GOOD DRUGS BAD DRUGS


Image from HERE

When are "bad" drugs "good"? When Big Pharma pushes them rather than illegal cartel drug barons or the legal tobacco industry.

We know that the Pharmaceutical industry is corrupt and doesn't give a flying fig about health. It's primary and only concern is profit and if children in the Third World are too poor to pay for life saving drugs then Big P simply won't provide them.

That's why every single anti-smoker organisation in the UK that is snuggled up in bed with Big P - including ASH - and several UK universities are not in it for health reasons but for cash and jobs.


Early medical "researchers"

Even the hallowed and saintly Stirling University admits it is dependent on Big P because most of its students now have careers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and agricultural industries.

I don't see how they are much better than those who work in the tobacco industry myself and certainly their morals at taking this dirty money are questionable.

Of course tobacco is a natural medicinal herb but Big P and its academic lackeys malign it as a drug to slander tobacco consumers as addicts and push custom towards Big P. They cover the lie with Frankenstein science because they cannot openly admit after years of untruths that tobacco does indeed contain therapeutic qualities.

I know that I'd rather rely on nature than an unnatural manipulation of nature but each to his or her own - if only we were allowed to make our lifestyle choices without fear or favour.

It does suit Big P and its servants scientists to create a nation of hypochondriacs and phobics to keep the huge profits rolling in but I honestly and sincerely doubt that their motives are altruistic or based on any real concern about health - just as they were not in the days when snake oil salesmen pushed their useles wares.

I'd like to think that Govt is finally waking up to the con bearing in mind that Nanny Milton is trying hard to distance herself from ASH but I simply don't believe her.

ASH is not a grass roots organisation and never has been. It was set up by Govt and is a Govt quango in reality that masquerades as a "charity" so we are really not that easily fooled Ms Milton.

The only way that you can prove to us that you are not smokerphobic or biased in running the DoH is to stop all funding to the anti-smoker industry and lay off the Tobacco Industry, its law abiding consumers, and all the associated businesses with it - including the small vending machine salesmen, paid less than researchers at Stirling, now out of work and on the dole thanks to your Govt's stupidity in following the damaging economic policies of your predecessors in Labour.

Tobacco should be regulated and is. Over regulation in favour of its direct competitors at Big Pharma is obscene and would be unlawful if such methods of putting legal industry out of business was directed at any other lawful product.

UPDATE : I just saw this and wonder how on earth the author expects us to believe it and how he can state, with a straight face, that :

R.W. undertakes research and consultancy for, and has received travel funds and hospitality from, companies that develop and manufacture smoking cessation medications. He has a share in a patent for a novel nicotine delivery device.

Sorry, but here is direct evidence of an alleged "scientist" who depends on his own personal fortune by harassing smokers and propagating untruths.

If this man really "cared" about smokers damaging their health then he would be active in his cause for free like just about every single pro-choice warrior. He's obviously in it for the money. Don't believe a word.

BREAK OVER



Image from here

Job hunting was getting me down so I decided to step right away from it, take a few days out in the glorious weather we've had here of late and do something different so me and my other half got on our push bikes and looked for something to do out in the nearby countryside.

And we found a veritable treasure of a spot by the riverbank, picked cherries from trees on a public footpath and bemoaned the fact that some woods are private so we couldn't explore further.

My other half made wine and I made jam and in the spirit of good weather, we cycled some 36 miles in a few days. The best news is we can still walk as we haven't stiffened up from using muscles that were last used on how ever many nice days we had last summer which brought about the same urge for physical exercise.

Now the rain is back, it's time to get back to jobhunting. Lack of funds means I won't get to this year's UKIP conference nor will I be able to make this event in Manchester or any of the fringe events organised for the Conservative Party Conference in a bid to make the Tories listen that their persecution of people's lifestyles is ruining more than just the economy and long held British traditions.

During my latest absence from blogging, I've logged back into this virtual world occasionally to check the latest outrages and have much to say about Govts which seeks to destroy legal industry by giving a monopoly to one industry over another.

And I could also write reams on the confirmation that the EU is a dictatorship that ignores its so-called citizens in favour of Iron Curtain ideology, and my disappointment that Smoker heroes Philip Davies and David Nuttall would both want to see the reintroduction of state murder but the job hunting calls so I'll leave that for another day.

Meanwhile, I'm hoping that I will at least have enough cash to go on this trip which is one not to be missed and probably the last trip I'll be able to make until next summer - job permitting of course.

