Fags out.

[pendy]

Wot's all this about France, then? Has anyone else seen their latest bit of lunacy?

In line with their ban on tobacco advertising, the poster for the Sartre exhibition celebrating his centenary has had the cigarette in his hand airbrushed out!!!!!
This, for a man who smoked 40 Gauloise and a pipe every day!

The bottom line is freedom of choice. This Government has done more than anyone probably since Attila the Hun to take away such freedom. What next? Alcohol is bad for you. What price closing pubs down? and off licences? - let's get rid of all the fast food joints as well, after all, all that saturated fat in fish & chips and burgers - save the NHS a bit that way.

Then we can start on cars - no private ownership, just public transport for everyone except John Prescott and his missus (can't let her hairstyle get messed up, can we!). That should save a few bob, no more trauma surgery, we'll have space for all those poor folk needing new hips and knees.

Oh - except, of course, if they have indulged in daft things like football, skiing, etc, then we can't allow that .... self-inflicted injury.

See, we are already making up for the revenue lost on fags!
