Tottering, teetering and soon collapsing!

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?

Scotland - the Auld braveheart !

Smoking band KILL businesses - FACT!

     Well folks the day has come at long last where a harmless, 69 year old angry smoker has actually got to the stage where he is sick to death of his social life being completely ruined - and has, accordingly, set about suing the Scottish government for doing just that: killing off his social life! Enter the arena Mr Alan Auld esq:
     Now as many of my readers, who know me well enough, will know..... I fully support him in this endeavour to get justice for himself and for all other smokers so disproportionately treated by (as I've said many, many times) the worst law implemented since the Clockmakers Tax of the 1790's. You may, or may not remember that clockmakers simply stopped making clocks and the idiotic law was quickly repealed. This law (SB) was inroduced to (hopefully & purposely) stop people from smoking and it has also failed abysmally as the same number of people smoke now as did pre-ban! 
     So what has it achieved? Answer is nothing of course, excepting misery for all those who exercise their freedom of choice to smoke. Oh yes, sorry, I forgot that the smugglers & dealers in tobacco contraband are having a field day - literally raking in the old wedge, the wonga, the moola, the dosh! Old mate Barry down the road here is absolutely 'upping his lifestyle' on a monthly basis - fair play to him for that I say !

 See: Fag ban’s ruined my life.. now cough up (Scottish Sun)

     
     Simon Clark picked up on this story first after being contacted by the Scottish Sun (who failed abysmally to report the whole story) but has failed to advance any positivity whatsoever. Now Simon has stated: "Alan Auld has a serious point but legal action – in this instance – is a mug's game". Sorry but I totally disagree with Simon on this point for the simple reason that the smoking ban HAS crippled millions of smokers social lives and that is a very serious point indeed! The law states that discrimination is illegal yet it clearly discriminates against smokers. There were plenty on Simons blog over at Taking Liberties that wanted a fight, they wanted to help this brave man and so do I. (and I thank Simon for printing my response even though at odds with his own view)
     Take a little trip over to our sister site at Justice4Smokers.co.uk where the full story (so far) is already online. Justice4Smokers are fully prepared to support Alan Auld and to that end spoke to the  gentleman, by phone, last night. Alan is absolutely delighted that we will support him in his legal quest for justice and is also very excited by the prospect of a 'smoking fund' as was raised when we freed Nick Hogan & Chris Carter from the evils of our prison system, courtesy of this repugnant law. 
     We have already proven that we can do it and we have already proven what a colossal  weapon blogosphere truly is when used correctly so let us band together folks, smokers & non-smokers alike to help this man in his brave fight against a corrupt government that produced a corrupt law and discriminated against the people in Scotland from 2006 onward.

 

     We know it will be a long and protracted legal battle but we also know that we are right and that all these bans were brought in on the back of lies, fabrications, manipulated statistics & total utter junk science. The problem the Scottish government will have is proving otherwise-especially now that the WHO have declared Second Hand Smoke to be harmless!

 

The true cost of smoking bans-no customers!

     We also know that legal battles cost money, lawyers don't play ball for nothing, but this is a magnificent opportunity for the smokers (all 12-14million of us & supporters of freedom of choice) to get together and create a fighting fund that the Scottish government will struggle to match. This is the opportunity that we have all been waiting for, the opportunity to prove how falsehoods caused a law to be enacted that purposely set out to discriminate against 25% of the population.
Are you IN..... I AM! .......
for those that remember the Chris Carter collection, there was an £11.21 overflow so that is the kickstarter for the Alan Auld legal  support fund. I will keep you all updated with matters.

The Totness "Fat Controller" is breathing heavy!

Smoking Bans KILL businesses-FACT!

     You see folks, we told you that once 'the state' got its grubby digits into our personal lives there would be no stopping them-and, sadly,  so it is proving to be. The latest meddlesome MP to arise from the restrictive practices pile of dung created by the health lobby is Dr Sarah Wollaston, a Conservative MP and former GP. How can you be a 'former GP' (unless you have been struck off by the medical council?) for once qualifying as a GP you are always a GP surely! Anyway, that bit aside, she says, quite pompously, that the  state had a “duty to intervene” to protect current and future generations from unhealthy habits threatening to shorten their lives. (Letting in too many immigrants is most certainly unhealthy!) Again we see that this well intentioned (ex) Dr has decided that she knows everyones D.O.D otherwise she wouldn't declare that she had a duty to intervene to save people from shortening their life spans. This must be the case for how else would she know that her proposals were 'fast & true'? I must write and ask this silly woman to explain her brilliance in this field of personal longevity!