FASCIST OZ STEALS SMOKER MUM'S CHILD



Dads smoke too

At face value it looks like fascist Australia is the first to to discriminate against smoker parents.

In this case the country's bigoted judges are taking children from loving mums and giving them to bigoted dads who complain their ex partners are unfit to be parents because they enjoy smoking.

It is terrifying to think that the country is breeding a new generation of Nazis who are being taught to hate one particular lifestyle group and see them as inadequate human beings.

British smoker mums wake up. Your children could be next especially as our corrupt Govt is in the pocket of the anti-smoker industry and to ensure it keeps getting Big Pharma pay-offs, it will move towards this kind of discrimination against loving parents.

First the state favours a non-smoker parent and next it will favour the state over two-smoker parent families.

Is this really what you want? If so just keep voting Conservative. No doubt Big Bully Lansley will see taking kids from smoker parents as a great wheeze to force us down to 18.5% is five years time when the next step towards criminalisation of smokers is taken.

UPDATE
And this latest move comes from a state whose institutions have abused kids for the last 80 years

Sickening isn't it - unless you're fascist that doesn't care about kids other than how you can use them to achieve your own ends of a final solution for those humans you despise.

MINISTER ADMITS DoH CORRUPTION



Well, well, well, junior state health persecutor Nanny Milton has openly admitted that the Govt's tobacco control policy is corrupt and designed by political lobbyists and Big Pharmaceutical vested interests.

In an answer to a Parliamentary question, Milton said the Govt didn't give a stuff about those who had voted Tory nor did it care about law abiding ordinary people or legal business.

Instead, it pays political lobby groups like ASH - which it hides behind "charity" status so its dodgy dealings can't be found through Freedom of Information requests - and only listens to big Corporate interests which compete directly with Big Tobacco companies who are not allowed to be heard along with their legal consumers who are being punished for not wanting to quit.

This would be the same Pharmaceutical Industry that uses Govt to push harmful drugs which kill smokers but they continue to be prescribed because the Govt says smokers don't matter and they are trying to purge us from society so death or quit makes no difference.

It seems that Nanny Milton is openly acknowledging that the publically funded Department of Vested Interests, AKA the DoH, is lobbied by organisations funded by the DoH, and is only happy to speak to those that share it's corruption in making Big Pharma richer and poor smokers criminals because they won't buy Big P's quit products.

And I thought Tories were for free market competition and not about making laws that allow one competitor to prosper at the expense of a rival.

Fair play on the only honest politician in Govt at present for asking the question of Milton. Personally I'd like to know if she is also being paid by Big Pharma to give it an unfair competitive advantage like her predecessor Pat Hewitt - the Taxi For Hire Minister who was paid £3000 per day to advance the interests of corporate Big Pharma in the making of Govt policy.

I repeat what I said above. This corrupt Conservative Govt hides ASH's main function - political lobbying - behind charity status so we can never learn how much it is paying our so called elected representatives to make the policy it wants making.

Philip Davies asked the Secretary of State for Health :

If he will make it his policy to require that organisations which engage with his Department on tobacco control issues disclose whether they are linked to or receive funding from (a) the pharmaceutical industry and (b) the public purse. [54656]

Nanny Milton - presumably in the absence of Big Bully Boss Andrew Lansley replied:

The Government are under obligation to protect tobacco control from the vested interests of the tobacco industry, under The World Health Organisation’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.
Our policy on this is set out in Chapter 10 of “Healthy Lives, Healthy People: A Tobacco Control Plan for England ”. This does not extend beyond the tobacco industry and the Department, as with all other policy areas, engages with a wide range of stakeholders including the pharmaceutical industry, organisations in receipt of funding from the pharmaceutical industry and organisations in receipt of funding from the public purse.


The other question I'd really like to know is who the hell voted anyone in from the WHO into Westminster? I'm pretty sure there were no candidates from that organisation on my ballot paper last May.

So now the secret is out. Milton has admitted for all to hear that the current Govt is corrupt and it doesn't care about it's voters so smoking Tory voters - have your eyes been opened yet or will you still vote for more persecution from the thoroughly dishonest Conservative Govt that panders to Big Industry and lobbyists who are making the policy that you expected to be made by those you voted for?

If you vote Conservative again, you deserve all you get but ordinary hard working law abiding, tax paying smokers do not.
