And the survey says Simon..... !

     Some of you may be a little surprised that our anti-anti-tobacco guru Mr Simon Clark has suddenly decided to oust me from his facebook page for something that he found abhorrent. Now why he found the truth abhorrent is totally beyond me...but he did, bless him. So, despite Simons millions of words demanding that the truth be spoken regarding SHS, 3rdH/S, standing next to a smoker etc he blatantly fails in that very sphere himself! Here is the 'crime' from a facebook post: I stated, quite clearly that "I couldn't wait for the day when that destroyer of lives & lifestyles, Deborah Arnott, was diagnosed with some/any form of cancer. It would be Karma of some magnitude" - or words very similar.
     Now many of you know how I work so you won't be surprised at the result of a survey (1,000 people asked) I have been quietly carrying out over the past 31/2yrs and the result may well upset a few people-one of them being Mr Simon Clark himself.
     Q: As cancer is now literally a 50/50 chance to strike any person, anywhere, any time, please signify clearly where your 'cancer arrow' would be aimed:-

1.       Jane Deville-Almond
2.       Deborah Arnott
3.       Linda Bauld
4.       Amanda Sandford

      Now this might surprise a few but despite her claims of "let them die", the 'Devil' woman did not come top. And nor did Linda Bauld who hides away up in Stirling University, fearing that Frank Davis might just 'chuck a brick' through her window-for all the pathetic statistics she felt the need to bring about. Poor old Amanda Sandford was equally bereft of votes even though her beef was simply that smokers should refrain from smoking outside of their own homes! No, ladies & gentlemen of the world the clear winner was 'our debs', yep, 'dirty debs' who's lying, cheating, manipulating ways conned Blair's government to vote in a total smoking ban - the worst in Europe! (Incidentally, did you know that Cherie Blairs sister has just been defrocked as a Trustee after 'mislaying' a mere £90,000 of charity money!?) Result in full:-

1.       Deborah Arnott = 903 'best' wishes
2.       Jane Deville-Almond = 43 'best' wishes
3.       Linda Bauld = 39 'best' wishes
4.       Amanda Sandford = 15 'best' wishes

     So you see Simon it is not just myself that has such heinous thoughts about a woman that wants to deny all smokers their freedom of choice & expressions, in fact it seems that it is shared by 90% of those surveyed. Will you be barring all of them from your facebook page, FOREST website and/or whatever else you control? You see Simon, the survey was conducted purely to guage smokers reactions to the smoking ban and those at the forefront of the campaign. The result says it all Simon, it is the will of the people my friend! And if you are so worried about their tender, caring sides why on earth are you castigating them (anti-smoking mob) for their latest, so called, hard hitting smoker hating adverts depicting the journey of tar through the body? One further thought for you to mull over Simon: having suffered severely from and, happily beaten cancer, I think that I am perfectly qualified to state my opinion on who SHOULD have a dose of 'Mr C' (reality) and who shouldn't for there are plenty of non smokers who fall foul of the awful disease are there not my friend? In fact, is it not a fact that 80% of lung cancer cases appertain to non smokers? Anyway, I am a great believer in freedom of speech, such a shame that some people are so easily offended by such!

 

An idiot with long hair & very short brain!

     Talking about sensitivities & feelings is it not time that these idiot Liberal Lefties were simply locked up in an asylum, BEDLAM springs to mind? What on earth are they doing charging into the BLIGHTY Cafe ranting on about Churchill being a racist? Are they totally deluded? Has Soros finally got his financial weight behind the education system in this country and so turning the minds of the young into indoctrinated mush? Boris Johnson summed these idiots up perfectly by saying:

"This outrageous behaviour represents the hard left's politics which is of the most puerile and ignorant kind."

     Such a shame that someone didn't have the presence of mind to employ a fire extinguisher and 'wash' the filth from a perfectly nice, totally British cafe. Halimo Hussein, 24, a politics student, who is the co-president of Equality and Liberation at SOAS, University of London, later asked the owner to apologise to the local community.

