Smoking Bans KILL businesses - FACT!
Only a shortie today as Paul Nuttall has eloquently stated the obvious in the wake of the Publican's announcement that we are back up to 31 pubs a week CLOSING. It's not difficult to see why now is it! Ever since this ridiculous ban has been made into a law the industry has gone downhill, a bit further down hill and is now in full descent as people finally get fed up of eating out.
Paul Nuttall - him speaketh the truth
It had to happen. The novelty of beer companies falling all over themselves to provide cheap meals, so as to woo patrons back through the doors, is wearing off. In other words..... the full horror of the thing has hit them!
And do I care?
And do I give a crap?
And should I care?
Well, that'll be three emphatic NO's then for I have no sympathies with any of the masterminds behind this beer/pub/brewing lark as NONE OF THEM had the balls to say NO when this stupid law was presented to them. Instead they all jumped on the supposed gravy train of "millions of clean air drinkers just waiting to invade the pubs". Sorry to say but the clean air drinkers are nowhere to be found because the rule has been the same since time began: if you drink you use a pub and if you don't ..... you don't! My local typifies the present day situation as there is an abundance of 'clean air' in the building but no punters!What this spiteful, retsrictive & socially destructive law did was to effectively ban 68% of drinkers from their local boozers (thousands of which have since closed [Linda Bauld lies at will to keep her job folks] ), never to be replaced by those 'hillside waiters' the "clean air drinkers"! But then just how many lies did Mr B-Liar tell the people? but then..... he still is!
Paul Nuttall is only echoing what hundreds of thousands of people all over the country have been saying for 7 long years-provide CHOICE! Look what happened when braveheart Kerry Fenton did-the authorities nearly wet themselves in horror.
This supposed to be a democratic country isn't it? Well, it was once at any rate. If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times, the smoking ban was the result of corruption, lies, fabrications, manipulated statistics & total utter junk science (any snotty TC employee want to take me to court over that statement? Carry on then!) Using contemptible lies etc, TC appealed to the indignant side of the 75% that don't smoke to whip up a storm of protest against those who do choose to smoke. My God, they even had an idiot public doctor who was prepared to state that exhaust fumes were safer than SHS - Dr Douglas Noble still hasn't accepted my challenge, I wonder why? Very ignoble of him really
They steadfastly ignored Dr Kitty Little's marvellous work on cancer v deisel fumes etc, but look what the EU have just come up with regarding deisel exhausts-well, well, well, who'd have thought it?
Hit me with that stinkin' shit, hit me,,,,, hit meeeeee!
The spineless MPs that voted through the smoking ban should all be horse whipped, every single last one of them because they did not know the subject they were voting on, they hadn't got a clue about Arnott's "Smoke & Mirrors" campaign and worst of all, not one of them even considered the catastrophic cost to this country!-and it looks very much like there's more to come . Oh yes, due to the hysteria whipped up by Big Pharma & TC many of our totally gullible MPs who didn't smoke couldn't wait to do their 'public duty' and vote for a totally discriminatory law but their time is coming as May 2015 sees another round of elections - a General Election..... and if I were Camoron or Milliband I would be looking over my shoulder continuously, not to mention sleeping with one eye open.My old man used to say that "you could only piss for so long" and I never really understood what he meant..... I do now!
The health lobby have held such a hold on the politicians of this country that people have lost sight of reality! Some people will die shortly after being born and some may live to be 110 yrs old but the vast majority of us will 'peg out' somewhere in between. What the health lunatics have done is to creat a shroud of fear by telling everyone that they could (note the word could) easily die 10 years before their due date..... so obviously Eric Sykes should have lived to be 99!
Err, excuse me. Where, about our person, is the Date.Of.Death stamped? I can't find one can you? Ask any Dr when we are going to die and what of and he/she won't have a clue - therefore there can be no such thing as a premature death caused by...............!
Similarly, Godfrey Bloom asked the EU parliament for 3 names of persons actually killed/murdered/choked to death by SHS. Again the answer came back unanswered - why?
Now is the time to fire on these malingering no goods sitting in Westminster trying to get by on £70,000 + expenses per annum. Now, as the health loons start the assassination of drink (what hope do the pubs have I ask), by stating a blatant lie (£21,000,000 cost per annum-how ridiculous) we have to ask ourselves the question: why are there no members of the Common Sense party actually sitting in Westminster? Come next May, I think there will be-and about time too for this country is tottering, teetering on the brink and it will soon collapse unless Common Sense prevails!
I'm in..... are you?
I'm in and a proud member of the peoples Army. No more voting for the quisling EU open door anti democratic facilitators of our destruction. B7
ReplyDelete31 pubs closing a week ? Shows that the British Beer & Pub Association and CAMRA Campaign For Real Ale are spineless and are not interested in saving pubs.
ReplyDeleteAt least The Scottish Licensed Trade Association called for the ban to be amended and admits the problem.
Paul Waterson, chief executive of the Scottish Licensed Trade Association said back in 2012
: “Our ban is one of the most draconian in the world."

ReplyDeleteGreat phrase Phil.
There's very little CAMRA etc can do outside of political change.

Yes, for all those that have been saying and campaigning to bring about an end to the ridiculous Smoking Ban because of the absolute damage it would cause the country there is no joy in being proven Right. But, Right we are and now something Must be done to save what is left of our once great Industry. Governments have Lied and continue to but for thousands of "former" customers they also know that a Reform of the Ban will save the Industry from future closures, they know that allowing the Majority of customers (smokers) to have and enjoy their Social lives once again not only Pubs and Club will be saved but a great many Jobs. Yes it is time for common sense. It is time for Smokers to make some Demands, it is time to end the Discrimination.

... there is no joy in being proven Right.
DeleteThe biggest problem is that despite your being proven right by the facts, Tobacco Control doesn't deal in facts. They deal in lies and spin, so according to all the press releases (and only TC get to have their press releases accepted - BT and its affiliates are by law excluded), the smoking ban has been a huge success, the hospitality industry loves it because business has never been so good, non-smokers are descending in droves on those places they couldn't go before because of the-stench-and-I-have-to-wash-my-clothes-immediately-after-I-get-home is no longer there and people are giving up smoking like billy-ho because of it and the NHS is saving billions and there are no longer any heart attacks anywhere. All of which is palpable bullshit, but when it's on the Beeb etc 24/7, it gets swallowed hook, line and sinker.
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
