Not long before we sink altogether!

Smoking bans kill businesses - fact!

     

     Having spent a few days away from the homestead since my last blog it is good to get back to the keyboard, especially as I have met a couple of new faces and an 'old face' that are living in a severe form of bewilderment. I will explain why.
     Firstly I bumped into Derek ******, a thoroughly nice chap, a diamond actually, who had, until August last year, been galloping around Afghanistan protecting all those 'freedoms' we cherish so much here in good old blighty. He was telling me that near the end of his stay over there (to which he could see no point whatsoever) his group were called up one day to go on a patrol, when in fact they should have been trotting off the other way; apparently the original patrol was unavailable(?). Anyway, they were treading the path on fear along one of those sandy roads/tracks when a local Afghani starts waving at them and calls to them in English as he ran toward them. Unsure of what was about, Derek tells me that they spread out slightly, guns at the ready, with the lead man calling out to this 'Afghan hound' to stop and state his business. He didn't! Instead he made faster toward them and obviously thinking that he was close enough, triggered the device wrapped around his scrawny brown carcass. **BOOM**. 

 

Blood and bits of body all over the place and Derek tells me that although a good distance away from this lunatic bomber, the blast threw him a further 50ft from where he had been crouching and that it was only the fact that he landed flat on his back that his body armour protected him from serious harm. Once he had sat up and concluded that all the blood & gore upon him was not his own he started to feel a 'damned sight better about me'sen'.      Miraculously none of the patrol were injured, apart from pride, and a support unit soon arrived, including medics & copious quantities of 'wet-wipes' for cleaning down bloody operations. That was the last patrol Derek ****** ever went on for he left the forces soon after returning to England and is now something to do with plastics.
     It is returning to England that is really the point of Derek's tale for after a couple of days at home he decided to take the wife to the local pub for a celebratory drink with his mates etc; which he did -  except he and his wife sat in the pub on their lonesomes! None of his old mates came in as they sat there for ninety minutes chatting about how nice it was to be safe 'n' sound back home. Three drinks later Derek asked the barman, who he did recognise, where all the regulars customers were? You guessed it already folks, they don't bother to use the pub anymore, even though it has a rather pleasant smoking shelter out the back. "New world mate, smokey/drinky's at home nowadays" the barman winked at him conspiratorially, as he pulled a half of lager off for an old man that tottered through the doorway. "Here's my new regular" he smiled, " 1.15pm as regular as clockwork our Fred walks in, hail, rain or shine."

     Derek took his wife home, disgusted, that after all he had been through 'running around a desert shit-hole' and he couldn't even sit down and enjoy a pint with his mates anymore. Derek has never smoked, never had the slightest inclination to do so either but sees no reason why smoking rooms shouldn't be employed by licensees if that is what the licensee wants. I told him some of the lies and the lunacy that has surrounded the smoking ban BS, his response? "I'm glad I'm outta that shit-hole and now, well, I don't even know why I was defending this country...look at it! It's worse here now than when I left... freedoms?... it's a joke beyond compare!"
     The second person I met was a young Canadian medical student by the name of Ahmed ********. He was over here for a reason I have now forgotten but we got talking about smoking bans etc for although he didn't smoke himself he was amazed that this country had banned all indoor smoking, which of course included the pub/club scene. After explaining his likes and dislikes in that area (drinking/clubbing etc) he started to tell me all about his life at medical school. The day starts apparently with a mantra:  "Smoking causes/can be attributed to all diseases known to man". (...at least now know the true beginnings of the Great Plague!) Unbelievable but true (I never thought to ask him which college/university this was but never mind). "The first question any medical practitioner must ask him/herself is 'does the patient smoke' as this information will give you a basis for diagnosis". Now we know that such a statement is absolute rubbish for there are very few ailments caused directly by smoking and also the absolute fact that SHS has never caused an actual death-he agreed.

     We chatted for more than an hour and he agreed that even if a patient went to the Dr's with a 'whitlow' (paronychia) , or possible in-growing toenail the question was always to be the same-"do you smoke?" Now we all know, even the insanest of the anti tobacco zealots, that neither of the above two common complaints which require surgery visits are caused in anyway, shape or form by smoking as they are bacterial infections and easily cleared up by anti biotics yet the medical profession still ask the same stupid question "do you smoke?"