     Excuse me here but there is only one side that needs to apologise and it is NOT the cafe owner. In truth 'HH' & Co should all be publicly flogged for disrespecting one of our greatest ever leaders.

     And with even greater stupendous lunacy the Welsh are considering giving 16-17yr olds the right to vote, the surest sign ever that Labour are desperate to win the next election at any cost. (Didn't Corbyn want to charge non whites a tenner less for some conference in Loughborough but has had to chuck that idea!) What in God's good name do the youth of today know about politics? Absolutely sod all is the answer and the next thing we'll see is Corbyn giving out free i-pads to all 16-17 yr olds if they vote Labour - after all, he has now declared that he will GIVE all 8,000 homeless a free house when he becomes PM! So, he is happy for all those working to struggle their socks off to keep the old head above water, without the hope of property purchase, but those who simply sit around doing nothing, except occupy pavements, will all get a house - and no doubt all the bills payed for and a bit of pocket money! The man is a 'Forest Gump' (stupid is as stupid does!)

     Back to the great smoking debate, which is still closing businesses down, we find that ALL councils are now cutting back on smoking cessation financial backing as ALL local councils now have seriously BIG budget problems. We said from the very start of this lunacy that the financial costs would kill the silly law and so it is proving as government subsidies have plummeted from £25m - £5m - oh I say!

     And now for the top story that caps everything!

     A gentleman by the name of Michael Fisher (Teeside area) has opened up a specialist Cannabis Club where smokers, for a modest fee of £35 per annum, can smoke their heads off in complete comfort and also play pool - without fear of prosecution re: smoking in an enclosed space! Pardon!!!

 

     'EXHALE' - smoke & play pool!

     North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner Arfon Jones visited the Middlesbrough-based club on Saturday, after attending a football game, to talk about how it set up and how it works. He has backed the use of cannabis medicinally, and said: ‘I visited Teeside Cannabis Club because I wanted to see how it was run. The members bring their own cannabis, it isn’t grown on the premises and they’re not dealing or supplying. So as far as Mr Plod are concerned everything is OK - so there is absolutely nothing to stop licensees opening up their own private (cannabis?) smoking rooms so as to try to regain some of the lost patronage since 2007!

      Apparently there are now 5 counties now very lax on low level cannabis users and this can only spread further, especially as a club is touted for North Wales (now I wonder who might be behind that idea?)
     Just goes to show you that you never know what's next around that proverbial corner but life goes  inexorably onward. In a country that is ever faster sinking due to the imbecilic PC brigade who are frightened to death to say a wrong word it is very nice to see a little tolerance shown to those who enjoy that which a warped & retarded government deem illegal.

Keep fighting the good fight folks, I know I will!

The absolution

It's all there..... except the people!

     Greetings to you all as we fast approach the New Year where I have no doubt whatsoever that TC (tobacco control) will come up with whatever lies & fabrications they can dream up to say that they must continue to be funded.....courtesy of the public teat!
     The trouble is that now they are 'at war' with their own funders; ie, their own local councils who, perchance, are now under the severe hammer from the government. £millions are being cut from all local budgets and councils up and down the country are being forced to invest in the best possibilities of 'mucho returno' of wedge.
     'Enter the Dragon' as we suddenly find that local councils are turning to the tobacco companies to invest as they are obviously showing the meatiest returns. Oh how the worms all turn when it comes to financial pressures... we did state from the vefry start that the gov'ts £25m per annum buget would soon dry up

  

"Investments in cigarette giants including Phillip Morris and Imperial Tobacco by local authorities in England have increased by hundreds of millions of pounds over the past five years. At the same time, councils have nearly halved the money available to help smokers to beat their addiction."

