Should the Blackpool publican be prosecuted for allowing smoking in his pub?
The original version of the smoking ban allowed smoking non-food pubs as per Labour’s manifesto. The free vote for MPs allowed a total ban which was not what we voted for. So prosecution, no, as long as MP’s are allowed to smoke in the members bar in the Houses of Parliament then the ban for the rest of us is a very bad joke. Even in Judge Dredd’s 2000AD justice “Smokatoriums” were allowed for the public to go and smoke unhindered. I look forward to the first court case because sooner or later somebody will shout “Human Rights” and we know where that goes. See you at a Smokatorium near you, soon.
