A far from INDEPENDENT review of PP

Smoking bans KILL businesses-FACT!

As usual, our turncoat PM (that's David Cameron to you & me) has lost his bottle and has bowed to the extreme pressure exerted by all these blatantly overpaid hillbillys from the various health lobbys as he has now allowed an "Independent Review" of the Plain Packaging situation to take place-headed up by an 'eminently (totally non-) independent person' by the name of Sir Cyril Chantler.
Now you might think that this is of no concern but believe me it is for Sir Cyril Chantler is no back number when it comes to the 'roll of honour' in the medical profession!
  
Sir Cyril Chantler
Cyril Chantler is the Chair of University College London Partners, which brings together world-class medical researchers and clinicians from UCLand four NHS hospital trusts, leading research that is driven by patients and their needs. He is also an adviser to the Associate Parliamentary Health Group.
In other words, Cameron has chosen very wisely for this man will, without doubt find it totally necessary to state that Plain Packaging will undoubtedly save millions of lives every year in this country-even though only 1/2million of us die each year at the moment! Cameron has brought in the Big Cheese to ensure that he doesn't gett his bottom smacked by the health fraternity who have totally ignored the fact that the Australian PP experiment has been a complete 'PR' disaster for the anti smoking mobsters. And laugh ye not, mobsters are exactly what they are as they are running a mafia style fear campaign except they choose to hide behind a little change of law here, a little change there-slalmi slicing all the time. And what is worse is that we now know that Cameron is just a weak kneed w****r as he caves in yet again to these legalised mafioso.
Adolphus Cameron Hitler esq
Remember the Public Consultation that shot the mafioso up the 'aristoltle'? Despite ASH/Arnott pulling voting stunts left, right & centre the healthist mafioso still got buried by 1/2million public votes decrying Plain Packaging, so they have simply ignored the Public Consultation (which will now be buried somewhere or other) and Sir Cyril Chantler will be bombarded with support for PP courtesy of all lobby groups using public funding to heap more & more misery on..... err..... the public that are funding them! I sit and wonder at the wisdom of letting all these once solid businesses fail because of an ideology?
Now if you remember a while back, our mafioso got all this PP nonsense from our idiotic 'cousins' on the other side of the world-yes, the Aussies: but where is that government now I ask? Interestingly public Health Minister Jane Ellison said it was now time to "examine the emerging evidence" on a policy shift. Err, what policy shift would that be then Jane? Didn't your predecessor attempt 'a shift' by nipping off to Luxemburg - and is no longer where you sit now. Warning Jane, don't open your gob too much or you'll be ending up shafted like our ex news reader was! I wonder who's desk was used?

It would seem that the Australian populace got a bit sick of all this nannying as that government was unanimously dumped at their last election a couple of weeks ago and the new man, Mr Tony Abbott, has marched straight in with sweeping cuts to various lobby/prohibitionist groups. ASH Australia are, as of 31st December, 2013, officially NO MORE!
ASH Australia closure on December 31, 2013
Statement from ASH Chair Dr Matthew Peters, 18/11/13:
The Board of Directors of Action on Smoking and Health Australia (ASH) advise that ASH will be officially ceasing its operations from 31st December 2013. ASH was established in 1994 in an era when its joint funders (today, Cancer Council Australia and the National Heart Foundation of Australia) had relatively few staff deployed directly in tobacco control. For many years, this has no longer been the case with both organisations giving high priority to the many aspects of tobacco control.

Today, smoking rates in Australian adults and children are at their lowest ever levels, in large part because of the combined efforts of ASH, Cancer Councils, the Heart Foundation and others.

ASH's invaluable work in advocating for policy reform in tobacco control will continue through Australia's well connected network of agencies dedicated to driving smoking rates down even further.

The Board thanks ASH's Chief Executive Officer Anne Jones OAM for her (almost) 20 years of extraordinary service to national and international tobacco control. Anne will continue her international work as a consultant to the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (The Union). The Board also thanks Stafford Sanders for his 12 years’ service to ASH. Stafford provided countless hours of invaluable advice to journalists and the public, and maintained ASH's very popular website since its inception.
It doesn't matter what rhetoric is used in their farewell speech on websites, newspapers, TV or radio, the plain facts are that they cost the country too much money as they expanded mercilessly from 1994 to become a colossal financial burden to the Australian government. And, never forget this, at the end of the day it is up to each individual as to how they choose to live their own life - not some nanny governments! The Aussie ASH mob banged every drum possible for PP and got their answer last week in a flurry of over enthusiastic journalists who couldn't get to print fast enough-many of them before they actually realised what the true results meant. PP failed, 'pretty picture oblivion' failed too, but the smugglers enjoyed a massive increase in business-and all thanks to ASH & nanny government.
One illicit brand, called Manchester, has registered such a rise in sales its market share has grown from 0.3 per cent to 1.3 per cent in a year. That puts its market share of total manufactured cigarette consumption higher than that of leading brand Camel.