     Investments in cigarette giants including Phillip Morris and Imperial Tobacco by local authorities in England have increased by hundreds of millions of pounds over the past five years. At the same time, councils have nearly halved the money available to help smokers to beat their addiction.  

You really couldn't make this up could you!

     Windsor & Maidenhead Council have upped their investments from £5m in 2012-13 to £27m in the last financial year. WOWEE!...and to top that up Theresa May’s constituency cut funding for smoking-cessation services from £278,000 to £97,000. That sounds like the rent on a shoebox & a phone operatives wages for a year to me! You see folks as time goes inexorably by the truth eeks out a little bit at a time. Now we all know that smoking bans were based on total kidology, especially as all those really boffin types have now given up trying to locate a death certificate that states the cause of death was smoking and we also now know that the alcoholic consumption figures were simply dreamed up by some idiot in a white coat that had an aura of credibility AND the media behind him. Interestingly a lady from the BBC phoned me just before Christmas asking what effect the smoking ban had done to the shisha community? I replied, quite truthfully that "apart from closing hundreds of businesses up and down the country and costing local councils a small fortune in business rates etc, the smoking ban had not affected them at all as they simply went round to each others houses to socialise." She was not amused at all at that and when I told her that "the smoking bans had incurred more problems for the government then ever imagined because of the massive scale of 'black market tobacco' " she simply asked me if I new of any suppliers! My response was quite blunt, " no, and if I did I certainly wouldn't be telling the likes of YOU!" She slammed the phone down on me so I somehow have a feeling that I didn't say what she wanted to hear.
     Thanks to Simon C we now find out that despite massive cuts in expenditure in all counties Public Health England has somehow found the resources to waste yet another £1m on our long awaited & much beloved New Year anti smoking propaganda that we all 'bust a gusset' to see, it is incredible that they now declare that there are 'only' 7 million smokers left in this country for having driven around Leicester a few times recently there must be 10% of them living here - and Louise Ross (our very own TC guru) is a great advocate of vaping as the way forward! I suppose we will all have to put up with this enormous waste of OUR MONEY but I fear that it won't alter the smoking rate one iota.

The once superb Shakespeare Inn

     Now then, here's something that could cause you shed a tear first but then, when you think of the connotations it becomes a barrel of laughs. We have a beautiful public house on Braunstone Lane going by the delightful name of "The Shakespeare Inn". Very popular the place had a good client base and provided some superb food. However, in 2007 something happened to change all that! The place rapidly went downhill and Everards were all set to close the place down-with it now becoming a liability as the 'millions simply waiting for smoke free pubs' (promised by Mr B Liar) never seemed to materialise. Indeed, not many years ago the remaining locals set too and completely redecorated the place, bringing it back to life. However not too long ago the pub had another sign attached to it (God only knows who they thought would buy a 'has been' pub doomed to more failure - as a pub). However, due to a family bereavement I found out that this once dear old boozer is.....

The now much quieter 'Shakespeare' funeral home

      Yes indeedy folks the death of a great pub created a rather large funeral parlour as the redoubtable Pender family who have built up a good steady business over the decades. Does anyone not see the irony here? Smoking ban kills businesses and a now dead & defunct pub is a home (temporarily) for the dead & defunct. Congratulations Mr Blair, hopefully, one miserable day, your lying, stinking, manipulative carcass may rest here in the cellar which, being very cold, is ideal for being turned into a Chapel of Rest! Check the two photographs out folks, I assure you that they are exactly the same property.
     You simply CANNOT get proof any more concrete than the above as to what smoking bans have done to this country yet we still have the health loons trumpetting 'success'. Where is this fantastical success for apparently there are still 7m smokers (11m+ actually) and roughly the same number of people happen to die each year, whether they be smokers or non-smoker!
     I wish you all a very Happy New Year and have a little poser for you to boggle your brains over:

     With there being just over 200 types of cancer available for the human body to suffer ( and an inordinate amout of other 'smoking related illnesses'), can you name the only cancer where there is absolutely no way that any of these crooked, so called 'scientific attestors' CAN attach or blame smoking for? 