 

     I now have the answer folks. 
     They are banking responses so that, in the end, they will have so many affirmatives to the question that they will (truthfully for once) be able to say that 'more than 80% of their patients have been recorded as smokers, therefore smoking causes more than 80% of all Dr's surgery appointments'. It's a simple game that requires a simple regurgitation of the same patients until the required percentage is reached, it doesn't matter that one smoker patient visits his/her surgery 6 days per week, in fact that suits their figures superbly as it counts as six 'marks'-so if  16 smokers visit their Dr's five times a week (perhaps even at Drs request), that equals 80 marks and if 20 non smokers visit only once per week they have recorded 20 marks; there's your completely disjointed 80% which will no doubt be released to the idiotic media happy to print 'any old shite anti tobacco'!
     Apparently every lecture started with the same old mantra, "Smoking causes/can be attributed to all diseases known to man". Doesn't matter what the lecture is about, the same old tripe is spouted; it's even on the blackboards/greenboards/whiteboards or whatever is supposedly 'PC' these days! ergo: all medical students are now indoctrinated regardless! Ahmed ****** himself fully agreed that the smoking hysteria had gone way to far and wasn't surpprised at all that this country had lost 12,000 businesses or that the ban had cost this country £30bn+ (Scroll to page 12)so far or that unemployment was rising. What he was totally amazed by was the fact that this government have totally refused to look at the other side of the coin and ask the relevant question - "do people want to live forever just because the medical world abhor tobacco usage?" They simply don't want to hear truth!

     Ahmed himself agreed that a person has 'x' years, months, days, hours, minutes & seconds to live on this earth yet no one knows exactly what that time span really is-so how the bloody hell can anyone in the medical world claim that smoking bans enhance longevity? They can't, it's a complete misnomer, a flight of fancy and yet another 'blind' to confuse the easily lead! I remember my old friend & fellow pub quizzer David Taylor MP standing outside the HofP spouting on about  "it was expected that the smoking ban would save 40,000 lives over the next 10 years"; he then promptly died from a heart attack on Boxing Day whilst walking off the  sumptuous repasts of the festivities. A fervent non smoker, David never understood why the majority of local quiz teams dropped out AFTER the smoking ban. Deborah Arnott, director of the anti-smoking campaign group Ash, said Mr Taylor was "crucial in getting the smoking ban legislation through parliament". David was a non smoker and an anti smoking campaigner it is true, but what use did it do him when we are surrounded by this from birth?

( 'Smokin' at 3 weeks old-thank you government!' )  

 Did you notice the word 'expected' in his speech? yet another one of those carefully chose words incorporated into the medical dictionary of deceit to con the gullible-along with maybe, considered to be, possibly will, probablility that, propensity for, and many, many more!
     On the anti smoking bandwagon we learn that America's most influential campaigner has finally gone to his grave as Mr C Everett Koop has finally hung up his anti tobacco boots at the grand old age of 96-funny how George Burns (pro tobacco and freedom of choice) outlived Koop (anti tobacco, full of hatred and obviously anti freedom of choice!) The article states: 

" cigarettes continue to kill more than 400,000 Americans a year and cost untold billions in health care spending."

The question is of course, "people die everyday worldwide, what does it matter what of?" What these lunatics do not understand is that the world is over populated so why have the WHO whipped up such a frenzy about ensuring people live longer when they blatantly couldn't give a shite about the starving millions in Africa? Double standards at play here methinks.

     The third interesting chat I had was with a young man, David *******,  of good educational standards (becoming a rarity these days!) who simply could not figure out why we were still courting the EU and more so, couldn't figure out what possible use they were to this country. Somewhat erudite at a mere 24 years of age I must say folks, shame there aren't more of his ilk around. He bemoaned the immigration situation in this country and asked why Camoron was happy to just sit and allow our country to be financially raped by the arriving hordes David is a non smoker too but he cannot understand the lunacy of the a total smoking ban, considering what it is doing to this country! The latest proposal is to ban smoking in prisons as the government are now sick of having Prison Officers claiming compensation through having to 'endure' SHS!

 

( Smoking in prison-one of the few pleasures left )

     You see folks, even though it cannot be proven that SHS kills anyone, nor even harms anyone, because the medical profession have completely hoodwinked the 'grinning jackernapes' (Blairs) government and the courts have been instructed to fully back this law up in every way possible, the 'PO's' have been making hay while the sun shines by claiming for all sorts of maladies 'caused by SHS'. So, in reality, the now corrupted legal system HAS to find in favour of the PO's or the SHS theory loses all its' highly dubious credibility' in one fell swoop-and can you imagine what the \Arnott et al would have to say about that? So now you know folks that justice in this country is now merely a pipedream-especially if you smoke or are accused of smoking! Funny how, pre ban, there were no complaints about prisoners smoking whatsoever! 
     Now I can't wait for this to 'kick off' big style for many of our long term prisoners have nothing else in their life but enjoying a smoke, so who is going to be to blame when the first 'screw' gets 'topped' by  lifer who hasn't got much to live for anyway - and really doesn't give a toss? What are the government going to tell his poor wife and family? I can see the headlines now:

"Prison Officer killed by fagless lag!" 
or
"Prison Officer killed by NON smoking!"