“There is far more we could do; we are going to have to get tough with some of these very big vested interests in unhealthy foods.” 

     Wow, 'this biatch is on heat'! Look out McDonalds, 'yo is in de firing line babycakes!' Mind you folks, McDonalds is already in the deep fat fryer in Russia! (this is priceless coming from the Russians!  )

The former GP called for a direct ban on “supersized” foods and drinks, so that manufacturers would be restricted to producing chocolate bars, junk food meals and fizzy drinks in standard sizes.

     Two things have emerged here folks: she has already stated that not only can 'Big Government' intervene - already proven via the disastrous smoking ban - they can also wield the power to enforce manufacturers to lose profits, lay off workers, create more unemployment & close businesses. Pretty clever for an ex GP eh?

If action was taken to introduce standard sizes, the controversy would quickly be forgotten, she believes - much as it was in the years after smoking in public places was banned, and seatbelt laws introduced

     Does this silly woman seriously think that the effects of the smoking ban have been forgotten by 10-12million people? Does she seriously think that the government could forget that an atrocious act of parliament is costing this country £1/2bn every single month it is in force or that a complete factory has been closed down because of it? If she does then she seriously needs to go and see a still practicising Dr - of the mind! You can e mail your thoughts to her here.
     The idiotic smoking ban law is put firmly into context (as a waste of space), as is her equally idiotic 'food war' when you read of sad times like this. Only 45 years of age, a 'master chef' who probably knew more about food than Woollaston ever will, Ross Burden died of cancer in New Zealand.
     Back to this 'fat controller' biz folks: For a start, people would simply buy 2 drinks of the favourite 'fizzy' instead of one! If, say, 20 oz cups were made illegal then the manufacturers would simply resize @ 19 or 19.5oz and carry on as before. If 'Big Govt' stated that all fizzy drinks could only be sold in, say, 12oz containers/cups/beakers/cans, then the manufacturers would simply introduce a 2-4-1 situation and leave the prices about the same - so how is this fantastic, restrictive campaign going to solve the so called obesity problem?

     Of course one has to ask the question of who actually allowed all these very naughty people, like McDonalds, Chinese take-aways, Kebab shops, even greasy Fish n Chip shops etc into our High Streets? I mean to say, how totally careless of them to do so! How uncaring were these people that introduced such empires to settle in this health crazed country........ oh sod me me yes! Of course, it was 'Big Gov't', whilst all the time thinking of "Big Revenues" from the "burger-bar-craze" of the late 60's. I remember the first Wimpy Bar opening in Rugby (could still show you exactly where it was positioned-though it has long since gone) in 1962/63, and I can honestly report that from 'Day 1' it was packed out at weekends and always sprung into life after school hours-such was the craze for 'hanging out' with a burger and a milkshake! Heavy socialising stuff in those days I can tell you folks-jeez, we had it all- and some of us plonked the old school jacket & tie in the duffle bag and enjoyed a fag as well! Shock, horror, yes, a fag - and it was lit; happily smoked too! 

     From the lowly Wimpy Bar emanated the mighty McDonalds, the leviathon of child obesity, the leader of all evils foodwise, the cause of all this obesity that affects 33% of our child stock.

"Given that one in three children is obese or overweight by the time they leave primary school, with far greater obesity among the most deprived, the scale of marketing of unhealthy foods towards children is wholly unacceptable,” she says.