A brilliant light doth shine in the darkness

h/t to Frank Davis:
     It is not often that 'a brilliant light doth shine' in the anti tobacco world of darkness but it just goes to prove that there really is a Gaod out there somewhere! We have been greeted with a Christmas present of some magnitude as the very well paid vulture of anti smoking hypocrisy is now suddenly in the spotlight, for something that is absolutely nothing to do with smoking, tobacco, vaping or any other such pleasures of mankind.

 
The untouchable that likes to leer!

     Nope 'our arch enemy of human pleasures' has fallen foul of the latest plague to beset America - 'Sexual Harassment' of the fairer sex - oh how that light shine bright! Oh yes indeedy, Stanton Glantz has finally had his come-uppance as a researcher has filed a lawsuit against this cretinous person who is, in my humble opinion, no better than a slug pellet. And.....apart from sexually harassing the poor girl, a former researcher, he then stole the credit for her work! I think 'slug pellet' is a somewhat generous term for this creature who suddenly 'saw the light' and got himself heavily involved in the immense paypacket business of anti tobacco.

 In the lawsuit, filed Wednesday in San Francisco Superior Court, Eunice Neeley is seeking damages over allegations that Stanton Glantz, her former adviser and director of UCSF’s Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education, repeatedly stared at her body, forced her to hug him, and otherwise displayed “misogynistic and racially insensitive” behavior.

In one instance in late 2016, she says, when she and Glantz were alone together in a dimly lit room, Glantz described an orgy scene from a movie. Glantz assumed Neeley, who is black, had watched it because the main characters were also black, although Neeley had never seen the film, according to the lawsuit.
And Glantz believed he could get away with anything because he had tenure, Neeley alleges. She heard that he told students having tenure means “you can rape the Vice Chancellor’s daughter and still have a job,” according to the lawsuit.

