The ‘Non Smoking’ Law Goes Into Top Gear!

The non-smoking spies amongst us!
With money to burn and 80% of the public behind the new smoking law the government is going ahead with it’s complete ban in public places policy in mid next year. They are so confident that they have allotted a wheel barrow full of tax payers money to recruit thousands of ‘smoking spies’ who will report on the minority group of smokers found to be ignoring the ban. For those sceptics who believed the idea that we are now a nation that virtually police ourselves is a load of nonsense, ‘really need to be taken outside and literally have some sense kicked into their stupid little heads’. I can honestly say that ‘non smoker’ spies mingling in public places ‘snitching’ on smokers for financial gain is without doubt on of the most repulsive ideas banded about this year! To any smoker the idea is nothing short of being bounty hunted and wrangled in as some kind of diseased threat to the nation. But this idea isn’t new at all! Similar tactics were implemented sixty years ago to round up communities with certain traits in what we now know was a ‘final solution’ to get rid of. ‘Sounds very familiar doesn’t it?’. Smoking kills! Not only the person smoking the cigarette but the person standing next to them, their neighbour and their family in Australia? Or so we are lead to believe through the governments scientific findings on secondary smoking. One man smoking in an enclosed space. The same scenario with a window open. Two men smoking in a crowded room with the doors both open and closed. Six men, one cow and a horse with a hat on and so on! All scenarios tested with samples of air from non smoking persons lungs to find the pollutant intake reading. Unfortunately the results were nowhere near the mark required to stir public concern so they were jigged around by adding all the results together to give a staggering 22% plus of cigarette smoke inhaled in by a non smoker. To get these kind of figures the non smoker would require his or her nose taped up, a pipe stuffed down their throat with a constant barrage of cigarette smoke inhaled. In other words ‘Another Smoker?’ It seams that the Great British public ‘once again’ goes to war against a minority on largely falsified information from the ‘official sources’ of the government. Of course many people reading this will obviously shout aloud that it is ‘utter bollocks’ but these finding have made it to the national headlines several years ago but not as expected as ‘headliners’. Just enough to legally disclose the report knowing that the average member of the public will never read past the tits or the reality show reviews. Lets have a look at other areas of scientific facts that have been doctored for our easy reading? MMR TRIPPLE VACCINE, PERTUSIS VACCINE, FLOURIDE, ASPITAME, NUTS, EGGS, MILK, BOTTLED WATER, SUGAR, MERCURY FILLINGS, URINE THERAPY, THALIDOMIDE, BEEF, PAULTRY, FISH, GENETICALLY MODIFIED CROPS, B6 VITAMIN, HERBAL MEDICINE, AZT, AIDS, STEROIDS, PRESCRIPTION DRUGS! And there are many more. It is rumoured that there are still people in this country that believe the government did not lie about falsifying information before, during and after the Gulf war! Sounds incredible doesn’t it? But there are quite a few of these chumps still waking up in the morning who are convinced that politicians scientists and the like, simply do not lie to us! One female radio presenter from Talk Sport debating the smoking policy who was clearly sold down the river by the constant drip fed propaganda from the government and the scientific community boldly announced on the airwaves that smokers were guilty of being both ‘smelly and ignorant’! ! A usual childish and ‘ignorant’ ploy to name call when the argument fails to go the way you want it to but her remarks did fuel the fire of a barrage of smelly ignorant smokers to phone in to clear their name of this female cretins silly little outburst. Her co presenter stepped in mentioning that his smoking friends always portrayed a positive awareness for the needs of the non smokers and did their lighting up far from harms way. And this is true of most smokers but the typical ignorant non smoker like the lady radio presenter are way to far up their own arse to see this! And the fact that most public houses and restaurants up and down the country are ‘already’ non smoking establishments and have been for quite some time. Never have there been incidents where youths have been stabbed, shot, beaten to a pulp due to smoking cigarettes? Most of this unsociable and violent behaviour is attributed to copious amounts of alcohol intake sold in mainly ‘non-smoking’ pubs clubs and social venues. The fear of going out on the weekend getting glassed in the face or beaten to a pulp by a gang of drunken louts appears to pale in comparison when faced with the prospect of going home smelling of tobacco? Go figure!

Prescott Dodges Council Tax

Two Jags lapse of memory!
You would have thought after the first eighteen months of non-payment of council tax the bailiff’s would have been on Prescott’s doorstep demanding he be arrested, summoned to appear at the fines clinic court and then sentenced to three months in jail. Apparently these terms and conditions of failure to pay council tax apply to everyone? “Or do they?” As we have seen with numerous pensioners who have spent a few weeks with her majesties pleasure for council tax evasion are arrested tried and punished within months of their last non-payment! So why isn’t Two Jags behind bars banged up in the clink?
Retired pensioner aged 73 Sylvia Hardy from Exeter was thrown in the pokey on a seven day stretch for a paltry £53.71. Mary Rooney aged 75 did time for the whopping arrears of £360. With both their respective councils hot on the heels of these two ladies after just a few months of council tax arrears they get two choices, either pay up or go to jail. The judge who tried Mary Rooney told her she had plenty of time to pay before he clamped her in irons. There is a slight difference in time scales between Roony’s twenty four months fight and Prescott’s nine fucking years!!! Who the hell is responsible for letting council tax evasion slip unnoticed for NINE years anyway? Its not like they are unable to contact Prescott or not know where he lives. On average over seven million people see his grimacing fat ugly bastard face slapped all over the TV on a weekly basis. Normal folk get regular notices of failure to pay & red final demand letters stuffed through their door?
Nine years worth of council tax payment demands shoved through Prescott’s letterbox should at least be fifteen feet high by now! How in the world could Prescott have failed to see them when they toppled on top of him as he opened the door? ‘And what of the council?’ After the first twelve months alarm bells should have started sounding! After two years a squad car should have been seen in front of parliament to apprehend Prescott. Three years Prescott should have been sent down, convicted of being a tax dodger! Its hard to believe that Prescott or any of his family did not clap eyes on a single final demand.
But Prescott is far from being normal. He is allowed to punch people in front of rolling cameras! Park in handicapped spaces while he stuffs his face in Chinese restaurants? And roar around in two Jaguars while preaching to the populace about the greed of gas guzzlers needing to be governed!
“Go figure”