     In fact, I think that  Deborah Arnott should be made to go round to the bereaved families abode and explain to them EXACTLY why this poor bloke died at the hands of a "FORCED" non smoking psychotic nutter. Perhaps they would then do the entire world a favour and strangle the Arnott! We can only live in hope I suppose but it would be more proof that non smoking kills!

( Roast that pig! ) 

     People who have nothing to lose will fight to the end to preserve what little they do have and that is exactly what is wrong with the people of this country-they have acquired a certain amount of wealth since the end of WWII. In the 50's we were all equal (apart from the landed gentry of course & those born to silver spoons) but in the following decades people have gained possessions and wealth which they aren't willing to give up too easily. Governments 'divide & rule' campaign re anti tobacco has worked very well but we are now getting to the tipping point where internal revolution is of great appeal for we are being ruled by complete half wits who listen to absolute numpties in Europe who themselves cow-tow to the New World Order who simply want a single monetary system and complete power.

     Now when you think about the smoking ban, homes were exempted as were prison cells (because they constituted 'home' to prisoners) so the government are now going to move into the private home sector by banning smoking in prisoners 'homes'! I can already see Arnott having orgasm after orgasm at this prospect for this opens the door (no pun intended) to call for smoking to be banned in all homes..... for the chiiildren..... even if you haven't got any! 

     You know something, they still go on about the cost to the health service of smokers but they always fail to mention the even more colossal cost of those that 'apparently' live longer because they are healthier. Now I wonder why that is? My old friend from 'point-to-point' days, Clement Freud had this to say:

 Spoke an awful lot of sense did our Clement!

 

There's a new dawn coming folks!

     

     Smoking bans kill businesses-fact!

     In a country that is showing severe signs of complete insanity which, bizarrely, is completely the fault of those that should know all about sanity-the health freaks-there has been a glimmer of hope that sanity may now be starting to spread.
     We all know by now that smoking, drinking alcohol or gluttony is frowned upon from a great height by the new world rulers known as the World Health Organisation, after all, they were 'elected by the people for the people'-I don't thinkl!

     Having completely failed to control/eradicate the worlds dire illegal drug problems (40 years war costing trillions of dollars) they then decided the largest single cause of deaths to be smoking. 

 

(The WHO didn't fancy taking on the drug barons!)

Now I am at odds with this, as you may well know by now, for if the figures from Africa are even remotely accurate then the 700,000 deaths supposedly caused by smoking in the EU bloc absolutely pale into insignificance next to the (minimum) "1 child every 3 seconds" of each day dying of malnutrition & desease in stricken Africa. One death per 30 seconds would equal 1,051,200 deaths per annum - so the WHO, yet again, only accord figures to the projects they wish to promote. Of course you also need to take into account the  fact that African figures are helpless children

  

whereas the WHO have purposely set out to stigmatise, denormalise & criminalise those who wish to smoke (Adults). In actual fact, it's absolutely nothing to do with Margaret Chan or any of her cohorts as to whether I smoke, you smoke or David Camoron (intentional spelling) smokes-it is entirely a personal choice, not the decision of some supposed health organisation that is milking countries financially to junket around the planet on super inflated wages! 

 (Arnott looks adoringly at Luk Joossens in S.Korea)

(COP5 anti-smoking shebang in Korea earlier this month ...)