     Oh wowee! It seems to me that our fraudster anti tobacco 'expert' ( obtained a BSc in aerospace engineering from the University of Cincinnati in 1969, an MSc in applied mechanics from Stanford University in 1970) has met his match for Eunice Neely is not a white girl - and that opens up a whole new racist ballgame folks. I would imagine that our 'cheering, leering Professor is already finding people known to him sidestepping him on the sidewalks-especially the ladies. Hopefully other females will now come forward, fully emboldened by Eunice Neely and testify to this slug pellets miserable view of women and then he will be, happily or unhappily, incarcerated for some considerable time - much to the joy of all those who enjoy any form of tobacco. looks like Glantz has stuck his fingers into one too many pies this time - isn't life a bitch sometimes) has met his match for Eunice Neely is not a white girl - and that opens up a whole new racist ballgame folks. I would imagine that our 'cheering, leering Professor is already finding people known to him sidestepping him on the sidewalks-especially the ladies . It would seem that the smoker hating Professor has stuck his dodgy digits into one too many pies this time and I'm sure that many of our smoking tolerant friends will wish a 'long & healthy' stay in one of America's toughest prisons where he can preach to all those who love a cigarette!  
It would seem also that the WHO in their usually bullying way have caused a mighty financial discrepency in Zimbabwe...... as the nation is now bankrupt and they are begging the white farmers to return! Now let me see, wasn't it only a few years ago that the WHO declared that all tobacco plantations (the countries biggest single source of income) should be destroyed and paprika (or other spices) should be grown instead? I wonder what the WHO have to say about that idea now that the truth of their economy has come out?
     Further to my 'letter assaults' on the mental health departments of the Glenfield Hospital (Leicester) it now seems that I have been excommunicated by the very highly paid Dr Peter Miller as he obviously does not want to answer my rather searching questions and is quite happy to let his mentally ill smoking patients suffer all manner of anguish whilst under his jurisdiction. Obviously the mental wellbeing is less important than their idiotic hospital grounds no smoking policy! 
     And talking of such, we all know that one of the main arguments made by the anti tobacco brigade is that of smokers breathing their final breaths through lungs blackened by smoking & misuse. As Dave Copeland eloquently describes here, if a smoker gets lung cancer the lung will eventually turn black - but the same applies to a non smoker too! The anti tobacco industry don't bother to tell you the 2nd bit of that information but it certainly answers the question as to why 80% on non smokers die with blackened lungs! Nice one Dave.
     Talking of lung problems it seems that the Harvard School of Public Health have now decided that smoking e-cigs is a dangerous art as it can cause 'popcorn lung' (so no more smoking at the fairground folks ) . Seriously tho folks, doesn't this smack of anti tobacco tactics;ie, come up with a new problem and then declare that 'oh but so much more research is needed', which of course keeps the $$$'s rolling in. You see the problem here folks don't you? The WHO organisation (other research organisations by their association with the WHO) are now all suspected of creating false results to suit the cause - and we've been saying this for the past 11/12 years. Perhaps, because they are all control freaks, this is why such as Stanton Glantz feel so easy when subjecting women to physical or verbal assults, using innuendo or simple gutter talk to/at them?
     Sad to report that what we foretold many moons ago has now become increasingly frequent as prison riots and cases of violence are breaking out here & there courtesy of the ridiculous no smoking rules. Person is in prison therefore that prison is that persons home - smoking is not banned in the home! Hypocrisy by gov't at its very best. The smoking ban is not doing the Holy Bible much good either as bibles are becoming thinner & thinner by the day! Our Justice system, health system & POA all ignored my letters so it is only a matter of time before I write to them stating that the PO's death is/was totally down to them.
     On a separate not I find it truly staggering that we have a government still trying to barter its way through the BREXIT procedure when in actual fact, if we simply walked away the collapse of this totally corrupt, self imposed bureaucratic pile of crap would simply collapse! We are actually funding this monsters survival - remove the money and the beast dies. What i find extremely insulting is the fact that Mrs May & Co are happily letting migrants in by the score, knowing that we have a severe housing shortage and knowing that many of our ex-forces are 'sleeping rough'! Of course iot is the EU who have told her to accept migrants from all corners of the world but they forget that we voted to leave the Brussels cesspit.
     What is even more incredible is the fact the the British police are now hounding what is generally termed as 'Far Right' groups who have even been labelled as 'extremists' - how, why? The EDL stand for Britain for British, Britain First stand for (amazingly) Britain to be put first and not the hordes of economic migrants from nations far away. I have no doubt that the break-away party (For Britain) will soon come under fire from secret gov't orders as Anne Marie Waters takes no prisoners and certainly does not mince her words when it comes to immigration. Look what happened to the first mentioned, the EDL in Coventry when they wanted to protest-disgraceful behavious by the police! 
     Now look at the disgraceful behaviour by Kent police after Jayda Franzen & Paul Golding have now been charged with harassment after trying to interview three men muslim men were in court (& convicted) of rape and other sexual offences against young girls. It is the 'establishment' trying to subdue the people but what they obviously don't realize that the era of discontent is growing at an alarming rate. The police force are supposed to protect the people of this country, noy trap them, charge them & convict them of idiot crimes that should never be in court. Note here that Mrs May, now obviously deluded, has declared that Sharia law HAS a place within British law! No Mrs Theresa Dopey May, Sharia law has absolutely no place in British Law and must never be allowed. We have our own laws in this country - which count for very little in other backward nations who like chopping heades off, stoning women to death & rewarding rapists.

'Poor' little Lily Allen, ripped off by those 'oh so deserving migrants'!