     Aha! so we are back with that particular band of people, the 'most deprived'. Those people that have little money or hope to live on & on & on, little enjoyment and little wish to exceed their three score & ten! 'Dumping on the underclasses' is a simple but nasty form of control in my experience and Dr Woollaston is another fool that thinks everyone wants to extend their lifespan, when living in poverty, possibly squalour and almost certain unhappiness-just where do these people come from I ask?  Why is it that these people with a modicum of power and a grossly excessive wage packet feel the need to dictate lifestyles to others? Does the 'good book' not teach us to live and let live? Does it not decree that there will be fat years & lean years and therefore it naturally follows that there will be fat people and lean people? 
  And what is she going to do with her fellow Tory Mr Eric Pickles who must take up half of his Brentwood & Ongar constituency with his vast girth? Pot, kettle, black anyone???
     You see folks, the other argument is of cost to our crumbling NHS - so why do Woollaston and her cronies not get us out of the EU and do the Larry Grayson bit and  "Shut that door". What could our NHS do with £55,000,000 per day to spend? What is the matter with these toffee-nosed persons that purport to know best for us? How much in back-handers are they all getting from the Bilderberg group and/or the NWO ........ because they must be drawing wedge from somewhere to keep selling us down the old swanee river!
     Don't you think that it is time for change? Don't you think that after the B-liar years and the useless bumblings of a totally inept coalition that we, the British people, had a complete change of power base? Did you know that Labour & LibDems just killed off the referendum bill in the House of Lords, acting on the instructions of their masters in the Commons? How can you continue to vote for this shite? Have you got the balls to take your chance to upstage these power crazed loons because if you have then the only way you are going to do it is at the ballot boxes whenever a local election comes round. Yes folks, I'm talking UKIP votes - the only party that deals in common sense and applying it to the common man! 
     July 31st sees a little by-election for Charnwood Borough Council (Leicestershire). The Tory councillor stepped down (had enough basically) so there is an excellent opportunity to vote in a UKIP representative by the name of Thomas Prior who happens to be a local chap, who knows the area very, very well and not some high flying 'political manbird' flown in especially for the occasion. Thomas is a very sensible chap who is very aware of the local issues and does a very strange thing for a would be politician (albeit at local level)..... he talks a whole heap of common sense! Can't beat that in my book.
     And, just before you go huffing and puffing at me, just remind your good selves what happened in Doncaster a couple of days ago - the Milliband stronghold if you don't mind. Very interesting to see that

the Tories only got 16.2% of the vote which shows that in the north they are like the LibDems..... defunct, kaput, finito etc! People are getting tired of the 'SAME OLD-SAME OLD", they are voting for change, but they need to start voting more consistently for that change. To the people of Charnwood I say vote UKIP, vote Thomas Prior, vote for common sense and the party that's growing in stature on a daily basis, lets start the move to get all these fat controllers moved to one side. They've had centuries to kill off this country and they're doing a damned fine job of it, so let's vote in the 'new kids on the block' and allow common sense to prevail!

Desperation stakes-bring in the clowns

Smoking bans KILL businesses-FACT!

     I suppose that when you are a committed Camoron you sit and wonder which calamity will appear next on your prime ministerial agenda. Today we will find out as Camoron fully announces his 'Cabinet reshuffle' and 'sends in the clowns'. Now I don't say that to be derogatory to the fairer sex for many of our gentle sex are razor sharp on politics and can, verbally, cut a conversation like a knife through butter-but there is one exception I'm afraid as 'call me Dave' wades in with the fairer sex. The "Beast of Broxtowe"

                   Retiree, Ken Clark is now gone & "The Beast of Broxtowe" (Anna Soubry) is in!  

     Why named as such? Simples! remember when this former newsreader had position in the Health Dept and suddenly took herself off to Luxembourg for some Tobacco Control meeting? Remember when she went uninvited, by Britain or Camoron, to add 'OUR' vote to ever increasing pressures on OUR government with regard to TC? Remember how quickly she was shuftied out of the Health Dept after that disgraceful, self serving action (no doubt chivvied on by ASH)? Well folks, yet again Camoron has shown that he cannot be trusted and simply doesn't listen to the people as this ex-newsreader is now (we assume) about to take a cabinet seat with her only credentials being that she is eloquent on occasion but nothing more than a self serving busybody! This is what British politics has lowered itself to become - gutter government ruled by wastrels & political climbers. God help us is all I can say. However, there is a margin of hope for us all as the 2010 election result shows:

Anna Soubry (Cons) 20,585 (+1.8%) [39.0%]

Nick Palmer  (Lab)   20.196 (-3.4%)  [38.3%]
Forget the rest as the LibDems were 12,000 votes adrift in 3rd!

