A Little Sugar for the Ruling Class
Our great rulers are caring beyond the call of duty.
People like Jasmin Alibhai-Brown appear to believe white English people would be assaulting and killing members of ethnic minorities were it not for the restraining power of race relations law.
Groups like ASH believe the only reason British pubs did not go smoke free before July 1st is because there hadn't been a law to "enable" them. They also help poor addicted smokers quit the habit they themselves despise by requesting that government increase tobacco taxes.
I'm sure you could think of other sterling examples. Let me know in the comments.
Doesn't it make you feel all warm inside?
Show some appreciation this weekend.

Mid August - and I, for one, have not noticed a 25% (1 in 4 people) rise in people going into pubs - it's more likely to be the reverse of that. If anyone else has made any observation, please feel free to either agree with me or disagree.

Why is that people like you bleat on about 'liberty' when all it is really about is capitalism and the 'right' to smoke?
Stop hijacking anarchism and using it prop up conservatism/neo-liberalism. Real anti-authoritarians are interested in dismantling oppression in ALL its forms.