      And, just to warm the very cockles of the hearts of those of us that understand the reality of this migrant invasion, one of our 'little starlets' has come home for Christmas.....only to find that her home, so kindly rented out to these people, is no longer her home for the forseeable future as they have now refused to budge! Sweet justice really for a liberal minded, easy going idiot that has no idea what the man on the street is suffering! Can you have any sympathy for her? Sorry Lily but I certainly can't! 
      And, just to top up Glantz's misery Austria has decided to shelve their proposed smoking bans as they are happy as they are - probably looked at all the other countries (especially this one) and realised what smoking bans do to the economy! Probably also realised that all smoking bans have been implemented on the back of lies, fabrications, manipulated statistics & total utter junk science!
      Still, despite all the above, Stanton Glantz has lit up our Christmas and his excellent demise looks, at worst, imminent.
Happy Christmas to you all & a Merry New Year

Smoke on the Water

     Well we have now heard it all as 'the most miserable cow on the planet' (Debs Arnott for those unaware of the reptiles existence) has reacted to all those adonis type young people on the TV  'REALITY' programme 'Love Island'. Our good friend Frank Davis writes on the subject of her obvious loathing for anyone that dare smoke on TV but as Frank points out, the programme is shown after the 'watershed' time of 9pm: so what is her beef with all this?

The most miserable bitch on the planet

     Let's go back to the beginning and introduce you to 'the most miserable cow on the planet' - Mrs Deborah Arnot, anti-smoking crusader extra-ordinaire, the woman who bleats on about a wisp of smoke killing thousands of people yet jets around the world with careless abandon, leaving trails of emissions where-ever she may go.
     The first sign that all was not well and that some sort of anti-smoking law was to be imposed was when John Reid (a smoker) objected to the initial plans for fear of trampling on people's freedoms of choice - he was quickly removed from his position as Health Minister to another office - out of the way.
     Let's go back 11 years when the Tobacco Control organisation got into full swing shall we and see all the lies that emanated from her evil mouth & mind. It was so simple for her to "foster an atmosphere where it was perceived that active smokers would injure those around them..." as the majority of MPs were absolutely oblivious to the truth that SHS is/was harmless, that smoking was NOT a direct causer of cancer & that lung cancer had an 80% incidence in NON-smokers. All these facts were either not known at the time or simply brushed over.

...anyone notice a difference here?

     Think back also to the dire, untruthful roles played by the anti-tobacco sections within our universties, especially by the highly unglamorous Linda Bauld & equally repulsive Prof Jill Pell (who was most certainly no professor of truth!) Remember the 'fact' that smoking bans had caused no harm to businesses (just to ensure exceedingly dumb MPs that the Treasury coffers would not suffer)?

                                        Tobacco Controls pair of lying piglets: Pell & Bauld

When the truth came from over the water it was revealed that 1,000+ bars, pubs & clubs had closed due to the Irish buying their beers/spirits and drinking at home - or - each others homes! While MPs roared their approval at this simple transition from smoking to non smoking premises totally unaware that once set in motion total carnage would ensue and even more ignorant of the fact that Prof Jill Pell was already fabricating figures to 'prove' that smoking bans worked - the truth never got in the way of a good statistical bash!
     We sit here today, Sunday 23rd July, just over a decade after this disgracefully implemented ban came into force knowing that just over 17,000 once happy, viable little businesses have gone to the wall and a massive percentage of those businesses are/were Public Houses, the one time great social hub of this nation. They are not the only businesses to suffer as private clubs, Working Mens Clubs, Snooker Clubs, Liberal, Labour & Conservative Clubs have all 'died' courtesy of this rigid ban. Even the Trimdon club 'oop north' , home of Blairs successful PM campaign closed soon after the implementation of the smoking ban! I'll bet that not quite so many of his supporters were quite so ecstatic with his leadership after that event!

