Do you think the army should ban bullets, because it's dangerous for it's workers?

If people are willing to working in smoky atmospheres, then that's their call, no-one is forcing them to.

Staring at a screen all day isn't good for my health either, but I choose to do it. Freedom, remeber that quaint little idea.

shout shout let it all out these are the feelings i can do with out. come on!

But then this is the party that produced an article, in all seriousness, stating that wind turbines slow down the Earth's rotation.

Ahh, can't argue against the point so hurl some abuse. You must be an English Democrat.

That is sooooo rich coming from you, Davies. Who is calling everybody they disagree with a fascist?

This is a sensible policy from UKIP what they should add to it is that all pubs should meet strict air quality measures on health and safety grounds with proper air movement systems this would protect staff and non-smokers alike.

Looks like we are getting some free publicity out of it.

UKIP Announces Support for F2C

One of our members, Tony Blows, a publican in Hereford, has been a member of UKIP for several years. He recently wrote to his local office highlighting our campaign and as a result, received a call from the Party Chairman expressing interest. Today we received a call from one of the UKIP MEPs who was pleased to announce that Nigel Farage would be very happy to support us.

Many of our members had written to various Tory MPs seeking the party view on the smoking ban but despite David Cameron's assurances that his party did not agree with 'banning things', he has said nothing to gain our confidence that they would seek to revisit the question in their next election manifesto.

Well, they had their chance - they blew it - so now we would urge all members (licensees in particular) to take a look at what UKIP have to offer for the future and perhaps join the party. Help them to help us, so to speak. A few of our members have already joined tonight, myself included.

It was gratifying to see that they did not let the grass grow under their feet and their pledge to support us could be seen on their website by this afternoon. Talks between us will continue and we will keep everyone posted on progress. In the meantime, read the declaration of their support on the UKIP website....

No just people who espouse fascist views, like you.

Ted Bovis · 11-02-2007, 08:33 PM

And you get to choose who is a fascist, huh?

You define it all for me.
