Only now are the parties full of sleazy,hypocritical self interested prats Right Oh.
If when you were in politics you had not made such a c0ck up we would not be in the mess we are now, you should have kept the flood gates shut and now all the moaning LL/BTL knockers would have plenty of affordable housing stock to buy.
You politicians are and have been all the same, telling us what we should do but yourselfs doing exactly the opposite.0 -

You really aint that bright are you? I can walk into a town centre and smoke, what can be done? Nothing. That's right. Diddly squat. Zero, nil, nada. Not a sausage. NOTHING.
Now if it was an enclosed public space on the other hand, then I would be liable for a fine.
So please do tell me where smoking would lead to me being sent to prison.This country is called Great Britain. It would be called Amazing Britain if it wasn't for people like you pulling the average down0 -

Hmmmm ,sorry pickles I think you are assuming a lot.Clearly you think that I was in some form of political group that supported the sale off of council property,that are creating an underclass of New Labour serfdom.Far from it.At a grass roots level we strove for a more equal society.Ok I will admit to one thing,it was based on solid socialist principals.However these kinds of principals rely heavily on the individual taking responsibility for themselves and others.
I am long out of politics,although 2 years ago I was asked to stand as a local counsellor.Frankly I can`t be bothered.Jobs for the boys.
I never have told folks what to do but end up doing something different myself.So find out a little more about me before taking a pop!0 -
Hey nelly,won`t be so bad being locked----you can smoke in prison.Oh and you can smoke in the Houses of Parliament.So smoking for crooks is Ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0