Illegal but very popular-well done you Aussies!
That says it all really folks. The people spoke with their feet. They wandered straight past the corner shop or the mall or whatever source and straight to the nearest "trailer salesman" for their smokes-ands bloody good luck to them too is what I say.
Delightedly, I can tell you that the Dutch equivalent (Stivoro) is also to close by Dec 31st. Oh deary me, the Dutch have finally realised just how much all this anti tobacco cobblers is costing their country and also they have realised that they are all £3 short of a tenner! All their lies & deceptions have got them is closure-the endgame! And, wonder of wonders, politicians have now decided that talking to pro-tobacco people just might be a good idea! However, some idiots quite believe that leaving this situation as it is, to be the answer - thus lose more & more revenue. Words fail me. These are the people in charge of nations-God help us! Considering that this anti tobacco movement has been the sole cause in the dramatic rise in smuggled goods I'm not surprised-are you?
Can you see the similarities beginning to blossom over here folks. Adolphus Cameron has no backbone and thinks he needs to pander to every whim & fancy from the health nutters as such as CRUK who openly state that "PP will definitely save thousands of lives" even though there is not a shred of evidence to support such an idiotic statement. Remove all cornfields and lawns in this country I say-just think of how many asthma sufferers will benefit from that! Think how much the NHS will save on patient care!
We are now coming up to the start of another round of electioneering and I am happy to state that Adolphus Cameron and his opposite number Eddy Multibrand (well his tune changes at the drop of a hat!) who recently stated: 
"The government should have introduced plain packaging earlier this year - we want them to act swiftly, we want them to act now. We don't need another review. Every major public health expert agrees this would help the battle against cancer,"
Now can any sane person out there tell me how a coloured packet alters a persons chance of being a victim of cancer against a non coloured packet? If colour attracts cancer (which is in all of us and simply needs a trigger) then how are these packets better than these simple B&H packets?

 
    

The packets (left if you hadn't already guessed) with all the silly government pictures on are far more colourful and likely to catch the eye than a plain old simple gold coloured box in my opinion. And it doesn't matter really what Adolphus Cameron or the idiot Multibrand opt to do as they argue with eeach other across the Commons for people will still smoke if they want to smoke and it is even more ridiculous now that the 'WHO' have finally 'come out' and declared that air pollution (which we already knew) was a leading cause of cancer. What is the point of waging a war on tobacco when the pollution war has already been lost to AIR pollution?
     
Breathe it in baby, breathe it in!
Tony Abbott declared that the wastage of state funds on all the nannying was criminal when one in eight people in Australia were living in poverty. Yep, 1 in every 8 people in Australia are potless, maybe homeless and probably living on starvation rations-how can you waste $millions on tobacco control when your countrymen can't even feed themselves? (this report is alarming!) Apparently Adolphus Cameron & Eddy Multibrand find it easy to do so as they both want to court favour with the medical mafioso, who by now must be the greediest people on the planet! What about the poverty in Britain I ask? Apparently we have now reached "emergency status", but the dreaded duo still want to waste £millions on tobacco control!
Now all this leaves the door wide open for that man with a mouth, and a whole heap of common sense, to walk straight in. Enter one Nigel Farage, politician extra-ordinaire, for he talks without use of forked tongue! His policies are simple and understandable:
 
Nigel Farage-simple, uncomplicated strategies!
Out of Europe
...End of nannying
     Shut that door-end of immigration
       Save our NHS
         Halt unemployment
            Bring a halt to business closures
It can't get much simpler than that folks, it really can't. Adolphus Cameron is merely a puppet of the NWO who themselves are now moaning about the 'people being educated into objection' thanks to such as the internet. How terrible, I mean to say, fancy us 'plebs' having the audacity to have knowledge of the twisted corruption that's affecting our daily lives. If the people that have voted blue or red for the past 20 odd years cannot see that change is needed then there is absolutely no hope for them - or this country. Those that have insulted this country by voting for Cleggs useles/finished mob should simply be ashamed of themselves and report to the "Betty Ford" clinic immediately for I have never witnessed such an il-Liberal set of "liberals" in all my life! I was born in a country where freedoms were held in high regard, we fought for them in two World Wars yet we have politicians (I think that is what they are) destroying them bit by bit as some crackpot or other comes up with a new scheme for the betterment of mankind (which of course will have no effect on mankind except for the populace donating more in taxes). I doubt I will being dying in that same country. Even with the redoubtable Farage having a say in the well being of our nation cancer rates will rise as they have done through the past past 50 years of industrialisation. However, there is one slight difference in that Mr Farage has been kept well abreast of the fanaticisms of the health lobby (who blame a wisp of smoke for evey malady known to man) through the work of Justice4Smokers & nasbouk who are continually exposing the stupidity of killing businesses & rising costs of these silly bans. As Mr Farage himself states:

I am quite a keen smoker who has always prized myself on being rather good at it

... and it is, at the end of the day, a freedom of choice. Apart from the criminal act of theft by various governments past in enacting this vicious and socially destructive law, those governments have set out to destroy the very fabric of this country. Mr Farage wants to repair that which is damaged-not create even more damage... and that's why we must all fight this supposedly INDEPENDENT review of the Plain Packaging argument-it serves no purpose and will only curtail more businesses!
A sad footnote: last night I found out that a friend of some 25 years passed away last weekend. Early 50's, never a smoker, always fit from walking everywhere 'Little Chris' was the model citizen as far as tobacco control would be concerned..... except for one thing-he never railed against anyone who chose to smoke or drink! Like many he moaned about the fact that many of his 'circle' stopped coming to the pub after the SB, which slaughtered his own social enjoyments. Apparently he went to bed last Sunday night and simply never woke up. An autopsy has determined no particular cause of death either-perhaps he was just fed up of fighting against the daily tyranny that has now beset this country! Rest in peace my little friend.
