AUS BACKS CHILD SMOKING AND BLACK MARKET

I don't know how many smokers voted for the Third Reich in Australia but all their Govt has done is make their product much more dangerous while encouraging a rise in child smoking.



And the morally defunct Anti-smoker industry down under is welcoming this move while giving it's backing to the poisonous black market trade.



The creepy comments on this article about the inevitable shortage of tobacco caused by the Aus branch of the Nazi Party made my skin crawl but I can't put forward my own view because the comments are now closed.



David Crow, managing director of BAT's wholly owned Australian subsidiary, told a federal parliamentary inquiry the vacuum would be filled by Indonesian and Chinese makers, who would flood the market with illicit cigarettes.





Of course it will. Anti-smokers live in cloud cuckoo land and anyone with a modicum of common sense knows this to be true. Just ask the real "experts" - direct users of the product - and they will tell you that they will find other ways of buying the product partly because it's the only way they can stick two fingers up to the Govt that despises them.



And Chinese man with a bag is not going to ask children for ID. In fact, they are probably easy targets for him but then the Govt must know this. They can't really be stupid enough to fall for the lies of the anti-smoker industry can they?



The greedy head of Smokerphobia in Australia said she can't wait for the black market to take off and for the increase in child smoking to begin. After all, it means even more paid work for her and a job for life.



As for the threat of a tobacco shortage, Quit executive director Fiona Sharkie declared: ''You're not going to hear me say I'm sorry about that.''



Of course not dear.



Smokers who want to be left alone must find a way of getting their bigoted Govt out of office - or they should leave the country. Things are going to get very dangerous for them down there very soon.

MILTON IN DENIAL

As I'm currently without work, and following my recent holiday to Italy, I must admit that funds are tight. However, thanks to Anne Milton - the corrupt DoH minister who lives happily in the pocket of the anti-smoker industry - I now have a two page worthless letter from her filled with all manner of weird, wild, wacky and frankly paranoid health lies about smoking which will save me a bob or two on bog paper.

My MP Karl McCartney - who I am sure is a good and decent bloke - was invited to The Save Our Pubs and Clubs event at the HoC on June 29. He couldn't make it but kindly agreed to see me at his local surgery where I told him about some of the ridiculous health claims made about smoking, the fraud of passive smoking, and how smokers are being bullied, harassed out of jobs and in some cases sacked just for being smokers.

I also made him aware of a study that shows lifelong smokers from childhood to older age are 60% more likely to die immediately after quitting than if they continue to smoke moderately.

I also raised with Karl my concerns that the Pharma political front group ASH was too close to Govt and it stank of corruption.

After all, it can't be right for a Govt to pay a political lobby group to lobby it to achieve the ideological aim that the Govt wants and bypassing the very real concerns of the electorate - ie: The people who put Milton and her cronies in office.

Karl was very interested in our campaign and wrote to ex-smoker Milton who at least took the time to write him a three sided letter rather than the usual brief "smokers kill 600,000 people per year so fuck off" response her dept usually sends to humble voters concerned at where this is all going.

Milton feigned ignorance of smokers sacked from jobs and bullied in the workplace yet I drew her attention to Page 229 of Velvet Glove, Iron Fist that details names, firms, and cases where that has happened since this nonsense began in the late 1990s.

She is either blind, ignorant or stupid if she hasn't seen articles such as THIS THIS or THIS.

And even after the spiteful blanket ban which forbids smokers from smoking in the workplace, the practice still continues and there is no protection or even recognition to stop this discrimination based on bigotry and not health concerns or a smoker's inability to do the job required.

In 2005, a lady named Sophie Blinham began work at Dataflow Communications but was sacked within 15 minutes of starting her job. She took the firm to court and lost. A spokesman for the "victorious" firm said he didn't want people coming into work "smelling of smoke." Smokers did not, he said, present a "good image." I loathe the smell of chewing gum but I'd never sack someone for it if they didn't chew it at work. Smell - despite the fraudulent studies on Third Hand Smoke - harms no one.