     We had the 'Scrappy Valley Club' nose dive from in excess of 3,000 members to less than 900 in record time, which of course led to closure but the local vanguards of the smoking ban never stopped extolling the virtues of being smokefree! They merely shrugged their pathetic, non tolerant shoulders about the fact that many areas were becoming pub free/club free. Villages lost their focal point of contact as many Post Offices followed the local pub into oblivion. Social cohesion was beginning to fall apart yet no one in Westminster took any notice.
     The ' most miserable cow on the planet' hailed the vote in parliament as the greatest piece of law making voting ever and has never stopped bleating about just how many lives this particular law has saved.....the problem is of course that it hasn't! No one can prove that not smoking has stopped anyone from dying - and they can't! Who is to say, categorically, on what date anyone will die (unless they are sentenced to be executed of course)? it is an impossibility. It was an impossibility to predict that a 14yr old fitness fantic would drop dead just yards from his home in Rothley just as it was  an impossiblity to predict that a former England footballer (44yrs old) would suddenly drop dead on a training ground! However, statisticians successfully massaged & manipulated whatever figures they could so as to brainwash the 78% of non-smokers that the 22% of active smokers were causing them harm: thus the new world of hatred was spawned as smokers were 'leperised', actively shunned & stigmatised - yet, zip forward to present day and we find that all three of these words/actions are now punishhable in law if against any non white or non British person-isn't that just so typically hypocritical of our government!
     But back to the 'Smoke on the Water'; ie, Love Island where the winner receives a rather handsome £50K prize for, basically, being the smartest, ponciest poser in there. I say poser because you only have to look at them to realise that they aren't your everyday boy or girl types. They all look as if they have seriously trained for this non-captivating event. It's non-captivating to me but apparently it has a massive TV audience ranging from 14yr 'wannabe's' to 35 yr old (probably has beens!), none of whom really care a jot about Arnott's pathetic bleatings. Amazingly Betfair do not have an open betting market on this event either!
     The programme makers do NOT script the conversations as it would render the entire show pointless and therefore allow all contestants free reign on what thaey talk about. Now the mere fact that some of the contestants smoke is totally irrelevant because, amazingly, some people still smoke in real life - now there's a thing! The thing that is more relevant to my mind is that smoking cessation funding has been drastically cut by government as the purse strings are drawn ever tighter in a vain attempt to right the great financial wrongs in this country therefore 'the most miserable cow on the planet' is simply trying to keep the Quit Smoking debate alive. yet everyone has the choice to smoke or not to smoke; eat bacon or not; drink milk or not, drive a car or not - thist of choices be endless!

Good or bad, CHOICE is your perogative!

     Indeed, here in Leicester the city council is in dire straits thus I have requested that they stop spending £960,000+ on this cities own idiotic Quit Smoking programme. However, despite my highly informative letter to the local Health & Wellbeing having had my question for a month I am still awaiting a written response - from non other than our beloved (sic) 'elected mayors' offspring Ellie Cutkelvin who just happens to head the select committee. I have no doubt that avid smoker hater Soulsby likes to keep things in the family but who knows, perhaps nepotism has not reared its ugly head on this occasion! The point of the letter was to show the council (where only a handful of voices actually matter) that wasting £420,000 on NRT products was a complete and utter disgrace! I can only assume the rest of that massive expenditure was on premises, rents, rates, silly amount wages and admin. The response will be interesting indeed and yesterday I sent a 'nudgenudge' email just to let them know that I hadn't gone away. I might even turn up at the next local area meeting and ruffle a few feathers-yeah, why not?
     Deborah Arnott ( 'the most miserable cow on the planet') obviously feels that she is now empowered to direct the flow of TV Reality programmes.....so that they aren't too real-life like! Anyone of the same mind as me that these loony jihadists should be enlightened about the Shoreditch address so that they could perhaps blow up fellow terrorists in a certain building - well they both want to change the British way of life so they are equal in my mind! One thing for sure that many smokers will thank Arnott for -the illegal tobacco trade and although I don't smoke I absolutely applaud anyone who does and uses 'white-van-man' for their enjoyable habit.
