The link would have done.
By the way, I have reported the post because the BBC don't mind links being put on but do object to using the content.
The site has been threatened by them with legal action before now, please be careful, oh, make sense as well, the post of village idiot is filled and I don't think c'mon plans to leave just yet.
I did cut some bits out less an I know a lot of folk on here like their original ink,you may be right anyway:

Thanks for reporting it,and being the pee in my cyber pants.
By that, I mean having your friendly input on my threads is similar to peeing myself,everyone can see it but only I can feel the true warmth

Re: Smoking ban......(Hmmmm)

As someone who never smoked but had to put up with being "smoked" just to socialize, I totally agree with smoking bans in public areas however, your car, your home, your canoe?? are not public areas, common sense and respect should dictate who you smoke around in these places.

BBC NEWS | UK | Stars oppose public smoking ban

What's folks thoughts on separating kids into a space where they won't be at risk (for instance the boot) or like taxis do have a glass/plastic divide?

I have removed the BBC copy and paste as it is against the rules.

Why do these so called celebrities think that anyone cares what they think?

Less, maybe they do...and then forget what they say. I have read the rules, but a long time ago...so maybe I have been downside of one or two of them too.

What other foot?

A restriction on one persons freedom makes it easier to put restrictions on other peoples freedom.

Watch out, the next restriction could be about your freedom to complain.

The erosion of freedom is so insidious that it is barely perceptible...and our freedoms are being eroded at every turn...the PC brigade have done more to erode freedom than any other body...so I get what Less is saying.

Let's be honest, the thread was started on old news, we have all come to terms with the fact smokers have to go outside.
It is working, smokers go outside.
But, where are the non smokers that we were told would fill these establishments once they were made smoke free?
Still sitting at home complaining whenever they can about smokers, so, the laws have changed but no-one seems to have won, unless of course you are petty enough to think that making someone else's life less enjoyable is a plus.

Ah ... you are now the spokesman for the smokers. And you are maybe suggesting that smokers supported and promoted punitive, politically correct, and really quite silly laws that prevented non-smokers from not smoking?