Milton also mentions the Govt's plan to force us down to an 18.5% per cent minority as outlined in the puke inducing title of it's report - no doubt complied by academics in the payroll of Big P and ASH - Healthy Lives, Healthy People: A Tobacco Control Plan for England. Despite the fact she said this, rather more substantial piece of bog paper, "aims to promote comprehensive and evidence based tobacco control in local communities" there is nothing in it based on any more than junk science, manipulated data and a prejudicial view that smokers will be eradicated no matter what.

Then of course Milton repeats - and actually makes up a few new whoppers - on how many die of smoking (fill in huge figure yourself - it's just as accurate). Do you know they now claim it kills more people than road accidents, "other accidents and falls", preventable diabetes, suicide and alcohol abuse? Wow.

I might even be tempted to believe it if this wasn't about health but social engineering by profiteering sociologist academics rather than scientists who work in the more reliable area of biology than behavior.

I forgot during my visit to Karl to ask exactly what the plan for smokers is after we are forced down an even smaller minority but I feel sure that Milton won't admit quite yet that the aim is to criminalise us. My real fear is "quit or prison is the next logical step". I am to write to Karl again to ask him find out what plans lie in store for us and whether I will be jailed in my 70s for failing to subscribe to this new religion

Of course Milton spouts the fraudulent figures on harm caused by passive smoking. Odd that they appear to get worse with each new study or report or research that we are never allowed to see or analyse despite the rapid drop in smoking rates. Also odd that she blames smokers for causing asthma when the fact is that since smoking rates have declined asthma cases have risen.

The studies on passive smoking are all featured in Velvet Glove Iron Fist and they show roughly rounded off that 80% show a null (no) effect, 10% an irritant effect to people extra sensitive to smoke - non show lung cancer - and 10% that show there is a protective effect for children. Milton is quite simply a liar - or naive to the point of stupidity. I would have thought that Britain deserves someone of more intellect to direct policy but then she is an expert bigot and I guess that is the only qualification needed for the modern health dept today. Despite the billions that we put into their funding, they still can't cure cancer and heart disease so they waste our cash on persecuting minorities instead to make it look as if they are "doing something".

Milton even repeats the rubbish about middle ear infections which yesterday's science by press release fraudulently claimed made teenagers deaf. More disgracefully, despite the group that represents and counsels parents on cot deaths refuting and demanding ASH founder John Banzhaf withdraw this false claim, he continued to repeat it until it became "truth".

The Sudden Death Syndrome Alliance said : "The sensational headline for one of your recent Internet reports (07/30) "Smoking Parents are killing their infants" has gone too far. The fact is, resarchers still do not know what causes SIDS ... Insensitive generalisations about SIDS broadcast through print or the electronic media serve only to perpetuate the public's misconceptions ... Your literature states that smoking "kills more than 2000 infants each year from SIDS" Any published figures are sheer speculation, or guesses, not grounded in actual experimentation ... we respectfully request that you adjust your message as far as SIDS is concenred. While we support your cause, we can not do so at the expense of the tens of thousands of families that we represent."

The group said they welcomed Banzhaf's reply but he did not give one and ASH continued to quote the statistic which Milton has now adjusted by just throwing smoking in the mix as the cause of "a variety of conditions including respiratory disease, COT DEATH, (my emphasis) and middle ear disease in children." Yes, we know, they always use the children as human shields to force through their own wet dream of a smoke free world based on ideology not real and proven health concerns.

The only little nugget of comfort was that Milton claimed that "no decision has yet been taken on whether to award further grants to ASH for 2011/12 or beyond." I reckon that as the Govt also aims to use the fraudulent smoker-harms-others template for other lifestyle issues, then ASH will have a new role to play under it's new description of "Public Health Charity". Yes, I think the former "Anti-smoking charity" is looking to ensure it still gets it's unhealthy share of a very large paranoid pie by using its bigoted expertise on other groups of people.