     The problem of course is that the WHO garner no 'street cred' (or money) from Big Pharma by saving a few million starving Africans but waging a health war on the western, more educated world is a different proposition altogether folks. The western world has money, bundles of it actually, and is a market worth infiltrating & cornering-Big Pharma has cerainly done that, even though recent fines imposed for malpractice & dodgy drugs must have dented their bank balances somewhat!
     But what is all the above doing to the morale of people around the european circuit? We don't have to look far to see what people are starting to think of present day intrusions from afar, austerity, financial restrictions of all kinds & financial penalties for the most bizarre of 'offences'. Smoking bans have killed off our social empire and what is left will be  slaughtered by the anti alcohol jihadists. Sadly, the good old British boozer has died and gone to hell leaving the corpses known as 'food houses that also sell a beer or two',  courtesy of the WHO and their ideals but more so, thanks to the dumb & ignorant MPs who voted in the total smoking ban. They were voting in ignorance as they were lead to believe they were the health saviours of the world (well, England at least) when in fact they were merely pawns in the WHO's conflict on smoking world wide. Donaldson got his seat (pay-off) with the WHO as his 'prize' for swaying the vote and of course our country has been cited as a 'leader in anti tobacco strategies'. 
     Australia is now leading the way with plain packaging, though it hasn't made a scrap of difference to the sales of tobacco products down under! This is despite someone (Dame Sally Davies) having a private dinner with someone (from Aussieland) and stating to the contrary based on mere heresay!       
         The EU has released a chart showing the amount (%) of smokers by country here and, interestingly, they still bang on about reducing smoking rates even though it is obvious that those still smoking after years of terrorist style threats and social engineering by these single minded fruitcakes that smokers still smoke because they enjoy smoking! Interestingly the EU has, in writing, admitted the following:

"Smokers have so proved resilient to anti-smoking campaigns. Showing pictures of cancer-infected lungs on cigarette packs accompanied by bold warnings have not led to droves of people giving up on their cancer sticks. However, the EU is not giving up. In order to bring down the alarmingly high rate of European smokers, new legislation is being planned. Follow the EP's public hearing on tobacco products Monday and check out our infographic for more details about smoking in the EU".

     In other words, having spent £bns and still found lots & lots of people enjoy smoking, they daren't back down and admit defeat-which in a way is good news-for these idiots will continue funding this ridiculous campaign until there is no money left. The way things are going in Europe, and here, it shouldn't be too long! . Nice to see Germany's anti EU party surface too! But, you have to sit back and watch this video as the EU warlords sit and 'debate' the next move on smoking eradication. Watch as Reilly (the fat lump from Eire) spells out 'his countries smoking eradication achievements', yet he somehow ignores the fact that teenage smoking has risen by 2% or that Eire is now considered the illegal tobacco capital of europe or even that 25% of cigarettes smoked in Eire now are illegal-strange that!

 

     Italy has reacted to all the social engineering, the corruption, financial penalisation and the way their country is generally being destroyed by idiotic EU policies - and the joke is that a joker has gained the single biggest percentage of the votes! Mario Monti, having been imposed as leader of the Italians by the EU itself (?)  was promptly voted back into the wilderness, the people of Italy preferring the plain speaking, honesty of a former comedian Beppe Grillo's 5 Star party which cornered almost 25% of the voters! Of course this has thrown the EU into total dissaray as they cannot control what the people want, do (to a large extent) or say! Hopefully, this will destroy the EU completely as it is not a democracy at all, they are simply building a dictatorship under the guise of democracy. I'm truly amazed that no one in Italy has been gaoled yet for daring to oppose Monti (EU) in the elections!
     Over here in 'good old blighty'(sic) there has been a similar uprising. At long, long, l o n g last the good people of this country are finally cottoning on to exactly what is occurring and where our once great country is heading. All those that thought the smoking ban was the greatest thing since sliced bread can now hang their heads in shame -and embarrassment for being such pillocks! It was never about health or the health of bar workers, it was always about control of the masses. They used smokers as the lever because, in this country, 75% do not smoke so it was easy to whip up an anti smoking fervour and ensure that demonisation was simplicity itself. Bastards. Now, they know that they have governments in a corner and can virtually introduce whatever orders (healthwise) they feel they want to see imposed and Camoron (intentional spelling) is far too weak to stand up to them (the WHO et al) and allow the British people (Richard Briers, Allan Massie et al)  their freedoms of choice. 
     But, as stated earlier, the dawn of change may well be upon us as the Eastleigh by-election has thrown British politics into an exciting confusion-and about time too! 
     Our very un-noble leader has long scoffed the 'ragbag' party of 'misfits' as "full of fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists". David Camoron (intentional spelling) still won't admit that he was wrong. He had a chance to make amends not long ago, but instead responded: "There are still some very odd people...". What an upper class twit the man truly is. As previously stated, I am not a politically minded person but the smoking ban was the final straw, it was the final nail in the coffin of democracy in this country-implemented for all the wrong reasons and very badly implemented indeed; just look at the casualties over the past 5.5.years!

