NICK HOGAN - TARGET REACHED !!!
I am really busy this weekend finalising my short story, Great Granny's House, for my MA monthly assignment. and so I won't spend much time here boring Baz, in particular, with my thoughts on what we smokers and freedom loving non-smokers have acheived. Read Anna Racoon, Old Holborn and Simon Clark's blogs for the full update on how we reached the target to free pub landlord Nick Hogan within four days.
No one can say that this was not a great effort. I believe, and so do many others, that this has proved there is more public support for choice than oppression. ASH, which couldn't function without Pharmaceutical industry and Govt support, only raised £4000 in a year from public donations. Nick Hogan's fund trawled that in from willing donators within a few hours. The grand total in a week was more than £9,000 and money is still pouring in.
Bloody well done, everyone! Read all about it, and the rest, from the links below.

It seems Nick Hogan's blogger's whip round is currently running at over £6,000. Keep the donations pouring in to Old Holborn's blog or print off this poster, designed by Grumpy Old Twat, take it to your local boozer, and go round with a bucket tp pick up what you can.

DONATE AND HELP NICK HOGAN
Old Holborn has started a secure pay pal and card fund to help Nick Hogan. here :http://bastardoldholborn.blogspot.com/2010/02/nick-hogan-jailed-over-no-smoking-ban.html Click on the link "donate - justice for Nick Hogan" and pay. I've done mine. OH is asking for a £1. from 10,000 of us but we can do better and get Nick out quicker. Denise, Nick's wife, has no knowledge of the internet and has no idea of how much support Nick has. Let's show her!

WILL HE LISTEN ?
Dear Mr Brown,
With reference to the custodial sentence placed on Mr Nick Hogan, a link to one of the national media headlines has been added for your perusalhttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1254126/Pub-
There are many who are most concerned at the imprisonment of Mr Nick Hogan courtesy of Bolton Crown Court on friday 26th Feb, 2010 for non payment of fines and costs incurred in relation to smokeban law infringements. The total costs involved amount to a sum of £10,236. We feel that this may, in part, be due to vastly inflated fines for minor infringements and Bolton Council claiming the unbelievable sum of £7,236 in 'costs'. Could these costs be viewed as excessive, especially considering the current economic climate and the undeniable decline in the pub trade, of which Mr Hogan was a part?
Mr Hogan was imprisoned for 6 months for non payment, yet a violent female in Brighton was only gaoled for 2 months...
A Dungiven man was imprisoned for 3 months for serious sexual abuse...
A Merseyside teenager jailed for four months for 'despicable and
horrendous' animal cruelty...
and a criminal found guilty of child battering and abuse was only gaoled for 6 months...
All four instances have shown extreme violence toward others, including
animals, yet none of the cited cases have anything to do with money or peaceable objection to a law that is blatantly wrong. Is it right or just that crimes of such a horrendous nature as portrayed above should receive less of a custodial sentence than Mr Hogan?
Mr Nick Hogan has merely 'stood up' for his rights as a businessman and the dignity and rights of his fellow man by allowing them to smoke in his pub. Only a heartless coward would send the elderly and infirm out into the wet or cold to enjoy that which has been enjoyed for hundreds of years and made our public houses the great places they used to be!
As a businessman he has rights regarding his property. The smokeban law, which is failing abysmally, has removed that very basic right of determining how he runs his own business. Not only that but the system has now created a criminal, who now has a prison record for doing what any sane and sensible businessman would do-look after his customers.
We respectfully request that he be released from this custodial sentence with immediate effect and a more suitable punishment be substituted, for he is not a criminal - unlike the cases cited above. The system, since 1st July, 2007, has created a new 'cash cow' for your government; they are called smokers! But, Mr Brown, smokers have rights and more importantly, smokers are voters-12 million of them. This action of imprisoning Mr Hogan for 6 months shows that the system now thinks more of money than human misery and businesses.
You will note that I have copied in the SUN Newspaper as I am hopeful that they will be happy to pick up on this abomination of injustice.
Yours sincerely

A SAD DAY FOR BRITAIN
Freedom and justice died in the UK today as pub landlord Nick Hogan was jailed for six momths for allowing people to smoke in his own property.
Nick used to have two pubs. One was smoking and the other was non-smoking. When Britain was free, people chose which pub they wanted to use. Then NuLabour ideology, inspired by the liars and crooks at fake charity ASH, stuck the jackboot in and decided that we would all love the anti-smoking laws whether we wanted to or not!
Hewitt, Merron, Brown, Blair - all of you who criminalised decent businessmen like Nick and decent law abiding citizens who like smoking, should hang your heads in shame. How dare you claim to care for human rights, you damn hypocrites!
Nick couldn't throw two people out of his pub who smoked after the ban came in, and he felt strongly that it was his property and he should decide who enters and how thet behave on his premises. He said if he had allowed those old people to sniff cocaine at the pub table, he would not have been prosecuted.
ASH and Merron claim the smoking ban is not killing pubs. Yes it is. The traditional, community type of pubs where smokers used to go are dying. Owner pub landlords of smoker pubs are being harrassed, fined, imprisoned, and when they can't take any more and go bankrupt, then the state moves in, and opens the way for the big, exploitative Pubcos to move in, who then culturally change smokers' pubs for non-smokers' pubs. Smokers are excluded, discriminated against, and this Govt encourages it.
This govt is despicable and so is anyone who supports its communist methods of control. Shame on all of you!
Who will lend their support to a protest to serve time with Nick? We need people willing to work in shifts so that there is a constant presence outside of his jail until he is freed. His jailing is the biggest infringment of human rights in the UK since woman were jailed for wanting to vote.
