Smoking Ban Bollocks

Hennessey on the smoking ban in the Telegraph:

"Missing altogether, however, is what is to my mind the shining triumph of Labour's decade in power: the banning of smoking in pubs and restaurants. This superb and visionary piece of legislation, meaning no more evenings of being slowly poisoned and having your clothes reek of other people's stale tobacco for days on end afterwards, became law on 1 July last year, less than a week after Tony Blair's departure from Number 10. Forget power-sharing in Northern Ireland, banning smoking is something which will place future generations greatly in the former PM's debt. I intend no irony here - I am deadly serious."

Then you are a fucking tit, Mr Hennessey.

The smoking ban sums up precisely what is wrong with the Nu Labour government. They believe they know best about every aspect of life. They believe you should have no choice, just in case you make a choice that might not be 100% ideal healthwise. They do not believe in educating or trying to discuss lifestyle choices. They are totalitarian fucks. They simply remove freedom. They remove the right for adults to chose what they do and how they lead their lives.

The Nu Labour tits who compiled the list are right to leave it off. In fact, this ban shouldn't be in the law books at all. It is the very definition of what is wrong with Nu Labour. It sums them up right to their rancid, arrogant hearts.