I hope Karl does write to Milton again based on what I have written above but I also know that she will just repeat and keep repeating her outrageous claims until he finally believes them or just gives up. Nanny Milton along with Bully Andrew Lansley, have made the poster below a reality. As much as I really do like Karl, I have to ask as a smoker - and of others as drinkers, fatties and foodies - do you really want to vote Tory next time when all you can expect is more persecution and an unwillingness for Govt depts to actually listen to those it allegedly works for and represents?



The Conservative Govt must be made to see that it's current health policy will lose it votes and damage it's chances of a landslide victory at another election. They managed to scrape together a coalition on 10 million votes - just imagine what they could achieve if they got the 12 million smokers onside as well.

DAY TRIP TO LONDON

The above image is one of my favourite from the Museum of London's Street Photography exhibition. I visited with my sister who was looking for inspiration for some of her own work on capturing moments in time.

I think the photo above struck such a chord with me because it was both poignant and nostalgic. It was representative of my own childhood. We were poor but often we didn't even notice because we were happy. Some of us smoked - when we could get hold of a packet of fags which was far easier then than now - but we didn't expect that if we continued to smoke in a future we couldn't envisage, that we'd be treated worse than the dirt we played in.

I also like the way that the kids in the photo of different ethnic backgrounds naturally get together and get on without the enforcement of today's "Diversity" Officers.

Multiculturalism was something we lived with without it's fancy name through common decency and a respect for other cultures. We all abhorred the divisive racists in the intimidating National Front and their idea of white supremacy which could be seen in another image of NF graffiti on a wall in a bleak looking Brick Lane.

The exhibition was fascinating and there were some fantastic images well worth having a look at including Skinheads and hippies around Trafalgar Square, and the one below which features on the cover of a book I bought as I left the exhibition.



Entry to the Museum and the London Street Photography exhibition is free. It runs until September 4.

I hung around the capital all day with my sister after the visit as she worked to get the street shots she needed for her course. She told me that she'd thought of doing a photographic study of today's smokers. As a never smoker former nurse who doesn't much like the smell of smoke, she hates the ban and the health propaganda around it because she can see how it leads to acceptance of fascism.

She couldn't, however, do that as part of her course because her college is anti-smoking and would never allow such a portrayal. This is the same college that expects its students to sign a contract not to smoke anywhere in it's open air grounds and near vicinity. If they break that clause, they kicked off the course.

I think the last time someone decided what was acceptable artistic impression and what was not was Hitler when he ordered the burning of art and literature which did not meet his own view of world perfection.

TORIES BACK RISE IN CHILD SMOKING

Well, the only way to get more young people smoking and to increase their chance of getting hold of tobacco is to create a thriving black market. There can be no other reason why the NuGovt has announced it has nationalised tobacco packaging with the order that legitimate business must not inform smokers of what product they are buying.

No doubt the criminals are celebrating this unique opportunity and already getting their plain packaged low quality and dangerous mix of shite and tobacco ready for the big day.

Unlike legitimate shop keepers, they will not ask proof of age before selling to children and I can only assume that this is the real aim of the NuGovt and the corrupt anti-smoking industry whose pocket the NuGovt lives in.

Yes, to survive the anti-smoking industry needs more smokers to persecute and not less and so this plan must have an ulterior motive. Intellectual politicians and fair Govts that listen to all sides and conduct consultation before embarking on such stupidity would never do such a thing.

But then who said this NuGovt, and it's health persecutors Andrew Lansley and Ann Milton, had any intelligence? They are blinded and motivated by pure hate.

Smokers - if you voted Tory last time I hope you have taken note. They had no plans to help you. They lied before the election to get your vote and now they are happy to tell you to fuck off.

I hope you give them the same message next time you are asked to support them - like at the upcoming council elections for example. Bloody nose? I'd expect the country's 12 million smokers (ooops - sorry that's gone up to 15 million since the blanket ban) to lay the Tories out flat.
