“MPs to vote on smoking ban for those born after 2009”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68816566
A similar ban seems to have failed in New Zealand, now they’re trying to seed it here, before it’s eventually rolled out worldwide.
Its just a coincidence though, and there’s no shady globalist government.

Eddy, this is the biggest shot in the arm for Eastern European fag smugglers into the UK. it will provide them with a massive bonanza beyond their imagination.
So the UK are to dismantle the heavily regulated tobacco industry and replace it with an underground, out of control and probably highly dangerous criminal supply chain.
Well done commissar Witty!

Nigel Farage has just finished a speech in Brussels. (Suella Braverman on next.) The Brussels mayor has ordered the police to close down this right-of-centre (“far right”) conference.
Being broadcast on GB News of course. Seemingly, this news is not important enough for the BBC.

“1765 …. **In a republic worthy of name, freedom to publish one ’s thoughts is a citizen’s natural right.** They may use a pen or their voice, and should not be prevented from writing any more than speaking …That is the law in England, a monarchical country, where people are freer than elsewhere because they are more enlightened. – Voltaire, Republican Ideas, 1765”

“New figures released by the Scottish government detailing the costs of Humza Yousaf’s pointless self-aggrandising adventures in Dubai at COP28 show that he spent a whopping £106,576.09 on a 6 day trip, £47,986.25 of which was spent on “Marketing Campaign” – i.e, self-promotion. It seems the Scottish taxpayer isn’t just footing their civil servants siesta sessions, they get to subsidise the First Minister’s ego trips as well…”

Smoking ban.
Instead of banning and/or taxing tobacco, I think they should Tax Health Clubs heavily. People keeping fit will mean they will live longer and hence draw their Pension for longer costing taxpayers a lot of money.

Recent events cause me to make connections. I’m firmly on the 2 + 2 = 4 side and that is enhanced the older you become. You reach the point where you can virtually see around corners before arriving there.
The general public may not be aware of the draconian proposals of the Home Office, concealed as, ‘seeking views / Consultation’. Recent history shows that ‘seeking views / Consultation’ is quickly transformed into draconian laws, Some utterly stupid. See the bans on, ‘dangerous weapons’. Firearms/shotguns have already been put through the shredder with local Police descending on the innocent owner and their guns – legally licensed and held – being confiscated. You will have an item in your home which will now be illegal so pay attention because if you are susceptible to the pair of coppers at the door, late evening normally and in the dark for effect, lying to you to gain entry then conducting a search which you unwittingly let them in to carry out. So now, crossbows. The weaker of the two archery forms. No supporting organisations/numerically less than archery. I’ve submitted my views but in that process, it alerted me to what’s happening
elsewhere. I’ll wager that irrespective of microscopically small numbers involved criminally over a ten year period, I’m confident the Home Office will now quickly move to either ban crossbows or heavily license same as in firearms. They will then move on to archery.
There is a move to ban the public from holding/owning any item that could be seen as a weapon. But why? Not to protect the Police. No. But a certain demography is moving rapidly to take complete control of this country. Don’t want resistance when they rise up and carry out home invasions.
We learn from GB News that islam has virtually taken control of the Home Office. They are intent on their ‘terraforming’ of the UK in preparation for total control.
………………A smoking ban?………………. As archery next on the list for licensing/banning as above, smoking? Next on list? Booze/pubs. Any wagers? Just ask yourself what islam would want.
I’m afraid the public are sleepwalking into something they are unaware of. Having lived in the Middle East I know what they get up too: stood in front of you and spit directly into your face………or worse, beat you for no reason………snatching and ripping off a Crucifix from the male of the family while shopping in a supermarket. Evil. Pure evil. And that evil is spreading and intensifying day by day. The Police? Doing their bidding. Don’t accept being ‘filth’ cos that’s what they see you as.
Wake up Brits !!

Alcohol has no place in decision-making – but at Labour Party meetings, members are permitted to drink.
In my own Constituency Labour Party, I have witnessed the corrosive effect that alcohol has on party culture, and if our party is to become truly inclusive of women and other minorities, it’s time we ruled out this practice.
The presence of alcohol at meetings can be exclusive to Muslims, pregnant women, drivers, young people under 18, recovering alcoholics, those who cannot afford a pint.

Iran pushes app with ‘Death to America’ emoji
Published

Iran is promoting a domestically-produced mobile messaging app, complete with a “Death to America” emoji, in an attempt to get millions of Iranians to abandon the popular Telegram service, which it blames for promoting unrest in the country.
Iranians do have humour … One joke doing the rounds on social media says that Soroush’s three-tick message receipt notification (as opposed to Telegram’s two ticks) confirms that an intelligence officer has read the message in addition to the sender and receiver.

The PM Theresa May could get top 10 Imams from around the UK, have a nice cup of tea with them and then ask them to stand in front of number 10 and ask a question about the religion of peace and say ‘Who agrees put you hand up, if you do agree then say why …’
1. Hand up if a man who writes a piece of fiction should have a death contract put on his life?
2. Hand up if a man who is homosexual should be killed?
3. Hand up if a man who draws a cartoon should be killed?
Theresa May would follow it with … “Hand up for yes only please, no mumbling about translation and different era. If you put your hand up you get 2 minutes to explain your position. Many thanks.”
Done, dusted and out of the way and in the open …

TWatO Watch #1 – strange that you do that, BBC
Michaela School in Wembley, head teacher Katharine Birbalsingh, has won its case brought against it by a Muslim pupil that the school should set aside a prayer room for Muslims to pray. Who do the BBC go to for their first item? An Iman from Southgate, North London, to get his views. Who do the BBC go to next? Polly Toynbee, atheist and President of the Humanist Society for comment.
Both contributors seem ignorant of the requirements of the Butler Act 1944.

I have also saved a lot of time hunting for something worthwhile to watch on TV. I like films and so watching a boxed set (bought from a charity shop) has a double benefit. I would watch sport but some of that is no longer available on the BBC or is not covered properly with inane commentators burbling away. Henry Longhurst, Peter Alliss, Dan Maskell, Jack Kramer are all gone now.

Then there is quality TV that is not made any more: Frasier, Hill Street Blues (s.1-s.4 with Michael Conrad as Watch Seargeant esp. good) and Homicide Life on the Street, ThirtySomething for just a few examples.

So Michaela Community School, Headteacher Katharine Birbalsingh has won its case against a pupil’s High Court claim to force the School to provide Islamic prayer. Think that will be it? Think again. You can be sure that there will be an appeal, if that fails there’s the Supreme Court and the ECHR after that. The claimant (family?) are legally aided and there are the School’s costs and all the time and energy wasted on dealing with the matter. Hurrah for the legal system! Hurrah for the legal profession!.
The case should be struck out.