     For once in my life I am going to plead with Labour voters to stick with their candidate in 2015 and to also urge enough of the ex LibDem loons to vote labour as well (or better still, thousands of disenchanted Tory voters simply turn to UKIP)-it doesn't matter if they (Labour) simply dress a baboon in red-vote for it for this woman is pure poison for 25% of the people of this country!

 

Bye Bye Love, Bye Byer Happiness-hello loneliness

     Above is a picture of the soon to be defunct Imperial Tobacco factory in Nottingham. A place of work where 7,000 happy souls once enjoyed employment but a place that is now to close, throwing thousands of people onto the ever expanding dole queues in the city. Anna Soubry is all in favour of such events, she is everything anti-tobacco could wish for & Deborah Arnott could not wish for a better 'bed partner' at the very heart of our British joke of a Government to manipulate! In fact, the Arnott must be almost orgasmic at the prospect of getting right next to Camoron's earholes! However, with a 'majority' of just under 400 votes it should be a simple matter for Labour, providing 'Multibrand' doesn't lead the crusade, to regain Broxtowe and get rid of this vile person-fancy having to rely on the Labour party, the party that deserted the working classes, to do one a favour-dear oh dear me! It is a sad truth that despite UKIPs meteoric rise in popularity they are hardly likely to pick up 20,000 votes in the next election so as to oust BOTH major contenders.

     Over in America (the so called 'Land of the Free' [what a joke that statement is now!]) New Jersey voters approved the legalization of gambling in Atlantic City in 1976. At the time, Nevada was the main competition in legal casino gambling, and Atlantic City kept its lock on the industry in the northeast for years.

   

               Punters:       Now you see them          -        Now you don't!

     But you can guess what has caused the great decline in business as yet another major casino/hotel closes its doors forever. Yup, it's the smoking bans that seem so prevalent at the moment.  "Showboat" will be the second casino to close this year, joining the Atlantic Club, which closed its doors in January. Two other casinos have stopped operations in Atlantic City since 2000.Amazing the amount of revenue that can be removed from an area that no longer wants them (smokers)! Atlantic City, once the north easts jewel in the crown looks to be heading Detroit style where the city has actually filed for bankruptcy! This 'gem' shows how "Motor City" delved into the recesses of poverty-an $18-$20m dollar recess! We're following the same route as we are borrowing more than we can afford-mind you, we have idiots in charge that simply refuse to get out of the financial deathtrap that is the EU. Only two weeks ago we were 'Junckered' for the second time in 70 years!

     On the home front the cheering news is that, despite my predictions (some 12 months ago) of a possible dozen seats for UKIP in the 2015 elections, Mr Farage has gone for 20 (twenty) possibles! Sorry Nigel, I admire your generous nature but I'll stick to the dozen and happily eat my words in the event of the twenty! However, having said that, looking back at the Newark by-election, it was an incredible feat by my good friend Roger Helmer to frighten the life out of the Tories - when was the last time you ever heard of the PM ordering Cabinet Ministers to 'walk the walk' & 'talk the talk'? I don't think I was born then! The amount by which the Tory majority was reduced (9,000) was astounding really and truly shows that UKIP have landed and are here to stay-thank the good Lord for that I say as this country plummets deeper & deeper into the financial quagmire of obscurity.

Quick question for you all: What do David Camoron & Kenny Rogers have in common??? They're both cowards!

 

Obviously the word COWARD but the top 'owner' of the word is a major flop and the lower 'owner' was a major hit!

     Let's be absolutely clear folks, there is absolutely no point wasting votes on either Tory clowns, witches & bitches or Labour misfits, idiots & health freaks (who now want Sugar Puffs advertised only after 9pm!). Where has all the common sense gone in this now lunatic country? 

Why are we letting all and sundry into our lands, the lands that we fought two great wars to preserve? 

Why are we letting these incoming migrants rob our welfare system blind when we we have geriatrics left out on our streets? 

What has gone wrong with this country?

We need common sense returning to government, not some puppet government dictated to by the Bilderberg group or the New World Order. These people already have £bns, they don't care about ordinary folk (eugenics yes, but not us!) - UKIP do! UKIP provide one thing the others are totally blind to......

 

Let's have plenty more of this please!