     The il-Liberal un-Democrats expected to 'hold' Eastleigh even though Chris Huhne is now looking to move down the road to Winchester 'nick' for a while: delightful abode I must say and all for a simple motoring offence, my oh my! Still, he will be in good company on 'C' Wing as there are nearly as many crooks and shysters in there as another building of similar architectural magnificence!

 

     So whilst Huhne reflect on his corrupt political lifestyle that now lays in tatters, he might also reflect on the rising anger in this country as the people, the rank & file, the working classes have, seemingly, suddenly realised that large bucketfuls of urine are being exacted from them by Camoron and the idiot 'schoolboy in long trousers'. I should imagine that Camoron is absolutely furious that the "There are still some very odd people..." clan, aka UKIP have acquired 27.8% of the vote, especially as they only managed 3.6% at the last election (2010).

(Shall I step down now or next week???)

The il-Liberal un-Democrats realised 13,342 votes to retain the seat but the UKIP support rocketed to 11,571 votes, much to the chagrin of Tory supporters who saw themselves being relegated into 3rd place (10,599 votes) by "..... some very odd people...". As for the disgraceful Labour party, I'm amazed that they even got 4,088 (1/3rd of the UKIP vote) votes after the shameful thirteen years of misrule from Blair/Brown etc! In fact I am gobsmacked that some areas of this country are still firmly Labour orientated, the youth of today so indoctrinated by parents & grandparents that they vote red at every opportunity without even questioning why they should do. Undoubtedly we have bred a nation of morons, which of course suits people like Camoron who can then easily maintain their lofty positions of power.

     What this fantastic result in Eastleigh means, quite simply, is that the ebullient Nigel Farage is now being listened to by the masses-and so he bloody well should be folks!

     Do we want anymore of this EU crap in our lives?........NO 

     Do we need to subsidise pregnant mothers abroad?.......NO

     Do we need to waste £53,000,000 per day?...................NO

     Do we need to pay child support tho' living abroad?......NO

     Do we need farming fines from these EU dirtbags?........NO

     Do we need idiotically expensive "WindFarms".............NO 

     And these are only a few of the absurd directives from the lunatics that want a 'USE' (United States of Europe). Let us concentrate on only one aspect, deliberately not mentioned above-immigration. Next January the floodgates open to Bulgaria & Romania-and God help us when they do! Note that Bulgaria's entire government has decamped and the country is in utter turmoil as they try to enforce the nonsensical smoking bans! I appreciate that these two countries are vastly poorer than we are but that doesn't mean we want 'x' hundreds of thousands of them coming here to settle, for the more immigrants we allow in the more poverty we heap upon our own people and those already domiciled here. We were told that 'only' about 40,000 Poles would bother themselves to come over here-righty ho then! The figure is fast approaching 500,000 and still rising as Blair (Mr 'I wanna be the EU Emperor one fine day please'?) opened the immigration doors simply to 'piss off' the Tories some years back. We are now in the situation were 'Balls-less' Camoron has to get us out of the EU so that we are not bound by yet another of their idiotic immigration rules. Only 34% surveyed said they would stay in the EU-you have to feel sorry for these poor souls, though being in business suits some of them to remain tied to the stern of the SS EU Titanic. My friend in Bulgaria already informs me of families packing up what belongings they haven't sold already so as to travel light and head for this country on Jan 1st, 2014. As I said, God help us yet it seems that only Nigel Farage is aware of the immense threat these people (and other nationalities) are to this country! These foriegn/British crime figures make some really interesting reading I can tell you!

 The Met’s figures show the 27,725 arrests of ­Romanian suspects were in connection with 142 rapes, 10 murders, 666 sex crimes, 303 robberies, 1,370 burglaries and 2,902 offences of violence.

I'll need to say no more on the subject. Of course we have a long way to go yet to get this country back from the brink of financial disaster but with people starting to vote sensibly, and not in line with their forebears total bias, we have a chance of rescuing this ridiculous situation. UKIP are on a monster roll and this momentum must be kept going until they get a definite foothold in Westminster.

 

     Look at it this way, if the il-Lib un-Dems, who are basically political dustbin fodder now, were to be replaced by Mr Farage and his fellow UKIPpers then I think we would see a completely different side to our political structure. Camoron certainly could not afford to be so pro-EU as his coalition partners would not stand for such crap! Further, he would not need to hold out on the referendum he is obviously so frightened to announce as UKIP's very presence would already give the prize plum the answer - OUT Camoron OUT!
     And finally, as I seem to have gone all political on this particular blog just savour the flavour of the prospect of our licensees having the choice to run their businesses the way they want to-more of this in the next blog
