The NannyNazis are rapidly running out of ideas in their campaign to “de-normalise“ smoking.
These latest ideas are just fucking daft. They won’t have any effect on youth smoking, other than to make it more appealing. It’ll be a challenge to get your hands on a packet of fags - and the guy with the fags will get “respect”.
I’ve never once said that smoking is a good thing, indeed I think we should use all the available existing laws to stop young people from buying tobacco.

We have good enough laws in place - just enforce them. Any retailer found to be selling fags to minors should lose their licence to sell tobacco - no questions, no appeals just take the licence away. And the same goes for drink, by the way.
Scotland has increased the legal age to buy tobacco to 18 - good I say. But once you reach 18 then you’re free to choose whether you smoke or not - in exactly the same way you decide to climb mountains or not or drive very fast motor bikes or not.
These are all risky activities but we should all have the choice about which risks we want to take in life.
As far as banning fag-machines is concerned I couldn’t give a fuck! They’re a complete rip-off anyway and I’d be delighted to see the greedy bastards who operate them out of business.
No branding? So what, I don’t smoke the packet so a plain white one is fine by me. Actually leaves more room to doodle on it - unless they cover it with pictures of dying people or diseased organs.
Many great inventions started as a scribble on the back of a fag packet!
Hiding them under the counter? Sounds OK to me…
…Or am I supposed to feel like a dirty old pervert when I go into a shop and surreptitiously ask for 20 in a plain bag please!
This is de-normalisation at work.
So no, I’m not one of the pro-smokers complaining about the latest ravings. I don’t care - these measures are bound to be completely pointless and will do nothing to stop youngsters seeing smoking as ‘cool’.
And anyway, how will they roll a decent joint with out some baccy.
Maybe they’ll just skin-up with pure grass instead - looks like it’ll be easier for them to get a hold of than tobacco.

Sorry, I don’t mean to trivialise the seriousness of mysoginistic crimes perpetrated by fuckwits like this.
I just wanted to point out what a stupid fucking order this sheriff handed down;
The Sexual Offences Prevention Order prohibits Allan for life…
“from approaching any females who are not known to him whilst under the influence of alcohol and using sexualised and/or threatening behaviour towards them.”
So I take it it’s OK for him to do all of the above if he is not under the influence of alcohol?
If he doesn’t understand that this kind of behaviour is not acceptable then why is he not locked up?

This twat spends his time preaching to the great unwashed about the dangers of alcohol while getting pissed in his garden shed to avoid the wife, or so he claimed when police visited him following a report from a worried taxi driver.

So he’s not just a hypocrite but a fucking liar to boot.
Good title BBC, he is indeed an alcohol expert…
…expert at drinking the stuff and then driving a car!
BTW he thinks it’s “ironic” that he finds himself in this position.
Ironic, my arse, it’s a fucking disgrace and he should be debarred from any public office or consultancy in the future.
