Minihan even considew paying a fine fow awweged wittewing whewe is the evidence? He has bwoken no nationaw guidewines by smoking an E-cigawette, and is the stated -- counciw powicy --- a secwet powicy to pewsecute innocent smokews. Why don't you get a pwopew job instead of pewsecuting innocent waw abiding tax payews and acting wike a twumped up wittwe Hitwew.

THE BAD SAMARITAN

Its now the 21st century and we live in a so called civilised society, Gordon Brown our prime minister proudly boasts that he is listening, understands and getting on with the Job.




Has Gordon brown listened to and understood approx 25% of the population? namely highly taxed law abiding smokers?.

The answer is a clear resounding NO---the only job that he is interested in is supporting every initiative to bully smokers into submission and wasting millions of pounds in a government quest.

Only yesterday it was anounced that patients at Rampton failed to overturn a smoking ban.

The patients at the hospital have been in a legal battle for 2 years stating that the ban amounts to discrimination and violates human rights.

The poor souls at Rampton do not have a choice of popping outside for a theraputic calming cigarette they are incarcerated with no choice, and now thanks to the ruling of the three appeal judges the patients are being forced to stop smoking against their will.

It is only 24 months ago that the smoking ban was introduced on the pretext of protecting workers from so called second hand smoke, this piece of legislation is now being used to bludgeon vunerable people / patients into submission.

• Casting our eye back to April 2008 ---- Mentally ill Patients detained at a Chester Hospital will have fewer rights than prisoners.

• Depressed taxman kills himself over smoking ban ---- We think the ban killed him, he was so depressed he hardly ever went out.

• NHS want to close smoking room to termially ill patients ---- It doesn't matter if patients are terminally ill said Dr Spencer-Jones.

• And to all our hospitals and health trusts that are inventing their own non legally enforcable smoking bans to suit their own agenda.

There are hundreds of other examples where the weak and vunerable smoker are being targeted in a crusade reminicant of medieval England.

Gordon " The Bad Samaritan" Brown should be aware that the Smoking ban is based on bad science adequatley described by times online.

Whether Gordon likes it or not he is the Prime Minister, --- he has the power to turn spiteful vindicive anti smoking policy into a fair balanced policy, --- he can offer choice and can heal division --- Gordon can give the OK for an indoor smoking facility at Rampton Hospital, he can ease the patients frustration and agitation --- the good samaritan would.

SMOKING BAN IS A ROAD TO FAILURE

The Government and main news media are keen to report that the smoking ban is a huge success, compliance here, compliance there the trumpet and herald.

While they have been focusing on Pubs / Businesses etc, our motorists are firmly in the fast lane smoking the metaphorical Churchill cigar.

And at the end of the drivers working day there are no dead bodies to dispose of,
no casualties to be piled up back at the works depot, no mountains of bodies hidden behind the factory gates, there are no second hand smoke victims.

Where are they hiding the victims of so called Second hand smoke?

Stand besides any of our main roads, you will be pleasantly surprised:-

• White van man and his workforce all crammed in the drivers compartment, all enjoying their cigarettes while cocking a snoop at authority.

• Council vehicles all proudly emblazoned with the local authorities logo, council operatives all seated in the drivers compartment drawing on their Mayfair Lights.

• Mondeo man or todays equivalent, no smoking sticker in the window, representatives and their customers snug in the leatherette interior, all enjoying a Super King or perhaps a Berkeley.
  

Our motoring population are giving the big thumbs down to the smoking ban and long may they continue.

The smoking ban is on the road to failure help it on its way.

UNEMPLOYED? BECOME A SMOKEFREE MOUTHPIECE

There are now 2.38million unemployed in the UK and I am one of the statistics, personally I am pissed off looking for that elusive vacancy with some decent pay.

We all know that job seeking is no fun, so when you see a glut of vacancies for dental hygienists with salaries ranging from £48,720 - £50,400 you become curious as to what they actually do.

Well what does a dental hygienists lot consist of ?-- It appears that one of the main priorities of a hygienist apart from raking in the cash is to be a smoking cessation operative. Out of the 80 hygienists jobs advertised at Trovit jobs all vacancies quote smoking cessation in the job description.

Dental hygienists have become another government frontline anti smoking mouthpiece and you are paying through the nose for their unwelcome advice. Further investigation at the British Dental Journal outlines their mission.

• Dental patients who smoke need access to local services to help them stop smoking.

• A dentist who recognises a patient as a smoker has a duty to inform the patient of the options open to them.

• And:- Dentists can help their patients to stop smoking by recognising oral signs of tobacco use, informing patients of these and asking patients whether they wish to stop.

In other words the Dentist or Dental Hygienist have become the new anti smoking snoops, offering unwanted pressured methods to try to get you to stop smoking at all costs, all paid for by you.

A card arrived today advising an unemployed me that my dental check up is due. I will dutifully attend but will look at the £50,000 per year hygienist through gritted teeth.

There are now 2.38 million unemployed there are probably more than 2.38 million vacancies in the anti smoking / smoking cessation sector. Anyone willing to take the Kings Shilling to become a smokefree mouth piece.
