LIFELONG SMOKER EVICTED AT 88

Looks like denormalisation has actually got to the point where smokers are being made homeless. How else could the monster who is throwing an 88 year old lifelong smoker out into the street do it with such lack of empathy and compassion? This sort of behaviour against such a defenceless pensioner by the power of propaganda is considered normal these days.

After all, what would the righteous do if they couldn't enforce their caring upon us by forcing us out into the cold?

While cowardly Cleggy plays politics with smoking, when as Dep PM he should be writing to the Canadian PM to register his disgust, the pro-choice movement has jumped into action in response.

We don't have anti-smoker funding that achieves such great things as the eviction of old people from their homes, but we do have passion and a real desire to help those that are being abused because they are smokers. We do what we can. We show strength.

Rich White, the author of Smoke Screens, the Truth About Tobacco, and the Pro-Choice Smoking Doctor have written to the housing association asking them to reconsider on humanitarian grounds. They are asking for as many signatures as possible on a letter and he hopes to gain support from members of the world-wide pro-choice movement.
